If a very smooth ball is rolled down an inclined surface with zero friction, the ball will continue to roll indefinitely for an infinite time, in an attempt to reach to the same height on the opposite hill!

Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 53GP

|| You’ve attached a bungee cord to a wagon and are using it to pull your little sister while you take her for a jaunt. The bungee’s unstretched length is 1.3 m, and you happen to know that your little sister weighs 220 N and the wagon weighs 75 N. Crossing a street, you accelerate from rest to your normal walking speed of 1.5 m/s in 2.0 s, and you notice that while you’re accelerating, the bungee’s length increases to about 2.0 m. What’s the force constant of the bungee cord, assuming it obeys Hooke’s law?

Students have asked these similar questions

⦁ A 90-kg skydiver jumps out of a plane above the earth. ⦁ As soon as he exits the plane, when there is no air resistance, what is the skydiver’s acceleration? ⦁ After one second, he is now accelerating at a rate of 6.7 m/s/s downward. What force is the air exerting on him? (Draw a free-body diagram!)

1. A roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a track 30.0 m long and inclined at 20.0° to the horizontal. Assume that friction can be ignored. (a) What is the acceleration of the car? (b) How much time elapses before it reaches the bottom of the track? 2. A 2.50-kg fireworks shell is fired straight up from a mortar and reaches a height of 110.0 m. (a) Neglecting air resistance, calculate the shell's velocity when it leaves the mortar. (b) What is the force on the shell in the mortar? 3. Find the tension in each of the 3 cables supporting the traffic lights 41.0 63.0 T2 200 N 4. Shown below are two carts connected by a cord that passes over a small frietionless pulley. Each cart rolls freely with negligible friction. Calculate the acceleration of the carts and the tension in the cord.

A fighter jet must achieve a final velocity, vf = 187 m/s, in order to produce enough lift for take off. The jet produces a constant acceleration of 10g. Find a numerical value for the minimum runway length dmin (in meters) the jet will need to reach takeoff velocity, if it starts at rest. Assume it starts at rest, and use g = 9.8 m/s2 dmin = |
