Question
Running on a treadmill is slightly easier than running outside because there is no drag force to work against. Suppose a 60 kgkg runner completes a 5.0 kmkm race in 17 minutes.
A) Determine the drag force on the runner during the race. Suppose that the cross section area of the runner is 0.72 m2m2.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
B) What is this force as a fraction of the runner's weight?
Express your answer numerically.

- One of the complicating factors in analyzing motion is the presence of friction. It is difficult to isolate the effect of friction and to imagine what motion looks like without it. Newton's 2nd law of motion states that a force applied to a mass will cause an acceleration, f = ma. UNLESS THE PROBLEM STATES OTHERWISE, assume the experiments below are performed on a surface of smooth ice so that the effect of friction is negligible. 1) a. Imagine a cube-shaped mass of 100 kg. If two people push it to the right, one with a force of 150 N, and one with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience? b. Instead, if one person pushes to the right with a force of 150 N, and the second person pushed to the left with a force of 220 N, what acceleration should the cube experience?arrow_forwardCalculate the final speed of the 2.00-kg object that is pushed for d =25.0 m by the F = 50.0 N force on a level, frictionless floor (see the figure below). Assume the object starts from rest. V = ? 2 kg at rest $20° F d 2 kg 1) Calculate the final speed. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) Sarrow_forward1. The block in the figure to the right remains motionless against the wall because of an applied force and the force of static friction between the block and the wall. The coefficient of static friction is μs. Which equation correctly describes the magnitude of the frictional force between the wall and the block?a. Ff=(mgcosθ)μsb. Ff= (Fasinθ–mg) μsc.

- Problem 1 Not So Simultaneous = The positions of two masses, ma and mb, are described by the equations: a(t) 3A sin (4wt) and xb (t) = 2A sin (3wt). (a) Not including t = 0, what are the first three times that the masses will pass through their respective equilibrium positions simultaneously? (b) Find the two expressions that would describe each mass' velocity. What were the velocities at the times you found in part a?arrow_forward#1) Use Newton's Second Law Analysis to solve the following problem. , 1 - sketch and FBDs, 2 - write 0 down force equations in all dimensions, and 3 solve for requested variable. Two boxes, connected by a rope, are at equilibrium (need to consider friction on the incline). Box B is not touching the incline, it is just hanging from the outer rim of the pulley. Assume the magnitude of the tension force is greater than the magnitude of the wx component of mass A for part A (this should help you determine the direction of the static friction force). Draw the FBD for both box A and box B separately. Use N, for Normal Force, use fs for the static friction force, use proper variations of wx and wy for the weight components (two masses here, so they should have different labels not just wx and wy for both, you need to be able to tell them apart), and use T for the Tension Force. Somewhere in your work show what your variations of the magnitudes of wx and wy are in terms of the masses and g…arrow_forwardNiloarrow_forward

- d. Force is a vector quantity and thus has both a magnitude and a direction. A vector can be represented graphically by a line drawn to scale in the direction of the line of action of the force.
