a. Show that the velocity at time t is given by the expression
b. A 1.6-m-wide, 1.4-m-high, 1500 kg car with a drag coefficient of 0.35 hits a very slick patch of ice while going 20 m/s. If friction is neglected, how long will it take until the car's speed drops to 10 m/s? To 5 m/s?
c. Assess whether or not it is reasonable to neglect kinetic friction.

- You are a good tree climber and were helping your neighbor kid retrieve his pickle ball that was stuck on a tree branch. You estimated the ball is about 5 m above the ground. Once you climbed high enough, you retrieved the ball and tossed it downward at about 2 m/s downward. How long did the kid have to dodge before the ball hits the ground? You can assume the final position to be zero. The pickle ball has negligible amount of air drag. Hint: the ball has a downward initial velocity.arrow_forwardA box is projected upward onto a ramp that has a 15 degree incline. I know knows that it starts with an initial velocity of 8 m / s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.12. Determine the following: a. The distance the box will travel on the ramp. b. The speed of the box when it returns to its original position.arrow_forwardA cart of mass 8.00 kg was moved by applying two constant forces. Force 1 is 28.0N at 42.0°, and Force 2 is 13.0 N at 110°. Initially, the cart has a velocity of (3.50 i +2.20 j) m/s. EERIN d. What is the acceleration of the cart? Ans. å = (2.05 i + 3.87 j) e.

(Gravity applies) a. He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his initial velocity is 2 m/s. How far up the hill will he go before stopping? (there’s no friction) b. He goes back down the hill and then his friend Jill tries to pull him on the tube across a small patch of grass (μk=0.30). If she is pulling parallel to the ground at constant 5 m/s for 5 sec how much power does she expend? c. After climbing back uphill, Dave decided to roll down the hill instead.
