BIO A Leafhopper's Leap The motion of jumping insects is of interest not only to biologists, but also to those who design robots Figure 5-46 shows the speed versus time graph for two different takeoff jumps of a 19-mg green leafhopper as determined from high-speed videos. (a) What is the magnitude of the average net force acting on the leafhopper’s body during jump 1? (b) What is the ratio of the force found m part (a) to the leafhopper s weight? (c) Is the average force during jump 2 greater than, less than, or equal to the average force during jump 1? Explain

- An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.arrow_forwardA warehouse worker exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude 89.0 N on a 42.0 kg box that is initially at rest on the horizontal floor of the warehouse. When the box has moved a distance of 1.80 m, its speed is 1.00 m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor?

If the driver applies the brakes, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 7000N. If the car is moving at 20 m/s what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?arrow_forward

At the bottom of the waterslide, it then curves upwards by 1.0 m above the ground such that the person is consequently launched into the air. Ignoring friction, how fast is the person moving upon leaving the waterslide? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

- The 250-lb concrete block A is released from rest in the position shown and pulls the 400 lb log up the 30' ramp. Plot the velocity of the block as it hits the ground at B as a function of the coefficient of kinetic friction u, between the log and the ramp. Let ux vary between 0 and 1. Why does the computer not plot results for the entire range specified? 400lb 250lb A 30 deg 20' Hints: -- Model the system as a dependent motion analysis and derive acceleration equations in terms of the unknown quantities -- Use MATLAB to solve this system of equations (you'll need one equation for each unknown!) -- Define uk as a range in MATLAB from 0 to 0 in 0.01 increments -- Plot the function of the velocity for the block as it hits the groundarrow_forwardPRINTER VERSION 1 BACK NEXT Chapter 07, Problem 038 Z Your answer is partially correct. Try again. A 1.7 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface when a horizontal force in the positive direction of an x axis is applied to the block. The force is given by F (x) = (3.1 -x )i N, where x is in meters and the initial position of the block is x = 0. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the block as it passes through x = 2.6 m? (b) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block between x = 0 and x = 2.6 m?

The mug leaves the bartender's hand at an initial velocity of 2.8m/s. As the mug slides, it slows down due to the effect of friction between the mug and bar. The mug just comes to rest in the customer’s hand 1.0 m away from the bartender. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the frictional force acting on the mugarrow_forward
