Chapter 5, Problem 37AP
A black aluminum glider floats on a film of air above a level aluminum air track. Aluminum feels essentially no force in a magnetic field, and air resistance is negligible. A strong magnet is attached to the top of the glider, forming a total mass of 240 g. A piece of scrap iron attached to one end stop on the track attracts the magnet with a force of 0.823 N when the iron and the magnet are separated by 2.50 cm. (a) Find the acceleration of the glider at this instant. (b) The scrap iron is now attached to another green glider, forming total mass 120 g. Find the acceleration of each glider when the gliders are simultaneously released at 2.50-cm separation.

It is autumn. You look outside a window and see a maple leaf falling face down, in a straight vertical line. You estimate the speed of the leaf to be 25.77 cm/s.
You then pick up the leaf and do measurements. It has a mass of 2.76 g and a cross sectional area of 76 square cm. You measure the density of air to
be 1.298 kg m-³.
What is the drag coefficient between the leaf and the air? (numerical value only)
Number
(Hint: For an object to fall with constant speed, it must be at 'terminal velocity'.)

The frictional resistance to the car motion is 1/200 of its weight.

Neglecting friction, determine the reactions on each pair of supports.arrow_forwardThe seed pods of maple trees, also known as "helicopter seeds," spin as they fall, generating a leading edge vortex at the outer edge of each wing-like seed pod. This effect, similar to the vortices generated by hummingbird wings, can generate a sufficient lift force to keep the seed floating in air, allowing it to be dispersed by the wind. The figure below shows a pair of maple seeds L = 3.40 cm in length, with an angle of 70.0⁰ separating the seeds, as shown.
