The angle of the hill's slope measured upward from the horizontal is 21.0°. What is the acceleration of the rider? m/s? Is the acceleration greater, less than, or equal to your result if a more massive rider uses the same sled on the same hill? Explain. O Greater than: the acceleration scales according to the mass of the rider. O Greater than: the acceleration scales according to the ratio of the masses of the rider and sled. O Less than: the acceleration scales according to the ratio of the masses of the rider and sled. O Equal to: the acceleration is independent of mass. O Equal to: the acceleration scales according to the mass of the sled.

If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
A 3.00-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t2 1 and y = 3t3 + 2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.00 s.
An object of mass m is dropped al t = 0 from the roof of a building of height h.

Express t in terms of g and h. (b) Find an expression in terms of m and F for the acceleration ax of the object in the horizontal direction (taken as the positive x direction).

Why is the following situation impossible? A 1.30-kg toaster is not plugged in. The coefficient of static friction between the toaster and a horizontal countertop is 0.350. To make the toaster start moving, you carelessly pull on its electric cord. Unfortunately, the cord has become frayed from your previous similar actions and will break if the tension in the cord exceeds 4.00 N. By pulling on the cord at a particular angle, you successfully start the toaster moving without breaking the cord.

After Successfully summiting a mountain, 72.0 kg climber is standing on a slope of angle 28 degrees, The frictional coefficients between her and the mountain slope are us=0.770, uk=0.280. a) At first, the climber does not exert a push on the ground to get herself moving, and therefore she remains stationary. What is the force of friction that she experiences in this situation? b) Then, the climber pushes off down the slope, with sufficient force to overcome static friction. What is the magnitude of that force? c) Once the climber has done the initial push off, she is no longer pushing, but begins sliding down the slope under her own weight. Draw a free body diagram for that situation. d) Find the climber's weight, the normal force, and the force of friction she experiences while moving
