A 132 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with
respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it
slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
crate and the ramp is µs = 0.24. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s²) of the crate?

- A cart of mass mA = 7.3 kg is pushed forward by a horizontal force F. A block of mass mB = 0.54 kg is in turn pushed forward by the cart. If the cart and the block accelerate forward fast enough, the friction force between the block and the cart would keep the block suspended above the floor without falling down. Given g = 9.8 m/s2 and the static friction coefficient μs = 0.8 between the block and the cart; the floor is horizontal and there is no friction between the cart and the floor. Calculate the minimal force F on the cart that would keep the block from falling down.arrow_forwardA small block has a horizontal velocity of 4.00 m/s as it slides off the edge of a table. The table is a vertical distance of 0.85 m above the floor. If g = 9.80 m/s2, how far does the block travel horizontally while it is in the air?arrow_forwardIn a movie, a stuntman places himself on the vertical front of a truck as the truck accelerates. The coefficient of static friction between the stuntman and the truck is 0.370. The stuntman is not standing on anything but can “stick” to the front of the truck as long as the truck continues to accelerate. What minimum forward acceleration will keep the stuntman on the front of the truck?arrow_forward
- A hot air balloon begins to rise from rest. The lift on the balloon due to the buoyant force is 5000 N. In order to minimize the time until the passenger is reunited with their cell phone, what should the horizontal component of the passenger’s velocity be so that they land directly on their phone which is initially 3 m away in the horizontal direction?arrow_forwardThe 1.0 kg block in the figure is tied to the wall with a rope. It sits on top of the 2.0 kg block. The lower block is pulled to the right with a tension force of 20 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction at both the lower and upper surfaces of the 2.0 kg block is μkμk = 0.42. What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forwardThe brakes on a big truck fail and it is forced to use a runaway truck lane. The lane is perfectly horizontal, and full of deep gravel, creating a coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the gravel of 0.80. The truck enters the lane at moving 35 m/s (about 80 mph). How far does the truck travel before it stops?arrow_forward
- A 34.8 kg child is sitting at the top of a slide, which is inclined at an angle of 55 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the child a quick push to get them moving, after which they slide down the incline without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide is μ s = 0.44. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) of the child?arrow_forwardA 6000 - kg spaceship ( initially at rest ) leaves the Earth's surface traveling upward and reaches a height of 10 km in 10 sec .

Postal regulations require that employees’ footwear must have a minimum coefficient of static friction of 0.5 on a specified tile surface. You are wearing athletic shoes for which you do not know the coefficient of static friction. In order to determine the coefficient, you imagine that there is an emergency and start running across the room. You have a co-worker time you, and find that you can begin at rest and move 4.23 m in 1.20 s. If you try to move faster than this, your feet slip. Assuming your acceleration is constant, does your footwear qualify for the postal regulation?arrow_forward
- The physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to "lift off" from the ground. A. A person's center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L. Find an expression for the person's maximum walking speed vmax Express your answer in terms of the variables L and appropriate constants. b.)Evaluate your expression for the maximum walking speed of a 70 kg person with a typical leg length of 70 cm . Give your answer in m/s. c.) Give your answer in mph.arrow_forwardA hockey puck slides with an initial speed of 56.7 m/s on a large frozen lake.
