Chapter 9, Problem 18PCE
Air Bag Safety If a driver makes contact with a steering wheel during a 35-mph crash, she comes to rest in about Δt = 15 ms. If, during an identical crash, the driver makes contact with an air bag, she comes to rest in about Δt = 110 ms. What is the ratio Fsw/Fab of the force exerted by the steering wheel to the force exerted by the air bag on the driver?

- An ice cube with a mass of 0.0507 kg is placed at the midpoint of a 1.00-m-long wooden board that is propped up at a 50 angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the wood is 0.133. a. How much time does it take for the ice cube to slide to the lower end of the board? b. If the ice cube is replaced with a 0.0507-kg wooden block, where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the board is 0.275, at what angle should the board be placed so that the block takes the same amount of time to slide to the lower end as the ice cube does?

Explain why the rod remains at rest, supporting the curtain. Explain why the name is misleading and come up with a better name. FIGURE P6.7arrow_forwardIn many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.arrow_forwardA 0.500-kg potato is fired at an angle of 80.0 above the horizontal from a PVC pipe used as a “potato gun” and reaches a height of 110.0 m.
