A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg.
If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
A 40,000-kg cargo plane on board an aircraft carrier is to deliver relief supplies to a far-flung city devastated by typhoon. After being shipped near the location, the plane is to take off assisted by a steam catapult with a force of 30,000 N that acts like a big slingshot for the plane to be successfully launched. The takeoff deck is only 250 m long and the plane engine generates a maximum thrust of 60,000 N. The plane needs an airspeed of 160 km/hr at the end of the runway to get airborne. Will the plane be able to takeoff or not? Support your answer with computations
a. yes
b. none of the choices
c. no
d. either yes or no
The Harrier Jump Jet is a fixed wing military jet designed for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL). It is capable of rotating its jets from a horizontal to a vertical orientation in order to takeoff, land and conduct horizontal maneuvers. Determine the vertical thrust required to accelerate an 8600-kg Harrier upward at 0.40 m/s/s.

- A small rocket for gathering weather data has a mass of 30 kg and generates 1500 N of thrust. On a windy day, the wind exerts a 20 N horizontal force on the rocket. If the rocket is launched straight up, what is the shape of its trajectory, and by how much has it been deflected sideways when it reaches a height of 1.0 km? Because the rocket goes much higher than this, assume there’s no significant mass loss during the first 1.0 km of flight.arrow_forwardA 50-kg cart is rolling across the floor with an initial speed of 4 m/s toward a glass window which is 5 m away. Unless you push against the cart to help stop the cart will not stop in time to keep from rolling into the window. The coefficient of friction against the cart is 0.15. You step in front of the cart and push against the motion. You will find what force you need to push in order to stop the cart in a distance of 5 m. what is the net force? what is the force of friction on the cart? what is the force of the push?arrow_forwardThe engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?arrow_forward
- The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes 0.64 s for it to reach the floor. What is the mass m of the block on the left? There is no friction or mass in the pulley, and the connecting rope is very light.arrow_forwardA fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0 kg fish from a dock that is 2.0 m above the water. He is using lightweight fishing line that will break under a tension of 54 N or more. He is eager to get the fish to the dock in the shortest possible time. If the fish is at rest at the water’s surface, what’s the least amount of time in which the fisherman can raise the fish to the dock without losing it?arrow_forwardA skyscraper elevator travels 20 m while reaching its cruising speed of 10m/s.

Note that the passenger is at rest just as the doors close.arrow_forward
- At a history center, an old canal boat is pulled by two draft horses. It doesn’t take much force to keep the boat moving; the drag force is quite small. But it takes some work to get the 55,000 kg boat up to speed! The horses can pull with a steady force and put a 1400 N tension in the rope that connects to the boat. The rope is straight and level. The boat starts from rest, and the horses pull steadily as they begin their walk down the towpath. How much distance do the horses cover as they bring the boat up to its final speed of 0.70 m/s?arrow_forwardA 0.087 kg arrow is fired horizontally. The bowstring exerts an average force of 80 N on the arrow over a distance of 0.90 m. With what speed does the arrow leave the bow? m/sarrow_forwardA 78.0 kg person falls straight down from a 1.60 m height (measured from his feet) and lands with weight distributed equally on both feet. To soften the blow, he bends his knees so that it takes 0.750s for him to stop once his feet touch the ground. (a) What average force does the floor exert on each foot while he is stopping?(b) Suppose instead that he lands stiff-legged and stops in only 0.100s. What force does the floor now exert on each foot?arrow_forward
- To raise money for a university scholorship fund, the new IT dean has volunteered to bungee jump from a crane if contributions can be found for 10 scholarshipis. To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.arrow_forwardJason takes off down a 40 m high hill with a slope inclined at 20° on his jet powered skis with a speed of 12 m/s. The skis have a thrust of 100 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.11 parallel to the surface of the slope. The combined mass of the skis and Jason is 50 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible).arrow_forwardA student wants to angle a ramp such that if she releases a 2.8kg cart at the top of a ramp, the cart will travel 210cm and hit the end of the ramp in 1.6s. Neglect backwards friction and drag. What does the magnitude of the net force on the cart need to be? What does the magnitude of the cart's acceleration need to be? At what incline angle (0) does the ramp need to be slanted? m/s2 What will be the maximum speed of the cart? m/s cannot be detem check answersarrow_forward
