- 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 rocket-powered hockey puck moves on a horizontal frictionless table. The figure shows the graphs of Vx and Vy, and the y components of the puck's velocity. The puck starts at the origin.

The masses have the values M(1): 27.0Kg and m(2)= 11.0Kg. Assume that the rope and pulley are massless and that there is no friction in the pulley. What is the magnitude of the masses' acceleration a? What is the magnitude of the tension T in the rope?arrow_forward
- A daredevil is going to ride her rocket-powered motorcycle through a circular loop-the- loop which has a 3.0 meter radius. 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_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_forwardA stone with a mass of 0.600 kg is attached to one end of a string 0.800 m long. The string will break if its tension exceeds 65.0 N. The stone is whirled in a Part A horizontal circle on a frictionless tabletop; the other end of the string remains fixed. Find the maximum speed the stone can attain without breaking the string.

- A skier slides down a hill in a straight line. The hill is 60m high and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the skis is 0.1. The hill is at an angle of 10 degrees with the horizontal. The mass of the skier is 70 kg. If the skier starts her run from rest and air friction can be ignored, how fast is she moving at the bottom of the hill? Please answer in units of m/s.arrow_forwardYou have put a sonar device at the top of a frictionless inclined plane. That device allows you to measure the distance an object is from the device, as well as the speed and the acceleration of that object. If we decide that the origin (h = 0) is at the sonar device, we want to know what the height change is as we slide down the incline. For an angle below the horizontal of 9.74°, we see that our object has slid a distance 0.54 m, as measured along the incline itself. - Calculate the height change and report your answer as a negative number. (This value would be useful for calculating the change in gravitational potential energy, as we will do in the lab.) h=o earrow_forwardInitially block A has a speed of 3 m/s as shown.

- A 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_forwardMY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER You have landed on an alien planet and because you have nothing better to do with your time, you have decided to do a physics experiment with a block. Your experiment is shown above. A 60 kg block on a horizontal surface is attached to a rope. The normal force on the block is 378 N. The block is moving to the right, k = 0.6, & the acceleration of the block is 5.22 m/s² to the right. Determine g (the free fall acceleration on this planet) & the tension in the rope. g = FT =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. Express your answer in terms of Vi, r, t, and any necessary constants. d) Find the distance from the planet's center at which an object launched from the surface with…arrow_forward
