- 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 0.075 kg toy airplane is tied to the ceiling with a string. When the airplane's motor is started, it moves with a constant speed of 4.47 m/s in a horizontal circle of radius 1.28 m, as illustrated in Figure 6-40 (image attached). Find (a) the angle the string makes with the vertical and (b) the tension in the string.arrow_forwardYou and your family take a road trip on a long holiday weekend. In a certain section of the trip where the road is particularly uneven, the car goes over a bump that is curved downward with a radius of 16.0 m. See diagram below. The mass of the car and its passengers is 1200 kg. (a) When the car is at the highest point of the bump its speed is 7.05 m/s. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the road on the car at this highest point. magnitude direction N |---Select-- v (b) If the speed at the highest point is above a certain maximum value the car will lose contact with the road. Calculate this maximum speed. m/sarrow_forward
- An object of mass 3 kg moves towards the negative x axis with a constant speed of 8 m/s and the coefficient of kinetic friction of the object with the ground is 0.39, so the value of the net force on the box is:arrow_forwardThe drawing shows a baggage carousel at an airport. Your suitcase has not slid all the way down the slope and is going around at a constant speed on a circle ((r = 8.90 m) as the carousel turns. The coefficient of static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is 0.640, and the angle in the drawing is 5.90°. How much time is required for your suitcase to go around once? Assumme that the static friction between the suitcase and the carousel is at its maximum.arrow_forwardA child places a picnic basket on the outer rim of a merrygo- round that has a radius of 4.6 m and revolves once every 30 s. (a) What is the speed of a point on that rim? (b)What is the lowest value of the coefficient of static friction between basket and merry-go-round that allows the basket to stay on the ride?arrow_forward
- The curved section of a horizontal highway is a circular unbanked arc of radius 520 m. If the coefficient of static friction between this roadway and typical tires is 0.30, what would be the maximum safe driving speed for this horizontal curved section of highway?arrow_forwardA cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round in an amusement park, at a radius of 5.4 m from the center of the ride.Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 6.0 s.What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding (or the cat clinging with its claws)?arrow_forwardYou are sitting on the edge of a horizontal disk (for example, a playground merry-go-round) that has radius 3.00 mm and is rotating at a constant rate about a vertical axis. The coefficient of static friction between you and the surface of the disk is 0.430. a) What is the minimum time for one revolution of the disk if you are not to slide off? b) Your friend's weight is half yours. If the coefficient of static friction for him is the same as for you, what is the minimum time for one revolution if he is not to slide off?arrow_forward
- Your answer is partially correct. Flying Circus of Physics A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1000 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill of radius 23 m, its speed is not changing. (a) At the top of the hill, what is the normal force (using the negative sign for the downward direction) FN on the car from the track if the car's speed is v = 7.8 m/s? (b) What is FN if v = 20 m/s?

The passing air exerts a negative lift FL downward on the car. If the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the track is 0.75 and if the car is on the verge of sliding out of the turn when its speed is 28.6 m/s, what is the magnitude of the negative lift acting downward on the car?arrow_forwardIn the figure, a car is driven at constant speed over a circular hill and then into a circular valley with the same radius. At the top of the hill, the normal force on the driver from the car seat is 0. The driver's mass is 74.0 kg. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the driver from the seat when the car passes through the bottom of the valley?arrow_forward
