You are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding an island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 105 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct…
A child with mass of 16.5 kg stands on the edge of a park bench and leaps into the air. Her initial speed is 2.4 m/s directed at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.28 seconds what is the horizontal component of her velocity in m/s?
While driving to work one day, I was holding my coffee mug in my left hand while changing the radio station with my right hand. Then my cell phone rang, so I placed the mug on the flat part of my dashboard. Then, believe it or not, a deer ran out of the woods and onto the road right in front of me. Fortunately, my reaction time was zero, and I was able to stop from a speed of 17 m/s in a mere 50 m, just barely avoiding the deer, without the coffee mug sliding. The mug (with coffee) had a mass of 550 g, and the mass of the deer was 150 kg. Part A What is the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the mug and the dashboard? Hg =
If a 140 g baseball strikes your head at 33 m/s and stops in 0.0014 s , what is the magnitude of the ball's deceleration.
A hockey puck (mass = 4 kg) leaves the players stick with a speed of 12 m/s and slides on the ice before coming to rest. The coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice is 0.3. How far will the puck slide after leaving the players stick?
To promote their new album, Black Pink decided to launch a satellite into orbit that will intercept all airwaves and play their songs worldwide. To do this, he needs to mount a 200 [kg] satellite onto a 850 [kg] rocket. It blasts off vertically from a launch pad with a constant net upward acceleration of 3.80 [m/s2 ]. When it has reached a height of 680 [m], the satellite was released, and the rocket blew up shortly after, due to a system failure. Assume that the satellite was not damaged after the explosion. (a) What is the maximum height that the satellite will reach above the launch pad? (b) How much time will elapse after system failure before the satellite comes crashing down the launch pad? (c) How fast will the satellite be moving just before it crashes?
A student pushes a 12-kg block on a frictionless, horizontal surface. If the block is initially at rest, what is the speed of the block after the student pushes the block for 5 seconds with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s/s? O 2.0 m/s 6.0 m/s 10 m/s 60 m/s
When the red kangaroo of Australia is moving at full speed, it can bounce at a speed of 8.5 meters per second, at an angle of 45 degrees above horizontal. Assuming the kangaroo is bouncing on level ground, what is the kangaroo’s hang time in the air during a single bounce?
A cannon is on the edge of a vertical cliff 50 m high. The cannon then fires horizontally giving the cannon ball a speed of 420 m/s. What is the speed of impact (in m/s) of the cannon ball?
You're an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, examining a subway accident in which a train going at 90 km/hkm/h collided with a slower train traveling in the same direction at 24 km/hkm/h . Your job is to determine the relative speed of the collision, to help establish new crash standards. The faster train's "black box" shows that it began negatively accelerating at 2.1 m/s2m/s2 when it was 52 mm from the slower train, while the slower train continued at constant speed. What do you report ?
