Figure 5-45 shows a 5.00 kg block being pulled along a friction- less floor by a cord that applies a force of constant magnitude 20.0 N but with an angle θ(t) that varies with time. When angle θ = 25.0°, at what rate is the acceleration of the block changing if (a) θ(t) = (2.00 × 10−2 deg/s)t and (b) θ(t) = −(2.00 × 10−2 deg/s)t? (Hint: The angle should be in radians.)

- A block of mass 4.6 kg is sliding down a ramp with an initial speed of 1.5 m/s. The ramp is inclined from the horizontal by an angle theta = 34.9 degrees and the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk = 0.73. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the block along the ramp from the initial time until it stops?arrow_forward(a) You want to design a circular racetrack of radius R such that cars of mass M can go around the track at speed w without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface. Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Your answer should be expressed in terms of M, R, w, and g. (b) Suppose the racecars actually round the track at a speed v > w. What additional radial force is required to keep the cars on the track at this speed?

The inclined plane is L = 6.9 m long and it has a height of h = 3.3 m at its tallest point.

Will the block slide?arrow_forwardA mass m slides up an incline (with = 32.1 degrees above the horizontal) until it stops momentarily because of friction. The coefficient of static friction between the mass and incline is 0.9; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and incline is 0.4.
