- A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute. It starts at a height of 1.63 m above the bottom of the chute with an initial speed of 1.41 m/s . The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.273 . How far from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Assume ?=9.81 m/s2 .arrow_forwardYou want the final speed at the bottom of your roller coaster hill to be 25 m/s. What is the height (h) of the hill to achieve this? Use g = 9.8 m/s2arrow_forwardWhether or not an object (such as a plate, glass, or bone) breaks upon impact depends on the average force exerted on that object by the surface. When a 2.5 kg glass figure hits the floor, it will break if it experiences an average force of 538 N. When it hits a tile floor, the glass comes to a stop in 0.020 s. From what minimum height (in m) must the glass fall to experience sufficient force to break? m How would your answer change if the figure were falling to a padded or carpeted surface? Explain. The duration of the collision would be shorter, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be more.The duration of the collision would be longer, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be less. The duration of the collision would be longer, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be more.The duration of the collision would be shorter, so the average force for a given change in momentum would be less.arrow_forward

- The elevator car, including passengers, has a mass of 1800 kg. Each floor of the building is separated by 4 m (i.e., the ground floor is at 0 m, the 1st floor is at 4 m, the 2nd floor is at 8 m, etc.) and the top floor is the 10th floor. The elevator goes up from the ground floor, accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches the 1st floor at a speed of 1 m/s. It then maintains a constant speed, before decelerating (again at a constant rate) back to rest from the 9th to the 10th floor. a. Assuming that friction and drag forces are negligible, what is the maximum power output required for the elevator motor? b. How much work is done by the tension force (in the cable that pulls the elevator car up) from the ground floor to the 1st floor? From the 1st floor to the 9th floor? From the 9th floor to the 10th floor? c. How much work is done by the gravitational force from the ground floor to the 1st floor? From the 1st floor to the 9th floor? From the 9th floor to the 10th floor?arrow_forwardMike pushes a box with a mass of 6.41 kg giving it an initial velocity of 2.49 m/s.
