A 13-kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m long. The lowest he can get his center of mass is 0.10 m above the ground, and the highest he can get it before he can no longer push against the ground is 0.40 m
If the maximum force the dog can exert on the ground in pushing off is 2.1 times the gravitational force Earth exerts on him, how high can he jump?

Cars used to be built as rigid as possible to withstand collisions. Today, though, cars are designed to have “crumple zones” that collapse upon impact. What is the advantage of this new design?

As shown in Figure P8.49, the skateboarder starts from rest in a crouch-ing position at one lip of a half-pipe (point ). The half-pipe is one half of a cylinder of radius 6.80 m with its axis horizontal. On his descent, the skateboarder moves without friction so that his center of mass moves through one quarter of a circle of radius 630 m. (a) Find his speed at the bottom of the half-pipe (point (b) Immediately after passing point he stands up and raises his arms, lifting his center of mass from 0.500 in to 0.950 m above the concrete (point ). Next, the skateboarder glides upward with his center of mass moving in a quarter circle of radius 5.85 m. His body is horizontal when he passes point , the far lip of the half-pipe. As he passes through point , the speed of the skateboarder is 5.14 m/s. How much chemical potential energy in the body of the skateboarder was converted to mechanical energy in the skateboarderEarth system when he stood up at point ? (c) How high above point does he rise? Caution: Do not try this stunt yourself without the required skill and protective equipment.

The center of mass of each individual meterstick is at its midpoint, and the mass of each meterstick is m. a. Where is the center of mass of the two-stick system as depicted in the figure, with the origin located at the intersection of the sticks? b. Can the two-stick system be balanced on the end of your finger so that it remains lying flat in front of you in the orientation shown? Why or why not? FIGURE P10.18 (a) The center of mass of the stick on the x axis would be at (0.5 m, 0), and the center of mass of the stick on the stick on the y axis be at (0, 0.5 m), assuming the sticks are uniform. We can then use Equation 10.3 to find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass. xCM=1Mj=1nmjxj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25myCM=1Mj=1nmjyj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25m The location of the center of mass is (0.25m,0.25m) (b) No. The location of the center of mass is not located on the object, so your finger would not be in contact with the object. In a different orientation, balancing by applying a force at the center of mass might be possible, but not in the orientation shown.arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 = 20.0 kg is connected to a block of mass m2 = 30.0 kg by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The 30.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 250 N/m as shown in Figure P7.73. The spring is un-stretched when the system is as shown in the figure, and the incline is frictionless. The 20.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 20.0 cm down the incline of angle = 40.0 (so that the 30.0-kg block is 40.0 cm above the floor) and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the 30.0-kg block is 20.0 cm above the floor (that is, when the spring is unstretched). Figure P7.73arrow_forward

Now the reverse: Describe a system for which kinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not.arrow_forwardA 44.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.750-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 1.50 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. a. Does the act of throwing the ball cause the child to move? If so, what are the speed and the direction of his motion with respect to the Earth? b. What are the forces acting on the child when he throws the ball?arrow_forwardTwo gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.arrow_forward
- A tennis ball of mass mt is held just above a basketball of mass mb, as shown in Figure P8.22. With their centers vertically aligned, both are released from rest at the same moment so that the bottom of the basketball falls freely through a height h and strikes the floor. Assume an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down because the balls have separated a bit while falling. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. (a) To what height does the tennis ball rebound? (b) How do you account for the height in (a) being larger than h? Does that seem like a violation of conservation of energy? Figure P8.22arrow_forwardThe system shown in Figure P5.49 has an acceleration of magnitude 1.50 m/s2. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and incline is the same for both inclines. Find (a) the coefficient of kinetic friction and (b) the tension in the string.arrow_forwardA giant swing at an amusement park consists of a 365-kg uniform arm 10.0 m long, with two seats of negligible mass connected at the lower end of the arm (Fig. P8.53). (a) How far from the upper end is the center of mass of the arm? (b) The gravitational potential energy of the arm is the same as if all its mass were concentrated at the center of mass. If the arm is raised through a 45.0 angle, find the gravitational potential energy, where the zero level is taken to be 10.0 m below the axis, (c) The arm drops from rest from the position described in part (b).
