When you take off in a jet aircraft, there is a sensation of being pushed back into the seat. Explain why you move backward in the seat—is there really a force backward on you? (The same reasoning explains whiplash injuries, in which the head is apparently thrown backward.)
(a) If half of the weight of a small 1.00103-kgutility truck is supported by its two drive wheels, s hat is the maximum acceleration it can achieve on dry concrete? (b) Will a metal cabinet lying on the wooden bed of the truck slip if it accelerates at this rate? (c) Solve both problems assuming the truck has four-steel drive.
Two forces are applied to acar in an effort to move it,as shown in Figure P4.12.(a) What is the resultantvector of these two forces?(b) If the car has a massof 3 000 kg, what accelerationdoes it have? Ignorefriction.
Two blocks each of mass m = 3.50 kg are fastened to thetop of an elevator as in Figure P4.56. (a) If the elevator has anupward acceleration a = 1.60 m/s2, find the tensions T1 andT2 in the upper and lower strings. (b) If the strings can withstanda maximum tension of 85.0 N, what maximum accelerationcan the elevator have before the upper string breaks?
You are a 51.5 kg swimmer, swimming with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s. You decide to coast until you come to rest. If you slow down with a constant acceleration and stop after coasting 2.20 m, what was the force exerted on your body by the water?
World-class sprinters can accelerate out of starting blocks with an acceleration that is nearly horizontal and has magnitude 15m/s². How much horizontal force must a 55 kg sprinter exert on the starting blocks during a start to produce this acceleration?
The human head can be considered as a3.3-kg cranium protecting a 1.5-kg brain, with a small amount ofcerebrospinal fluid that allows the brain to move a little bit insidethe cranium. Suppose a cranium at rest is subjected to a force of2800 N for 6.5 ms in the forward direction. (a) What is the finalspeed of the cranium? (b) The back of the cranium then collideswith the back of the brain, which is still at rest, and the two movetogether. What is their final speed? (c) The cranium now hits anexternal object and suddenly comes to rest, but the brain continues to move forward. If the front of the brain interacts with thefront of the cranium over a period of 15 ms before coming to rest,what average force is exerted on the brain by the cranium?
A 16-year-old employee working for Southern Virginia College's (SVC) bookstore during the summer months is helping prepare for Fall salesIt's a good way to make extra money, and the teen is saving for a car. Books from one supplier are shipped to the SVC bookstore in large crates equipped with rope handles on all sides. On one occasion, the teen momentarily pulled with a force of 669 N at an angle of 35.3above the horizontal to accelerate a 124-kg crate of books. The coefficient of friction between the crates and the vinyl floor is 0.588. Determine the acceleration experienced by the crate in m / (s ^ 2) Use the approximation g = 10; m / (s ^ 2)
A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "30.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of 30.0 N without breaking. What is the weight of the heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically, when the line is reeled in (a) at constant speed and (b) with an acceleration whose magnitude is 2.16 m/s2?
If a man weighs 860 N on the Earth, what would he weigh on Jupiter, where the free-fall acceleration is 25.9 m/s2?
What horizontal force must be applied to a large block of mass M shown in Figure P5.49 so that the tan blocks remain stationary relative to M? Assume all surfaces and the pulley are frictionless. Notice that the force exerted by the string accelerates m2.
The fire alarm goes off, and a 97-kg fireman slides 3.0 m down a poleto the ground floor. Suppose the fireman starts from rest, slides withconstant acceleration, and reaches the ground floor in 1.2 s. What wasthe upward force F>exerted by the pole on the fireman?
