- A 60 kg object traveling at a speed of 80 m/s is suddenly brought to rest in a time of 0.4 seconds. What is the average force exerted on the object during this time? arrow_forwardTwo students are pushing crates across a frictionless floor. The crates are initially at rest. Bing applies a horizontal force of 13 N to his crate. Bob, who is taller than Bing, pushes on his crate at an angle of 53 degrees below the horizontal, also with a force of 13 N. Find the ratio of the masses of the two crates if Bing's crate is moving at twice the speed of Bob's crate after they have traveled a distance of 23.5 m across the floor?arrow_forwardA 91 kg janitor wearing running shoes is running across an ice rink at a speed of 3.2 m/s. They try to stop abruptly, but keep sliding across the surface of the ice. The ice exerts a frictional force of 13.4 N to slow them down. How far do they travel before halting to a stop?arrow_forward
- A student pushes a physics textbook of mass 1.15 kg across a table with a horizontal force of 5.48 Newtons. If the frictional force between the table and the textbook is 3.38 Newtons and the textbook was initially at rest, what is the speed of the textbook after 2.3 seconds? Remember to give your answer in metres per second and to at least 3 significant figures.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_forwardCorey, whose mass is 95 kg, stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator.

- A space probe of mass 5.00 x 104 kg is traveling at 1.10 x 104 m/s through deep space. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. The engine exerts a constant external force of 4.00 x 105 N, directed parallel to the displacement, which is 2.50 x 106 m. Determine the final velocity of the probe.arrow_forwardBank robbers have pushed a 1000 kg safe to a 2nd story floor-to-ceiling window. They plan to break the window, then lower the safe 3.0 m to their truck. Not being too clever, they stack up 500 kg of furniture and ie a rope over a pulley. Then they push a safe out the window. Acceleration was too large and the safe slammed on the truck with large velocity (6.1 m/s), breaking through the truck floor. Now the robbers decide that they learned their lesson. They plan to redo, and decide that the safe should not hit the truck with a velocity less than 1.5 m/s. a) What is the max acceleration that they can have in order to limit the impact velocity to 1.5 m/s? b) To limit a value, robbers plan to put cloth on the furniture to increase friction. What is the minimum coefficient of friction they need to do this to make this work?arrow_forwardA car of mass 1.2 103 kg is traveling east at a speed of 24 m/s along a horizontal roadway.

Determine the height to which she will travel before coming to rest.arrow_forwardA 80.0 kg mail bag hangs by a vertical rope 3.5 m long.

He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice.
