The masses of the javelin, discus, and shot are 0.80 kg, 2.0 kg, and 7.2 kg, respectively, and record throws in the corresponding track events are about 98 m, 74 m, and 23 m, respectively. Neglecting air resistance, (a) calculate the minimum initial kinetic energies that would produce these throws, and (b) estimate the average force exerted on each object during the throw, assuming the force acts over a distance of 2.0 m. (c) Do your results suggest that air resistance is an important factor?
A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a curved waterslide (Fig. P5.46). She is launched from a height h/5 into the pool. (a) Is mechanical energy conserved? Why? (b) Give the gravitational potential energy associated with the child and her kinetic energy in terms of mgh at the following positions: the top of the waterslide, the launching point, and the point where she lands in the pool. (c) Determine her initial speed V0 at the launch point in terms of g and h. (d) Determine her maximum airborne height ymax in terms of h, g, and the horizontal speed at that height, v0x. (e) Use the x-component of the answer to part (c) to eliminate from the answer to part (d), giving the height ymax in terms of g, h, and the launch angle . (f) Would your answers be the same if the waterslide were not frictionless? Explain. Figure P5.46
An open box slides across a frictionless, icy surface of a frozen lake. What happens to the speed of the box as water from a rain shower falls vertically downward into the box? Explain.
Which of the following is TRUE to an object thrown straight upward? A. The object’s kinetic energy decreases and is transformed to potential energy. B. The object is decreasing its speed until its kinetic energy becomes zero. C . Neither A nor B D. Both A and B
Sam, whose mass is 80 kgkg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 160 NN and a coefficient of kinetic friction on snow of 0.10.1. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 15 ss . What is Sam's top speed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A hockey puck is given an initial speed of 4.8 m/s If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.05, how far does the puck slide before coming to rest? Solve this problem using conservation of energy.Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Professional baseball pitchers deliver pitches that can reach the blazing speed of 100 mph (miles per hour). A local team has drafted an up-and-coming, left-handed pitcher who can consistently pitch at 41.12 m/s (92.00 mph). Assuming a pitched ball has a mass of 0.1422 kg and has this speed just before a batter makes contact with it, how much kinetic energy does the ball have? Kball= Recall that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81m/s2. How high would the ball need to be dropped from to attain the same energy as it did when it was pitched (neglect air resistance)? hball=
A 400. kg cart slides along the track shown in the image, beginning at point A. It starts from rest and experiences no friction or air resistance. Once it gets to the point marked B, what is the cart’s speed AND the value of the normal force? Because of HuskyCT's limitations with multiple answer questions, please enter your two answers as numbers only, and with exactly 2 significant figures each. The cart has a speed of ----- ??m/s. The value of the normal force at point B is ------- ?N.
Hi, I don't know if I was given enough or have too much uneccesary information to solve this problem, but here it is. An 80 kg guy is running on a flat surface at a velocity of 10 m/s. He gets on a 4 kg skateboard that is sitting at rest at the top of a 45-degree inclined plane (see drawing). If the time taken to travel from point A to point B is 6 seconds and only gravitational acceleration is acting on the guy/skateboard unit, find a) the velocity of the unit when t = 3 seconds; b) the height h at point A. I'm also not sure which part should be solved first. Thanks.
An apple falls to the ground. During the fall, does the earth's gravity do positive, negative or zero work on the apple? Explain. As this apple falls towards the ground, its momentum does not remain constant. It increases (since the velocity of the apple increases). Does it mean the law of momentum conservation is violated?
In the Marvel comic series X-Men, Colossus would sometimes throw Wolverine toward an enemy in what was called a fastball special. Suppose Colossus throws Wolverine at an angle of θ = 31.5° with respect to the ground (see figure below). Wolverine is d = 2.08 m above the ground when he is released, and he leaves Colossus's hands with a speed of vi = 18.2 m/s. (a) Using conservation of energy and the components of the initial velocity, find the maximum height attained by Wolverine during the flight. _____m (b) Using conservation of energy, what is Wolverine's speed the instant before he hits the ground? ______ m/s
If the velocity of a body becomes two times its initial velocity, its kinetic energy becomes n times its initial kinetic energy. What is the value of n? A) 4 B) 6 C) 1/2 D) 3
