A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
A crate having mass 50.0 kg falls horizontally off the back of the flatbed truck, which is traveling at 100 km/h. Find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction between the road and crate if the crate slides 50 m on the road in coming to rest. The initial speed of the crate is the same as the truck, 100 km/h.
A skydiver is at an altitude of 1520 m. After 10.0 seconds of free fall, he opens his parachute and finds that the air resistance, FD , is given by the formula FD=bv , where bis a constant and vis the velocity. If b=0.750 , and the mass of the skydiver is 82.0 kg, first set up differential equations for the velocity and the position, and then find: (a) the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens, (b) the distance fallen before the parachute opens, (c) the terminal velocity after the parachute opens (find the limiting velocity), and (d) the time the skydiver is in the air after the parachute opens.
You are driving your car on a straight road with a coefficient of friction between the tires and the road of 0.55. A large piece of debris falls in front of your view and you immediate slam on the brakes, leaving a skid mark of 30.5 m (100-feet) long before coming to a stop. A policeman sees your car stopped on the road, looks at the skid mark, and gives you a ticket for traveling over the 13.4 m/s (30 mph) speed limit. Should you fight the speeding ticket in court?
There is an object with a mass of 2.6 kg that is free to move on a horizontal surface without any presences of friction. Initially, it's at rest and then starts moving under a net force of F =(3N)i^+(4N)j^. What's object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
A 10 kg object starts from rest and achieves a speed of 20 m/s in 10 s. How much force (in N) acted on the object?
As a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 17.0 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.45 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.N
A skier starts at rest at the top of a large hemisphericalhill (Fig. P7.63). Neglecting friction, show that the skier willleave the hill and become airborne at a distance h = R/3below the top of the hill. Hint: At this point, the normal forcegoes to zero.
A 20-Mg train is traveling at a speed of 50 m/s. But the driver noticed that the bridge300-m ahead is missing. At once, he pulls the break, thus applying a frictionalresistance of Ff = 1000 N. At the same time Super Botting pushes back the train witha force of Fs = [(123)d + 100] N, where d is the distance that the train travels before stopping.Determine the stopping distance d, and mention whether or not Superbotting wouldbe able to save the train.
A 800kg car and driver accelerates at rate of 35 m/s/s. What force is necessary to bring the car to a complete stop?
Q2: Jane, who weighs 500 N, must cross a river full of hungry crocodiles to save Tarzan, who weighs 700 N, from danger. She jumps (from rest) off a cliff hanging from the end of an 18 m long vine, Fig.length, Fig. 1(b). From the top of the cliff to the lowest point of the trajectory she descends 3.0 m. The vine will breakif the force exerted on it exceeds 650 N.(a) Show that she will not be able to reach Tarzan?(b) And determine the angle of rupture θ, with respect to vertical.(c) Using a rope strong enough to hold them both, Jane rescues Tarzan. What will be the speed of thetwo when Jane "grabs" him (assume Jane is strong enough to hold him)?(d) Is the energy conserved? If yes, justify, if no, calculate∆K/Ki and explain what happened to the energy.
A 800 kg car is traveling down a highway at 13.0 m/s when the driver notices a turtle in the middle of the road. Not wanting to strike the turtle, the driver applies her brakes, and her car skids to a stop in 18.0 m. To the nearest newton, what net force must act on the car? Hint: there are more than one way you could go about solving this problem.
