Question
Chapter 6, Problem 31P
To determine
The state of the cart, that is, whether it remains stationary or starts moving when a ball falls vertically on the incline, which is at rest. The ball is covered with the hook side of the Velcro and the incline, with the loop side of the Velcro, due to which, the ball sticks to the incline. Also, represent the process with impulse-momentum bar charts.

- To give a pet hamster exercise, some people put the hamster in a ventilated ball andallow it roam around the house(Fig. P13.66). When a hamsteris in such a ball, it can cross atypical room in a few minutes.Estimate the total kinetic energyin the ball-hamster system. FIGURE P13.66 Problems 66 and 67arrow_forwardA 44.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.750-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 1.50 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. a. Does the act of throwing the ball cause the child to move? If so, what are the speed and the direction of his motion with respect to the Earth? b. What are the forces acting on the child when he throws the ball?arrow_forwardTwo children, with masses m1 = 35.0 kg and m2 = 43.0 kg, are swinging on a tire swing attached to a tree overhanging a pond. The mass of the tire is negligible. At the lowest point of the swinging motion, the tension in each of the three vertical 4.00-m-long chains supporting the swing is 275 N. a. What is the speed of the children at the lowest point of the swinging motion? b. What is the force exerted on each child by the tire at the lowest point of the swinging motion?arrow_forward
- Two blocks are free to slide along the frictionless, wooden track shown in Figure P8.19. The block of mass m1 = 5.00 kg is released from the position shown, at height h = 5.00 m above the flat part of the track. Protruding from its front end is the north pole of a strong magnet, which repels the north pole of an identical magnet embedded in the back end of the block of mass m2 = 10.0 kg, initially at rest. The two blocks never touch. Calculate the maximum height to which m1 rises after the elastic collision. Figure P8.19arrow_forwardReview. As shown in Figure P8.26, a light string that does not stretch changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over the edge of a table. The string connects m1, a 3.50-kg block originally at rest on the horizontal table at a height h = 1.20 m above the floor, to m2, a hanging 1.90-kg block originally a distance d = 0.900 m above the floor. Neither the surface of the table nor its edge exerts a force of kinetic friction. The blocks start to move from rest. The sliding block m1 is projected horizontally after reaching the edge of the table. The hanging block m2 stops without bouncing when it strikes the floor. Consider the two blocks plus the Earth as the system. (a) Find the speed at which m1 leaves the edge of the table. (b) Find the impact speed of m1 on the floor. (c) What is the shortest length of the string so that it does not go taut while m1 is in flight? (d) Is the energy of the system when it is released from rest equal to the energy of the system just before m1 strikes the ground? (e) Why or why not?

Given the coordinate system shown and that the mass of each ball is 0.150 kg, determine the gravitational force on the eight-ball due to the other two balls.arrow_forward
- During the lift off of a spacecraft, it gains speed and increases its kinetic energy immediately. What happens to the magnitude of the kinetic energy throughout the course of its motion away from this planet? a.) The kinetic energy is converted into Gravitational Potential Energy as the altitude also increases. b.) The Kinetic Energy stays the same until it exits the Earth's atomsphere. c.) There will be a negative change in the total gravitational potential energy. d.) There will be no effect to the magnitudes of both the kinetic and gravitational potential energy. If the Earth and an artificial satellite were put into an isolated system, where would the barycenter be located? a.) Near the artificial satellite. b.) Near the midpoint of the system c.) Near the body of the Earth (outside) d.) Inside the body of the Eartharrow_forwardA 2.0-kg pistol fires a 0.90-g bullet with a muzzle speed of 1000 m/s. The bullet then strikes a 10-kg wooden block resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block and the embedded bullet then slide across the surface a. What is the kinetic energy of the bullet as it travels toward the block? b. What is the speed of the "bullet + block" system immediately after the bullet is embedded in the block?arrow_forwardProblem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: Fnew = + Bex +3x4 where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from xɔ to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) Solution To determine the work done we apply the following W = dx X3B Evaluating the above, we get W = e for the limits from xj to xf substituting x1 and xy as the limits, the work done is expressed as | + B X1 - W = ( x15 - x25 )arrow_forward
