Question
A 54.3 kg ice skater is moving at 4.03 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole. She then moves in a circle of radius 0.790 m around the pole.
(a) Determine the force exerted by the rope on her arms. Answer in Newtons (N)
(b) What is the ratio of this force to her weight?
-__________________________(force from part a / her weight)

Starting from rest and speeding up at a constant rate throughout the race, the cyclist covers the entire course in 60 s. The mass of the bicycle (including the rider) is 76 kg. Find Ff,net, the magnitude of the net force acting on the cyclist at the finish line.

The submarine's engine provides a constant propulsion force of F = 4.88 N. When the sub is in motion, it is subject to a viscous drag force exerted by the water. This force is proportional to the sub's speed; the proportionality factor is C = 1.26 kg/s. Assuming it starts from rest at t = 0.s, the speed v (t) of the submarine at a later timet is given by v (1) = (1 – e-Ctim) where e is the base of the natural logarithm. How much time has passed when the submarine's speed reaches 62% of its terminal value? t = What is the magnitude of the submarine's acceleration a at m/s2 this time? a = 16000arrow_forward
