- Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.500 with the flatbed of the truck. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck. (b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?arrow_forwardAs a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmons acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.arrow_forwardDescribe a situation in which the net external force on a system is not zero, yet its speed remains constant.arrow_forward
- Calculate the normal force on a 15.0 kg block in the following circumstances: (a) The block is resting on a level surface. (b) The block is resting on a surface tilted up at a 30.0 angle with respect to the horizontal. (c) The block is resting on the floor of an elevator that is accelerating upwards at 3.00 m./s2. (d) The block is on a level surface and a force of 125 N is exerted on it at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. (Sec Section 1.5.)arrow_forwardA 5.00-kg block is placed on top of a 10.0-kg block (Fig. P5.50). A horizontal force of 45.0 N is applied to the 10-kg block, and the 5-kg block is tied to the wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all moving surfaces is 0.200. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block and identify the action-reaction forces between the blocks. (b) Determine the tension in the string and the magnitude of the acceleration of the 10-kg block. Figure P5.50arrow_forwardA 6.0-kg object undergoes an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on it? (b) If this same force is applied to a 4.0-kg object, what acceleration is produced?arrow_forward

Find the tension in the cable: a. when the elevator acceierates up at 3.00 m/s b. when the elevator accelerates down at 3.00 m/s2 c. when the elevator moves up at a con- stant velocity d. when the elevator moves down at a 9mulo constant velocityarrow_forwardListen> If two objects with different masses are pushing each other, which exerts the greater force? The object with the smaller mass exerts the greater force on the larger object because it requires more force to make the larger object move. It is impossible to tell which object exerts the greater force unless we know which object accelerates. The object with the greater mass exerts the greater force on the smaller object because the larger object has more inertia. They both exert the same amount of force on each other regardless of their mass, but in opposite directions.arrow_forward

O Hint 0% Check Answer As a hiker in Glacier National Park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. You find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. Part of the ice outcropping forms a 51.5° slope up to a vertical cliff. You decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. You put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. You currently have 22.5 kg of food left for the rest of your trip so you put 22.5 kg of rocks in the anchor bag to balance it out.
