- You find it takes 190 N of horizontal force to move an unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s . You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42%while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance..arrow_forwardTry again. A 4.6 kg body is at rest on a frictionless horizontal air track when a constant horizontal force F acting in the positive direction of an x axis along the track is applied to the body. A stroboscopic graph of the position of the body as it slides to the right is shown in the figure. The force F is applied to the body at t = 0, and the graph records the position of the body at 0.50 s intervals.

He claims to have slammed on his brakes to avoid rear-ending another car, but tapped the back of the other car just as he came to rest. You have been hired by the prosecution to prove that the driver was indeed speeding. You have received data as follows from the police: Skid marks left by the driver are 56.0 m long and the roadway is level. Tires matching those on the car of the driver have been dragged over the same roadway to determine that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the roadway is 0.82 at all points along the skid mark. The speed limit on the road is 35 mi/h. Construct an argument to be used in court to show that the driver was indeed speeding.arrow_forward
- On 24 November 2021 the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft was launched. Its mission is to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. DART was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket. At launch a Falcon rocket has a mass of 555 000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. A. Neglecting the effect of gravity, what is the initial acceleration of the rocket? Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. B. Assuming that the initial acceleration remains constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after 2 seconds? C. In practice, as the rocket burns fuel, its mass decreases. Assuming the thrust remains the same, how would your answer to part (ii) change? Would the speed after 2 seconds be lower, the same or higher?arrow_forward13. Two constant forces of magnitude F1 and F2 act on a particle of mass 5.00 kg which is at rest at the origin. The force F1 points at 14.5° west of north, while the force F2 points at 58.3° west of south. Due to the two forces, the particle accelerates and is later located at 32.4 m, 17.0° north of west with speed 12.2 m/s. What is F1? A. 10.7 N B. 0.524 N C. 9.28 N D. 9.03 Narrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forward
- A 1447 kg car accelerates from a complete stop at a traffic light to a speed of 28.5 m/s in 73 seconds (the car is on a perfectly flat surface). The ground exerts a horizontal force on the tires preventing them from slipping as the car accelerates. What is the average of this force for the entire experiment? 564.92 N 564.92 If the tire does not slip at its point of contact (where the force is acting), how far does the force displace the tire? 1040.25 1040.25 Thus, how much work is done on the real car system by this force?arrow_forwardA 3.0-kg block sits on top of a 5.0-kg block which is on a horizontal surface. The 5.0-kg block is pulled to the right with a force F⃗ as shown in the figure . The coefficient of static friction between all surfaces is 0.56 and the kinetic coefficient is 0.39.What is the minimum value of F needed to move the two blocks? If the force is 10% greater than your answer for (a), what is the acceleration of each block?arrow_forwardtrying to get his car out of mud, a man ties one end of a rope around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 18 m away.
