Chapter 4, Problem 74GP
* Emily pulls a 5-kg block across a rough horizontal surface, exerting a constant force on the block. The magnitude of the force is initially 5 N, and the block moves at a constant velocity of 2 m/s. While the block is moving, Emily instantly increases the force to 10 N. How will the block move now?
Andrew says: The block will move at a constant velocity of 4 m/s because it was initially moving with constant velocity and the final force is two times larger than the initial force.
Jasit says: The block will move at a constant acceleration of 2 m/s because the sum of the forces exerted on the block is 10 N and the mass of the block is 5 kg.
Mary says: The block will move at a constant acceleration of

- One great form of athletic competition for bulldogs, American pit bull terriers, huskies, and many other breeds is the weight pull. Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface. (The sled is normally on a set of rails.)arrow_forwardIn a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.2 (d) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.8arrow_forwardA fisherman poles a boat as he searches for his next catch. He pushes parallel to the length of the light pole, exerting a force of 240 N on the bottom of a shallow lake. The pole lies in the vertical plane containing the boats keel. At one moment, the pole makes an angle of 35.0 with the vertical and the water exerts a horizontal drag force of 47.5 N on the boat, opposite to its forward velocity of magnitude 0.857 m/s. The mass of the boat including its cargo and the worker is 370 kg. (a) The water exerts a buoyant force vertically upward on the boat. Find the magnitude of this force. (b) Assume the forces are constant user a short interval of time. Find the velocity of the boat 0.450 s after the moment described, (c) If the angle of the pole with respect to the vertical increased but the exerted force against the bottom remained the same, what would happen to buoyant forte and the acceleration of the boat?arrow_forward
