The skim board is 50 cm wide and 120 cm long, with an area of 0.60 m². Part A Draw a sketch of this situation. Part B If the person jumps onto the board on sand with a coefficient of friction of f=0.50, what force will resist the forward movement of the board [N]? Recall the friction force is the normal force times the coefficient of friction. Part C Now assume the person jumps onto the board on a 0.50 cm film of fresh water at 30°C. Use Newton's law of viscosity to estimate the force resisting the forward movement of the board.arrow_forwardCompressed air is used to fire a 48 g ball vertically upward from a 1.0-m-tall tube.

- Ⓒ Macmillan Learning A block of mass m = 6.23 kg is attached to a spring that is resting on a horizontal, frictionless table. The block is pushed into the spring, compressing it by 5.00 m, and is then released from rest. The spring begins to push the block back toward the equilibrium position at x = 0 m. The graph shows the component of the force (in newtons) exerted by the spring on the block versus the position of the block (in meters) relative to equilibrium. Use the graph to answer the questions. How much work W is done by the spring in pushing the block from its initial position at x = -5.00 m to x = 2.20 m? W = V = -59.04 Incorrect What is the speed of the block when t reaches x 2.20 m? 2.41 Incorrect Umax = What is the maximum speed max of the block? 3.63 J Incorrect m/s m/s 6 5. 4. 3. 2 ↓ L₁ -3. -4. -5. -6.
