Effect on blood of walking. While a person is walking, his arms swing through approximately a 45° angle in 1/2 s. As a reasonable approximation, we can assume that the arm moves with constant speed during each swing. A typical arm is 70.0 cm long, measured from the shoulder joint. (a) What is the acceleration of a 1.0 gram drop of blood in the fingertips at the bottom of the swing? (b) Make a free-body diagram of the drop of blood in part (a). (c) Find the force that the blood vessel must exert on the drop of blood in part (b). Which way does this force point? (d) What force would the blood vessel exert if the arm were not swinging?

- A drag chute must be designed to reduce the speed of a 1171 kg dragster from 342 km/hr to 80 km/hr in 4 seconds. Assume that the drag force is proportional to the velocity (kv). a) What value of the drag coefficient k is needed to accomplish this? kg · s? (Leave an exact answer.) m2 k = b) How far (in meters) will the dragster travel in the 4-sec interval? d = meters.

(a) What is the tension in the vine if Jill, whose mass is 65.0 kg, is moving at 3.00 m/s when the vine is vertical? (b) If the maximum tension that the rope can support is 750 N, what is the maximum speed that you can have on the rope?arrow_forwardA copper block with mass m = 200 g, is at rest on a glass surface, where the plane makes an angle θθ = 45∘. Assume that the glass surface is frictionless. Calculate the acceleration of the copper block when it is released from rest. Express your result in m/s2. Using the information presented calculate the force acting on the mass, m = 200 g, just as it is released from the top of the inclined plane, at y = 8.48 m. Express your answer in Newtons.arrow_forward

Starting with a speed v0 = 14.4m/s, it comes to rest over a distance d = 28.8m Part (a) Write an expression for the magnitude of the net force on a passenger with mass m . If m = 61.3kg, then what is the numeric value, in newtons, for the net force in Part (a)? .arrow_forwardA block of mass 3.2 kg is released from rest on a frictionless inclined plane, which makes an angle an angle 30° with the horizontal. The blocks travels a distance of 2.5 m before hitting the ground. (a) Find the acceleration of the block. (b) Find the speed of the block when it hits the ground. (c) What must be the angle of inclination to achieve an acceleration of 7.5 m/s² ?arrow_forwardA 0.152 kg ball is attached to a string that is 62.2 cm long. The string will break if subjected to a tension force of 4.8 N. If a small child swings the ball in a horizontal circle around her head, at what velocity will the string break?arrow_forward
- When an object accelerates at 9.8 m/s2 (or 32 ft/s2), we say it accelerates with 1 g. This is true whether the object is falling under gravity, or due to something else. Using the constant-acceleration approximation, determine how many g's are involved at Cedar Point's Top Thrill Dragster. According to the park, it goes 0 to 170 mph in 3.8 s on the horizontal track, before turning up vertically. Round the final answer to three decimal places.arrow_forwardYou're driving along at 25m/s with your aunt's valuable antiques in the back of your pickup truck when suddenly you see a giant hole in the road 55 m ahead of you. Fortunately, your foot is right beside the brake and your reaction time is zero! If the coefficients of friction are μs =0.6 and uk =0.3, how much time does it take you to stop if you don't want the antiques to slide and be damaged?arrow_forwardIt has been determined that a force over 200 N can injure the hand. What is the shortest period of time it will take to stop a 2 kg object traveling at 75 m/s if the hand is to be protected?arrow_forward
- A box with mass m sits at the bottom of a long ramp thatis sloped upward at an angle a above the horizontal. You give the boxa quick shove, and after it leaves your hands it is moving up the rampwith an initial speed v0. The box travels a distance d up the ramp andthen slides back down. When it returns to its starting point, the speedof the box is half the speed it started with; it has speed v0 /2. What isthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp? (Youranswer should depend on only a.)arrow_forwardAt Ted's request, Bill pushes the pizza box across the granite countertop towards Ted. When the box leaves Bill's hand it is sliding at 2.60 m/s. The box comes to rest over a distance of 110 cm. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, uk, between the pizza box and the countertop? (Ignore air drag.)arrow_forwardWhile a person is walking, his arms {with typical lengths 70 cm measured from the shoulder joint) swing through approximately a 45 angle in 0.5 s. As a reasonable approximation, we can assume that the arm moves with constant speed during each swing. Find the magnitude of the force that the blood vessel must exert on the drop of blood. Express your answer using two significant figures. Find the direction of the force that the blood vessel must exert on the drop of blood What force would the blood vessel exert if the arm were not swinging? Express your answer using two significant figures.
