In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 85 kg, and that the magnitude of the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 *105 N.What are (a) the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely and (b) the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?
A crate of mass m is initially at rest at the highest point of an inclined plane which has a height of 5.28 m and makes an angle of A = 17.2° with respect to the horizontal. After it has been released, it is found to be traveling at v = 0.29 m/s a distance dafter the end of the inclined plane, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is tp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is f4r = 0.2.
A 1500 N block is in contact with a level plane whose coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.12. If the block is acted upon by a horizontal force of 250 N, what time, in seconds, will elapse before the block reaches a velocity of 14.5 m/s, starting from rest?
Sally wants to hang up some decorations on the side of her house, so she props up a ladder of length L = 3m against a wall at an angle of θ = 50° with respect to the horizontal. The ground is somewhat icy, where the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the ladder’s feet is µ = 0.55; while the wall of her house can be considered frictionless. If Sally has a mass of 60kg and the ladder has a mass of 80kg, what is the max distance that she can climb up the length of the ladder without it slipping? You may assume the ground is perfectly flat, and the wall is perpendicular to the ground.
A 85-kg man starts climbing a ladder that leans against a wall as shown in the diagram. If the ladder is 5 m long and weighs 10 kg, determine the normal reaction at the horizontal surface (in N) if the coefficient of friction is 0.25 at the top vertical surface and 0.4 at the bottom horizontal surface.
In the figure a 57 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.15 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.30 m from the fissure. The coefficient of static friction between hands and rock is μ1 = 0.35, and between boots and rock it is μ2 = 1.30. The climber adjusts the vertical distance h between hands and feet until the (identical) pull by the hands and push by the feet is the least that keeps him from slipping down the fissure. (He is on the verge of sliding.) (a) What is the least horizontal pull by the hands and push by the feet that will keep the climber stable? (b) What is the value of h?
A particle moves in a medium under the influence of a retarding force equal to mk(υ3+ a2υ), where k and a are constants. Show that for any value of the initial speed the particle will never move a distance greater than π/2kaand that the particle comes to rest only for t → ∞.
A crate of mass M is initially at rest at the highest point of an inclined plane, which has a height of 5.8 m and makes an angle of theta=27 degrees with respect to the horizontal. after letting go of the object call you notice it to be traveling at v=0.35 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the plane is up= 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is ur=0.2.

A block of mass m is initially at rest at the highest point of an inclined plane, which has a height of 5.1 m and has an angle of θ = 16° with respect to the horizontal.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. Find the distance, d, in meters.
At the scene of an accident, two traffic experts appear to determine which of the drivers was at fault considering that it was a highway where the speed limit is 80 km / h. The data collected in the field indicate that the vehicles stuck and skidded together a length of 25 m on the pavement whose dynamic friction coefficient is μk = 0.30. Considering that the masses of vehicles A and B are 2300 kg and 1500 kg, respectively, specify which of the cars was speeding at the moment of impact and by how much it exceeded the speed limit. Express your result in km / h for the purposes of the expertise.
A uniform density sheet of metal is cut into the shape of an isosceles triangle, which is oriented with the base at the bottom and a corner at the top.
