A block is given an initial speed of 4.8 m/sm/s up the 29 ∘
1) How far up the plane will it go?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
2)How much time elapses before it returns to its starting point? Ignore friction. Caption: Block on inclined plane.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
A cord connected at one end to a block which can slide on an inclined plane has its other end wrapped around a cylinder resting in a depression at the top of the plane as shown in (Figure 1).
a)Determine the speed of the block after it has traveled 1.30m along the plane, starting from rest. Assume there is no friction.
b)Determine the speed of the block after it has traveled 1.30 m along the plane, starting from rest. Assume the coefficient of friction between all surfaces is μ= 0.0370. Since the block is much lighter than the cylinder, ignore tension in the string when calculating the normal force on the cylinder. Do not ignore tension in the string when calculating the net torque (including friction) on the cylinder.
A 1500 kg car traveling at 15 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure(Figure 1). The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll.
What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the other side of the valley?

- Two kids decided to play with their toys, balls. The first kid is on the ground (0.00 meter), whereas the second kid is on top of a 10.00-meter tall building. The second kid threw his ball at the same time that the first kid throws another ball upward. At the time that the first kid’s ball reaches its maximum height, the two balls will collide. iii) If the two balls experienced inelastic collision, compute for the time it will take for the two balls to reach the ground (given that their starting speed is 1/2√g(10.00m) ).arrow_forwardPlease can you help me with these questions? 1) A massive space freighter wants to accelerate at 1g. It takes time for the rocket engines to rev up, and turn up to their desired power. The freighter starts from rest, and its acceleration (until it reaches 1g) is: "refer to the picture". The captain wants to reach 1g at time t = T. What must A be, to satisfy a(T) = 1g? 2) The desired final acceleration is now 4g, with a corresponding value for A. Recall the equation in the picture. Acceleration feels like a weight, and a rapid change in acceleration feels like a rapid change in weight. You don't want a too rapid change in weight -- the derivative a'(t) shouldn't be too great. Therefore find T (in seconds) such that the maximum value of a'(t) is 1/80 m/s3. 3) Now, A = 0.6 and T = 2800 seconds. The freighter begins at rest and reaches the desired acceleration in time T. Now calculate and answer v(T) in m/s. Thank you.arrow_forwardYou push a 80-kg file cabinet to the right on a frictionless horizontal surface with a force of 175 N from rest, the cabinet moves a distance of 12 m. What is the final speed of the cabinet, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forward

- After the collision, the second cart eventually experiences a ramp, which it traverses with no frictional losses. The graph below shows the speed v of the second cart as a function of time t for the next 5.0 s, where t = 0 is now the instant at which the carts separate. a) Calculate the acceleration of the cart at t = 3.0 s. b) State whether the ramp goes up or down and calculate the maximum elevation (above or below the initial height) reached by the second cart on the ramp during the 5.0 s interval after the collision. (HINT: You will need to use the concept of Energy Conservation).arrow_forwardA student releases a 3.9kg cart from the top of ramp and starts a stopwatch. The length from the front of the cart to the end of the ramp and the distance from the end of the ramp to the stopper are shown.
