A block with a carpeted underside is pulled by a wheeled cart attached by a piece of cordage. If the two traveled at a constant acceleration down an inclined ramp (with a known angle), how would one go about finding mu s and mu k if values of position and time were recorded?
In this Problem deal with the batted baseball, having initial velocity 160 ft/s and air resistance coefficient c = 0.0025. Find (to the nearest degree) the initial inclination that maximizes the range. If there were no air resistance it would be exactly 45., but your answer should be less than 45. .
Neglecting air resistance, why would a ball projected horizontally and another ball dropped at the same time from the same initial height hit the ground together?
Check Your Understanding How would the speed and acceleration of a radiation-propelled spacecraft be affected as it moved farther from the Sun on an interplanetary space flight?
In the absence of air resistance, if a ball is thrown vertically upward with a certain initial speed, on returning to its original level it will have the same speed. When air resistance is a factor, will the ball be moving faster, the same, or more slowly than its throwing speed when it gets back to the same level? Why? (Physicists often use a “principle of exaggeration” to help them analyze a problem. Consider the exaggerated case of a feather, not a ball, because the effect of air resistance on the feather is more pronounced and therefore easier to visualize.)
