Chapter 6, Problem 4RQ
- 4. I am standing on the upper deck of the football stadium. I have an egg in my hand. I am going to drop it, and you are going to try to catch it. You are standing on the ground. Apparently, you do not want to stand directly under me; in fact, you would like to stand as far to one side as you can so that if I accidentally release it, it won’t hit you on the head. If you can run at 20 feet per second and I am at a height of 100 feet, how far away can you stand and still catch the egg if you start running when I let go?

A seesaw that weights 45lbs and its 5m long is balanced on the fulcrum in the center.
1- Two children are sitting on opposite sides of each other on the seesaw. One child weights 50lbs and is sitting 0.7m on the left end. Where should the other child sit in order to be balanced on the seesaw if they weigh 42lbs?
2- Now, a third child wants to sit on the seesaw and weighs 30lbs and is sitting 1.25m in front of them and is closer to the fulcrum on the right side. What are the CW and CCW moment of the seesaw now? What is the net moment and direction?
3- Then, a fourth child wants to play on the seesaw and is on the left side of the plank in order to bring the system to equilibrium. How much does the child weigh (Calculate the pounds of force needed in order for rebalance?)
4- Now the fourth child leaves the other three children sitting on the plank. If the three children are sitting in the same potions as they did in…

- You are working at a tropical resort, and are setting up a treasure hunt activity for the guests. You’ve been given a map and told to follow its directions in order to bury a “treasure” at a specific location. You don’t want to waste time walking around the island because you want to finish early and go surfing. The directions are to walk 3.00 km headed 60.0° north of due east and then 4.00 km headed 40.0° north of due west. Where should you head and how far must you walk to get the job done quickly?arrow_forwardPROBLEM 3: POWER AND EFFICIENCY PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY ASSIGNMENT - Solve the problems on a clean sheet of paper.

- 5 Timmy pulls with a force of 35 N on the massless rope which belongs to the pulley arrangement shown. Pulley wheels A, B, and C are fixed to the wall and don't move. The pulley system is frictionless. The cart's rolling friction is not negligible. Timmy's feet do not slide on the cart surface. A) What is Timmy's acceleration? B) Calculate the friction force on Timmy's shoes. What type of friction is this?

The situation has changed and the numbers have changed. Bonita Cart Bonita is again pulling a cart to the right. The cart used to be tied to a wall but now the rope has broken so the cart rolls over the horizontal floor without friction. Assume that the only forces on the cart are tension forces (including the force from Bonita), normal forces, and gravity with g = 9.81 m/s?. Bonita's shoes do not slide over the floor. Bonita has a mass of 52 kg. The cart has a mass of 45 kg. The mass of the rope is small enough to be ignored. Bonita is pulling the cart with a constant force of 283 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the force that the cart exerts on Bonita. Note that the magnitude of a force is a positive quantity.arrow_forward

- Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 29 h by exerting a force parallel to the equator, opposing the rotation. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.15 × 107 N. For the purposes calculations in this problem you should treat the Earth as a sphere of uniform density even though it isn't. a. How long, in seconds, must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.)arrow_forward2.59 shows the motion diagram, made at two frames of film per second, of a ball rolling along a track.

Place your data in a table, similar to Table 2.1, showing each position and the instant of time at which it occurred.b. Make a graph of x versus t for the ball. Because you have data only at certain instants of time, your graph should consist of dots that are not connected together.c. What is the change in the ball’s position from t = 0 s to t = 1.0 s?d.
