An 80.0-kg passenger in an SUV traveling at 1.00103km/h is wearing a seat belt. The driver slams on the brakes and the SUV stops in 45.0 m. Find the force of the seat belt on the passenger.
A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 400.0 N. (Air resistance is analogous to air fiction. It always opposes the motion of an object.) What is the magnitude of the force that motorcycle exerts backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if the mass of the motorcycle with rider is 245 kg?
A 120-kg astronaut is riding in a rocket sled that is sliding along an inclined plane. The sled has a horizontal component of acceleration of 5.0m/s2 and a downward component of 3.8m/s2 . Calculate the magnitude of the force on the rider by the sled. (Hint: Remember that gravitational acceleration must be considered.)
A motorcycle and rider have a total mass equal to 300 kg. The rider applies the brakes, causing the motorcycle to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s2. What is the net force on the motorcycle?
A runaway piano starts from rest and slides down a 20.0 frictionless incline 5.00 m in length. a. Draw a free-body diagram of the piano. b. What is the acceleration of the piano? c. What is the speed of the piano at the bottom of the incline?
Integrated Concepts When starting a foot race, a 70.0-kg sprinter exerts an average force of 650 N backward on the ground for 0.800 s. (a) What is his final speed? (b) How far does he travel?
A runner pushes against the track, as shown. (a) Provide a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the runner. (Hint: Place all forces at the center of his body, and include his weight.) (b) Give a revised diagram showing the xy -component form. (credit: modification of work by “Greenwich Photography”/Flicke)
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.2010-5Nstraight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.50010-6Non the flea while the flea is still in contact with the ground. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if Its mass is 6.0010-7kg . Do not neglect the gravitational force.
A woman was transporting an open box of cupcakes to a school party. The car in front of her stopped suddenly; she applied her brakes immediately. She was wearing her seat belt and suffered no physical harm (just a great deal of embarrassment), but the cupcakes flew into the dashboard and became “smushcakes.” Explain what happened.
Jogging on hard surfaces with insufficiently padded shoes produces large forces in the feet and legs. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force needed to stop the downward motion of a jogger's leg, if his leg has a mass of 13.0 kg, a speed of 6.00 m/s, and stops in a distance of 1.50 cm. (Be certain to include the weight of the 75.0-kg jogger's body.) (b) Compare this force with the weight of the jogger.
