You decided to go to SM to buy a new pair of shoes. Upon picking the new pair of shoes you tried them on to see if it fits and with your wittiness you thought about pranking the sales lady standing beside you so you ran towards the exit door but manong guard is alert so he immediately closes the glass door of the exit before you reach it. So you tried to stop, what should be the coefficient of friction of the new pair of shoes and the floor in order for you not to slip and not to slam your face on the glass door if you have a slipping acceleration of 3m/s^2 and a body mass of 6kg.
Running on a treadmill is slightly easier than running outside because there is no drag force to work against. Suppose a 60 kg runner completes a 5.0 km race in 15 minutes.
Determine the drag force on the runner during the race. Suppose that the cross-section area of the runner is 0.72 m2.
What is this force as a fraction of the runner's weight?
A 70 kg bicyclist is riding her 15 kg bicycle downhill on a road with a slope of 80without pedaling or braking. The bicyclist has a frontal area of 0.45 m2and a dragcoefficient of 1.1 in the upright position, and a frontal area of 0.4 m2and a dragcoefficient of 0.9 in a racing position. If the downhill speed of the bicyclist(terminal velocity) can be determined when the total force acting on the “body” inthe direction of movement is equal to zero, determine the percentage of downspeed that she can be increased when she is in a racing position. Air temperatureis 150C and disregarding the rolling resistance and friction at the bearing.

Mountaineers often use a rope to lower themselves down the face of a cliff (this is called rappelling). They do this with their body nearly horizontal and their feet pushing against the cliff (Figure 1). Suppose that an 77.6-kg climber, who is 1.97 m tall and has a center of gravity 1.1 m from his feet, rappels down a vertical cliff with his body raised 41.6° above the horizontal. He holds the rope 1.56 m from his feet, and it makes a 24.4° angle with the cliff face. Express your answer using two significant figures. ΑΣΦ 圈] ?

Quickly, he ties a rope to a rock of mA = 405 kg and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure below). If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is H=0.348, and the mass of the hiker is ma= 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mc, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. (ANS: 70.8 kg)arrow_forward

However, when the ski is moved along the snow, the rubbing warms and partially melts the snow, reducing the coefficient of kinetic friction and promoting sliding.Waxing the ski makes it water repellent and reduces friction with the resulting layer of water. A magazine reports that a new type of plastic ski is especially water repellent and that, on a gentle 200 m slope in the Alps, a skier reduced his top-to-bottom time from 61 s with standard skis to 42 s with the new skis. Determine the magnitude of his average acceleration with (a) the standard skis and (b) the new skis.

- A wax is applied to the bottom surface of cross country skis to achieve a good balance between traction when the skier needs to climb a small hill and speed on downhill slopes. The coefficients of both static and kinetic friction between the waxed surface and snow increase as temperature decreases. If the temperature rises during the day and the skier begins to slip backward on hills they should re-wax their skis with what type of wax? One where the coefficient of static friction is larger. One where the coefficient of kinetic friction is larger. One where the coefficient of kinetic friction is smaller. One where the coefficient of static friction is smaller.arrow_forwardCallie is running a 400 m race around a 400 m track.
