BIO Woodpecker Concussion Prevention A woodpecker exerts a 230-N force on a tree trunk during its effort to find hidden insects to eat If its head has an effective mass of 0.025 kg, what is the acceleration of its head away from the tree trunk? The woodpecker’s skull has a special spongy bone plate to protect itself against brain concussions.

- Review. A magician pulls a tablecloth from under a 200-g mug located 30.0 cm from the edge of the cloth. The cloth exerts a friction force of 0.100 N on the mug, and the cloth is pulled with a constant acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. How far does the mug move relative to the horizontal tabletop before the cloth is completely out from under it? Note that the cloth must move more than 30 cm relative to the tabletop during the process.arrow_forwardConstruct Your Own Problem Consider an astronaut in deep space cut free from her space ship and needing to get back to it. The astronaut has a few packages that she can throw away to move herself toward the ship. Construct a problem in which you calculate the time it takes her to get back by throwing all the packages at one time compared to throwing them one at a time. Among the things to be considered are the masses involved, the force she can exert on the packages through some distance, and the distance to the ship.arrow_forwardA magician pulls a tablecloth from under a 200-g mug located 30.0 cm from the edge of the cloth.

- Jogging on hard surfaces with insufficiently padded shoes produces large forces in the feet and legs. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force needed to stop the downward motion of a jogger's leg, if his leg has a mass of 13.0 kg, a speed of 6.00 m/s, and stops in a distance of 1.50 cm. (Be certain to include the weight of the 75.0-kg jogger's body.) (b) Compare this force with the weight of the jogger.arrow_forwardFigure P7.45 shows a picture of American astronaut Clay Anderson experiencing weightlessness on board the International Space Station. a. Most people have the misconception that a person in a spacecraft is weightless because he or she is no longer affected by gravity. Show that this premise cannot be true by computing the gravitational field of the Earth at an altitude of 200 km the typical altitude of a spacecraft in orbit. Compare this result with the gravitational field on the surface of the Earth. b. Why would astronauts in orbit experience weightlessness even if they are experiencing a gravitational field (and therefore a gravitational force)?arrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m. (c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.arrow_forward
- What is the direction of the force exerted by the car on the passenger as the car goes over the top of the amusement ride pictured in Figure 6.33 under the following circumstances: (a) The car goes over the top at such a speed that the gravitational force is the only force acting? (b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?arrow_forwardEric is driving his scooter to soccer practice. his speed is 35 mph. splat! A mouth smashes against the windshield and bug "guts" are everywhere. gross! which scenario is true? A. The windshield exert a greater force on the bug and the bug exerts on the windshield b. the bug exerts a greater force on the windshield than the windshield exerts on the bug. c. the force that the windshield exerts on the bug and the force that the bug exerts on the windshield are the same magnitude.arrow_forward1. Steve pushes a box across a level floor with a constant horizontal force. This causes the box to move at a constant speed, v. The force from Steve: a. has the same magnitude as the weight of the box. b. equals the sum of the box's weight and the total frictional forces opposing the box's motion. c. has the same magnitude as the frictional forces opposing the box's motion. d. has greater magnitude than the frictional forces opposing the box's motion. e. has greater magnitude than the weight of the box. 2. Steve now doubles the force he applies to th box from the previous problem. Which of the following is true? a. The box will move at double the previous speed. b. The box will move with a continuously increasing speed. c. The box will increase speed for a while, then move at a constant speed. d. The box will continue to move at the same speed for a while, then continually increase speed. e. The box will move at a greater constant speed, but not necessarily double the speed.arrow_forward
- PROBLEMI The 260kg crate shown in the figure rests on a horizontal surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 025. If the crate is subjected to a 400 N towing force as shown determine the velocity of the crate in 5 s starting from rest PROBLEM 2 PROBLEM 3 The 80 kg block A shown in Figure is released from rest If the masses of the puleys and the cord are neglected determine the speed of the 12 kg block B in 38 m₁ P = 400 N IIA 8 = 30° 30° Consider the masses m, 20 kg and m, 18 kg in the system represented by the figure below.
