A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
A small rocket for gathering weather data has a mass of 30 kg and generates 1500 N of thrust. On a windy day, the wind exerts a 20 N horizontal force on the rocket. If the rocket is launched straight up, what is the shape of its trajectory, and by how much has it been deflected sideways when it reaches a height of 1.0 km? Because the rocket goes much higher than this, assume there’s no significant mass loss during the first 1.0 km of flight.
A 78.0 kg person falls straight down from a 1.60 m height (measured from his feet) and lands with weight distributed equally on both feet. To soften the blow, he bends his knees so that it takes 0.750s for him to stop once his feet touch the ground. (a) What average force does the floor exert on each foot while he is stopping?(b) Suppose instead that he lands stiff-legged and stops in only 0.100s. What force does the floor now exert on each foot?
A small rocket of weight 1.7 lbs is launched vertically with thrust 3 lbs from a stand on the ground at time t = 0 seconds. It has a constant thrust for the first second, then no thrust after that. We will assume no air friction and ignore the mass change of the rocket for now. Determine how long it will take until the rocket reaches maximum height. seconds
A small rocket of weight 0.3 lbs is launched vertically with thrust 3 lbs from a stand on the ground at time t = 0 seconds. It has a constant thrust for the first second, then no thrust after that. We will assume no air friction and ignore the mass change of the rocket for now. Determine the maximum height that the rocket will reach. feet
The Harrier Jump Jet is a fixed wing military jet designed for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). It is capable of rotating its jets from a horizontal to a vertical orientation in order to takeoff, land and conduct horizontal maneuvers. Determine the vertical thrust required to accelerate an 8600-kg Harrier upward at 0.40 m/s/s.
The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?
A young girl is riding a bicycle that has a total mass (including the kid) of 21.2 kg. The girl is moving at 5.99 m/s on a flat road when suddenly she slams on the brakes and skids to a stop in 8.22 meters. What was the magnitutde of the average force due to friction acting on the bicycle? Remeber, the magnitude of a force is always positive. Assume a constant friction force measured in Newtons and 3 significant digits in your answer.
A 40,000-kg cargo plane on board an aircraft carrier is to deliver relief supplies to a far-flung city devastated by typhoon. After being shipped near the location, the plane is to take off assisted by a steam catapult with a force of 30,000 N that acts like a big slingshot for the plane to be successfully launched. The takeoff deck is only 250 m long and the plane engine generates a maximum thrust of 60,000 N. The plane needs an airspeed of 160 km/hr at the end of the runway to get airborne. Will the plane be able to takeoff or not? Support your answer with computations a. yes b. none of the choices c. no d. either yes or no
A toy rocket achieves a velocity of 54.0 m/s after 2.50 s, when fired straight up. If the average force exerted by the engine is 26 N, what is the toy's mass? Your answer
Mary is trying to stop a 5 kg bowling ball that is rolling toward her. Its horizontal velocity is 8.0m/s when she begins to stop it. It takes her 2.0 s to stop the ball. What average force did Maryexert on the ball during this 2.0 s to stop it?
Superman must stop a 130-km/hkm/h train in 110 mm to keep it from hitting a stalled car on the tracks. The train's mass is 3.6 ×× 105 kgkg. Determine the force that must be exerted on the train. Compare the magnitudes of the force exerted on the train and the weight of the train (give as %%). How much force does the train exert on Superman?
