Question
-
You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 56.0 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 2.35 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.346 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body?549.4 N1,100 N1,466 N2,199 N

- The coefficient of friction between the wheels of Yamaha motorcycle and the dry pavement is 0.79. An animal walks out into the road, causing a motorcyclist to slam on the brakes. The wheels stop turning, but the tires skid along the road, causing intense friction and heat. Determine the magnitude (positive) of the acceleration which the 217-kg motorcycle experiences while skidding to a stop. The mass includes the rider. Answer: m/s/s (or m/s²)arrow_forwardA 0.470 kg wooden block is spun around on a wooden table. The wooden block is being spun around on a 2.00 m long massless wire. The wooden block has air being pushed out behind it causing a thrust force of 3.20 N. The air is being pushed out at 70.0° from the radial line as shown in the figure. If the block is initially at rest and the coefficient of friction is 0.360, what is the tension in the wire after 17.0 revolutions?arrow_forwardA 91 kg janitor wearing running shoes is running across an ice rink at a speed of 3.2 m/s. They try to stop abruptly, but keep sliding across the surface of the ice. The ice exerts a frictional force of 13.4 N to slow them down. How far do they travel before halting to a stop?arrow_forward
- A 42-kg skater is standing still in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -2.8 cm/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.80 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force (in N) she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her).arrow_forwardA hockey puck with mass 0.166 kg is pushed across the ice with a constant force of 0.89 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.22. After a distance of 2.6 m, what is the puck's speed in m/s?arrow_forwardA bead with mass 1.80 × 10-2 kg is moving along a wire in the positive direction of an x axis. Beginning at time t = 0, when the bead passes through x = 0 with speed 12.0 m/s, a constant force acts on the bead. The figure indicates the bead's position at times t0 = 0.00 s, t1 = 1.00 s, t2 = 2.00 s, and t3 = 3.00 s. The bead momentarily stops at t = 3.00 s. What is the kinetic energy of the bead at t = 10.0 s?arrow_forward
- A block of mass m = 54 kg slides along a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μk = 0.37. The block has an initial speed of vo = 15 m/s in the positive x-direction as shown. Write an expression for the x-component of the frictional force the block experiences, Ff, in terms of the given variables and variables available in the palette. What is the magnitude of the frictional force in N? How far will the block travel, in meters, before coming to rest?arrow_forwardA 0.590 kg wooden block is spun around on a wooden table. The wooden block is being spun around on a 2.00 m long massless wire. The wooden block has air being pushed out behind it causing a thrust force of 3.60 N. The air is being pushed out at 70.0° from the radial line as shown in the figure. If the block is initially at rest and the coefficient of friction is 0.400, what is the tension in the wire after 17.0 revolutions?arrow_forwardProblem 10: While watching the clouds pass by, you notice a European swallow flying horizontally at a height of h = 21.95 m. When the swallow is directly overhead, it drops an m = 10.5 kg coconut. Refer to the diagram. From your ornithological studies, you know that the air-speed of this particular species of swallow, while carrying such a load, is vo = 6.93 m/s. Neglect air resistance. Assume that your head is at the origin of the coordinate system. Part (a) Calculate the magnitude, in kilogram squared meters per second, of the angular momentum of the coconut, as observed by you, at the moment it is released directly overhead. L = 1597.19 L= 1597 V Correct! Part (b) Let 7 be the time-dependent position vector of the coconut with time measured from the instant it was released by the swallow. Enter an expression for its horizontal component as a function of time. r(1) = vot v Correct! Part (c) Enter an expression, in unit vector notation, for the time-dependent velocity vector, v(1), of…arrow_forward
- Dr. Jekyll (m = 70kg) is riding a skateboard when he realizes the cranberry juice he’s drinking is sweetened with artificial sweetener and turns into Mr. Hyde (m = 155kg). If Dr. Jekyll was initially moving at 6.5m/s, what is Mr. Hyde’s speed?

The student hits the elevator button and it begins to move upwards. While the elevator is moving, the student records this information Time = 0 to 3.0 sec the balance reads 278 grams Time = 3.0 - 12 sec the balance reads 240. grams Time = 12.0 to 15.0 sec the balance reads 192 gram How far up (in meters) did the elevator travel?
