Question
Your car (1153 kg) dies & you need to get it out of a parking spot. You & your friends apply 6959 N [R 16O D] for 10 seconds. It then starts to move on its own. If the coefficient of friction is 0.31, how far will it travel in total?

- You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 42.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 18.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. What speed u (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.) V = x10 TOOLS mpharrow_forwardA mass is on a slope with a coefficient of friction = 0.79. Slowly the angle of the slope is increased. What is the angle in degrees when the mass just starts to slide down the slope?arrow_forwardi never practiced a problem like this in chapter six and need some help working through it as i’m rusty on the concepts of 6arrow_forward
- A 400 g block with an initial speed of 80 cm/s slides along a horizontal tabletop against a friction force of 0.70N. (a) How far will it slide before stopping? (b) What is the coefficient of friction between the block and the tabletop?arrow_forwardThe figure shows a block of mass m resting on a 20o slope. The block has coefficients of friction us=0.64 and uk=0.54 with the surface of the slope. It is connected using a very light string over an ideal pulley to a hanging block of mass 2.0 kg. The string above the slope pulls parallel to the surface. What is the minimum mass m so the system will remain at rest when it is released from rest?arrow_forwardA small boat is being pushed up a ramp into the back of a flatbed truck. The boat is sitting at the top of the ramp, which is located 1.4 m above the ground. The boaters think the boat is safe there, and begin to walkaway. However, they have neglected the thin layer of ice that has formed on the ramp, which is angled at 30◦ up from the ground. Neglecting the friction between the boat and the ramp, how long do the boaters havebefore the boat reaches the bottom of the ramp?arrow_forward
- please answer only using algebra, no calculusarrow_forwardA 1,300kg car is traveling at a velocity of 30.0m/s when the driver slams on the brakes. If a constant force of kinetic friction of magnitude 9,200N acts on the car, how far does the car travel when it comes to a stoparrow_forwardrough surfice Smath swace leeeeed 2.50m he 3.00m E; Ei + WNc A 34.2 kg block slides with a velocity of 10.22 m/s to the right on a frictionless surface (as shown in the figure above). The block slides up a slope to a height of 3.00 m and then slides across a 2.50 m long rough surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.325. The block continues to travel to the right and bumps into a massless spring with a spring constant (k) equal to 2320 N/m. a) How much does the spring get compressed by the block with respect to its equilibrium length? Please answer with a positive number in units of metres, with 3 sig figs. Start with conservation of energy: E, = E; + WNC , and show all steps. b) What is the potential energy stored by the spring when the mass comes to a stop? Please show the symbolic equation and then "plug in the numbers" to give a numerical answer in units of joules with 3 sig figs. c) What happens to the potential energy stored in the spring after the block stops…arrow_forward
