Calculate the speed of a 2.1 x 10^3-kg car at the bottom of a driveway if it starts from rest at the top of the 5.0-m-long driveway that is inclined at 20.0° with the horizontal. An average friction force of 4.0 x 10^3 N retards the motion. (Report answer to 2SF; unit: m/s)
Use the conservation of energy todetermine the minimum vertical speed that anobject must have at the surface of the earth sothat its speed at infinity would be zero. Thisspeed is known as the escape speed of theearth. For this problem, you should assume thatthe gravitational interaction with the earth isthe only interaction which the object feels.
A box is given a push so that it slides across the floor. How far will it go, given that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.18 and the push imparts an initial speed of 3.9 m/sm/s ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A block of ice is released at the top of a 30 degree inclined 10 meter above the ground. If the slight melting of the ice renders the surface frictionless, determine its velocity block at the foot of the incline. The correct answer is 14 m/s.
A 1,801-kg car starts from rest at the top of a driveway 6.14 m long that is sloped at an angle of 31 degrees with the horizontal. If an average friction force of 3,386 N impedes the motion of the car, find the speed (in m/s) of the car at the bottom of the driveway.
A block is given an initial velocity of 5.00 m/s up a frictionless incline of angle of 20.0°. How far up the incline does the block slide before coming to rest? Answer: 3.73 m
a mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 kph on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the morher observes that they are approaching a steep descrnt. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 15 N. Knowing the coefficient of frivtion between the mother and the ground is 0.2, the mass of the mother is 62 kg and the angle of the rope does not change, determine the acceleration of the mother, the time reuired dor the mother's speed to be cut in half, and the distance traveled.
The ultralight plane Gossamer Condor in 1977 was the fi rstto complete the Kremer Prize fi gure-eight course under humanpower. Its wingspan was 29 m, with Cav = 2.3 m and atotal mass of 95 kg. The drag coeffi cient was approximately0.05. The pilot was able to deliver 1/4hp to propel the plane.Assuming two-dimensional fl ow at sea level, estimate(a) the cruise speed attained, (b) the lift coeffi cient, and(c) the horsepower required to achieve a speed of 15 kn.
