A hang glider and its pilot have a total mass equal to 134 kg. While executing a 360° turn, the glider moves in a circle with a 9 m radius. The glider's speed is 15 m/s. (Assume the glider turns along the horizontal plane.)
(a) What is the net force on the hang glider?(b) What is the acceleration?
An elevator weighing 15kN starts from rest and acquires an upward velocity of 3m/sec in a distance of 6m. If the acceleration is constant, what is the tension in the cable?
A car is moving along a horizontal
curve of radius 20 m, and coefficient of friction
between the road and wheels of the car is 0.25.
If acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², then its
maximum speed is.
