Chapter 4, Problem 88GP
* A ledge on a building is 20 m above the ground. A taut rope attached to a 4.0-kg can of paint sitting on the ledge passes up over a pulley and straight down to a 3.0-kg can of nails on the ground. If the can of paint is accidentally knocked off the ledge, what time interval does a carpenter have to catch the can of paint before it smashes on the ground?

- In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, = 0.2 (d) vi =2 m/s, k = 0.8arrow_forwardA block of mass m is dropped from the fourth floor of an office building and subsequently hits the ground with speed v.

Unfortunately for him, he misjudges his swing and instead slams into a tree when the vine is completely vertical. His impact with the tree lasts 0.02 seconds, and Jane is not impressed. *You can assume he puts a constant force on the tree as he crashes*To make matters worse, after slamming to a stop, he slides down the tree with a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.8 m/s2. What is Tarzan's velocity right before he slams into the tree? ROUND THIS VALUE TO THE HUNDREDTHS PLACE AND USE THIS ROUNDED VALUE FOR THE REST OF THE PROBLEM!
