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 71.1 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.82 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.305 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?

- Case 2: A 450 kg roller coaster car starts at the top of a 35.6 meter high hill, with a velocity of 3.4 m/s. Point B is at the top of a second hill which is 22.7 meters high. After traveling down the second hill, the car reaches ground level. It travels across a flat section, where the force of friction is 78.7 N. Point C is located 11.8 meters into the flat section.

During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of 0.04 s. The average force exerted on him by the ground is +18000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is that due to the ground.

Unable to just walk off, you decide to push off your physics book with a force of 80.0N for 0.1s. How long in minutes will it take you to reach the shore if your mass is 75kg?arrow_forward
- 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 72.3 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.52 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.223 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? 1 2,210 N 2 2,947 N 3 4,420 N 4 709.3 Narrow_forwardCray-Zee is speeding along at 26 m/s as she approaches the level section of track near the loading dock of the Whizzer roller coaster ride. A braking system abruptly brings the 392-kg car (rider mas included) to a speed of 3 m/s over a distance of 5.7 meters Determine the magnitude (positive answer) of the braking force applied to Cray-Zee's car. Answer: Narrow_forwardSherlock Holmes is one of the most famous detectives in fiction literature. Even with limited resources to solve crime in the 1800-1900's, Holmes could solve countless mysteries. A carriage was North-bound traveling at a leisurely pace of 5 km/hr. It collided with a Westward-bound speeding carriage and they stuck together, skidding across the dirt at an North-West direction away from the point of collision. What physics law(s) does Sherlock use to solve this mystery?

What is the sled s velocity with you now on it? 1.38 m/s 1.22 m/s 1.06 m/s 0.53 m/sarrow_forwardA brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 740 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 88 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.8 m/s2 backward. Randomized Variables: f = 740 Nm1 = 88 kgm2 = 118 kga = 1.8 m/s2 1. What is the magnitude of the force of friction, in newtons, between the losing player's feet and the grass as he slides backwards? F1 = 2. What is the magnitude of the force, in newtons, that the winning player exerts on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 118 kg? Assume the second player has the same acceleration as the first. F2=arrow_forwardYour mass is 92.6 kg, and the sled s mass is 17.1 kg.

- 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 54.7 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.20 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.396 seconds later.

His 1255 kg car hit a guardrail while moving at 15.98 m/s. The guardrail exerted a 6.110E4 N force on the car for 0.1233 s. After the car hit the guardrail, how fast was it moving?arrow_forwardA 49.2-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of -2.08 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.756 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her). Note that this force has direction, which you should indicate with the sign of your answer. Number Type your answer here Units Choose your answer herearrow_forward
