- A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and Inclined at 28.0°. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 4.50 m/s up the incline. When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of the incdline with an initial speed v. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. (a Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline. (b) Determine the initial speed of the second sled. m/sarrow_forwardA person whose weight is 508 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 39.5 m deep. The maximum tension that the rope can withstand without breaking is 588 N. What is the shortest time, starting from rest, in which the person can be brought out of the cave?

She has 50.0 meters to get up to speed before going into the loop. Assuming there is no friction or air resistance, what maximum force must be applied to the motorcycle over the 50.0 m in order for her to make it through the loop without losing consciousness? Most humans can experience accelerations up to 3g before losing consciousness. Assume the combined mass of the rider and motorcycle is 250 kg. I keep getting 367N but the study guide says 510 N (rounded from 514.5 N)arrow_forward
- A 670 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius of 6.9 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 2.9 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 6.9 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s². How long does it take him to reach the south shore? Answer in units of s.arrow_forwardFigure Q4 shows the track of a roller coaster. If the track is to be designed so that the passengers of the roller coaster do not experience a normal force equal to zero or more than 5 times their weight, determine the limiting heights h, and hc so that this does not occur. The roller coaster starts from rest at position A. pB and pc are radii of curvature of the track at locations B and C, respectively. Neglect friction.arrow_forwardA bowling ball weighing 71.2 N is attached to the ceiling by a 3.50 m rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released; it then swings back and forth like a pendulum. As the rope swings through its lowest point, the speed of the bowling ball is measured at 4.80 m/s. A) At that instant, find the magnitude of the acceleration of the bowling ball. Express your answer with the appropriate units. B) At that instant, find the tension in the rope. Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- Each hand pushes with a constant force 4. Two identical blocks are connected by an ideal spring. The blocks are pushed towards each other across a level frictionless surface by hands that each exert a constant horizontal force of magnitude F,. At time t, the blocks have speed v, and the spring is at its equilibrium length. At time t2, when the experiment ends, the blocks have each moved a distance d,.

- A frictionless plane is 10.0 m long and inclined at 32.0°. A sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 4.90 m/s up the incline. When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops, a second sled is released from the top of the incline with an initial speed vi. Both sleds reach the bottom of the incline at the same moment. Determine the distance that the first sled traveled up the incline (m). and Determine the initial speed of the second sled (m/s).arrow_forwardA man pushes an object to the right and exerts a force which has a horizontal compotent of F = 33 N. A horizontal frictional force has a magnitude of f = 15 N which opposed the horizontal component of the fushing force. The mass of the object is m = 31 kg. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the object. If the object starts at rest what is the speed in meters per second at t = 2.00s? If the man stops pushing the object at t = 2.00s and the firctional force is constant what is the distance in meters does to object slide before coming to a rest?arrow_forwardYou go where no one has gone before and discover an interesting planet of radius r. When you arrive, you clearly want to do some experiments to learn more about this world. You begin with some simple kinematics and measure the time t for an object thrown directly up with velocity vi to return to your hand. With this information, you find that the acceleration due to gravity g is much lower than on Earth. a) Find the mass of the planet mp in terms of vi, t, r, and any necessary constants. b) You decide to orbit the planet in your spacecraft at a distance R above the surface of the planet. Find the time required to complete one orbit in terms of R, r, Vi, t, and any necessary constants. c) Find the escape velocity ve– the initial velocity necessary for an object to barely escape the gravitational pull of the planet.
