A student, along with her backpack on the floor next to her, is in an elevator that is accelerating upward with acceleration a. The student gives her backpack a quick kick at t = 0, imparting to it speed v and causing it to slide across the elevator floor. At time t, the backpack hits the opposite wall a distance L away from the student. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction k between the backpack and the elevator floor.arrow_forwardA weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale.

A hockey puck struck by a hockey stick is given an initial speed i in the positive x direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the puck is k. (a) Obtain an expression for the acceleration of the puck as it slides across the ice. (b) Use the result of part (a) to obtain an expression for the distance d the puck slides. The answer should be in terms of the variables k and g only.arrow_forwardA car is moving forward slowly and is speeding up. A student claims that the car exerts a force on itself or that the cars engine exerts a force on the car. (a) Argue that this idea cannot be accurate and that friction exerted by the road is the propulsive force on the car. Make your evidence and reasoning as persuasive as possible. (b) Is it static or kinetic friction? Suggestions: Consider a road covered with light gravel. Consider a sharp print of the tire tread on an asphalt road, obtained by coating the tread with dust.arrow_forward
