Textbook Question
Chapter 6.1, Problem 6.1CE
CASE STUDY Skydiving Arguments
Take a moment to think about each student’s argument.
a. Avi argues that the air exerts a force on the skydivers. Does that argument seem possible? If so, how could air help the skydivers create the formation we see in Figure 6.1? As you formulate your answers to these questions, think about this key question: Why do skydivers use parachutes in the first place?
b. According to Shannon’s suggestion, the plane’s altitude is constantly decreasing so that it is always alongside the divers. Does this situation mean that the plane must be accelerating? If so, what is that acceleration, and what sensation would a person on the plane experience? If not, what can you say about the motion of the plane?
c. Cameron argues that the physics we study in the classroom is good only for ideal conditions and that the world is more complicated than any situation we see in class. Cameron says people jumping out of airplanes are not particles and cannot be treated like particles. Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer. It may be helpful to return to Chapter 2 to see how a particle was defined.

3. What happens to the acceleration if the track is inclined at a 20 degree angle?
A. The acceleration will be greater than the original setup.
B. The acceleration will be less than the original setup.
C. The acceleration remains the same.
D. It's not possible to tell.

(a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor? (Enter your answer to at least three decimal places.)
(b) If the 370-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the horizontal, as shown in figure b, what will be the acceleration of the crate? Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).
1) A man pushes a 20.0 kg lawn mower with a force of 80.0 N directed along the handle, which is inclined at 30.0° to the horizontal as shown in the figure below. (a) If he moves at constant velocity, what is the impeding force due to the ground? (b) What force along the handle would produce an acceleration of 1.25 m/s' given the same impeding force?

- PLEASE WORK ON THE SECOND QUESTION(Question B). Problem: As the first human astronaut to land on a distant planet, you are standing on the edge of a small cliff. You toss a small experiment apparatus straight up in the air and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0m above the cliff. The apparatus then falls to the bottom of the cliff, landing a distance 10 m below its initial position. A) Given that the acceleration due to gravity on the exoplanet is a=−5.6j^ m/s^2 {REFER TO ONE OF THE PICTURE}, how long did it take for the apparatus to get from the top of its trajectory to the bottom of the cliff? The coordinate system is set up such that "up" is in the +j^ direction. Answer a): 2.2 seconds. ****B)Suppose the time between the apparatus leaving your hand and landing on the ground was measured to be t=4.80s. What was the velocity of the apparatus leaving your hand?arrow_forwardA block slides with constant speed under the action of the force shown (see figure 1.7)(A) How large is the retarding force?(B) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor?arrow_forwardhe FBD of the block should have looked like this. 1. A contestant in a winter sporting event pushes a block of ice of mass m across a frozen lake as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and ice is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk. θ is the angle the force makes with the x-axis. In this part, we are going to set-up Newton's second Law equations for the cases(1) when the ice block just starts moving, and(2) when it is accelerating to the right with an acceleration a. All answers are symbolic. ALL ANSWERS ARE CASE-SENSITIVE. Subpart 1: Newton's Second Law along the y-axis (i) Write Newton's Second Law along the y-axis by adding all forces in the y-direction taking into account their signs (forces pointing upwards are positive and downward are negative) in terms of the normal force N, weight mg, F and θ. In both scenarios, there is no acceleration along the y-direction, therefore, ay=0.…arrow_forward

- Hello, please answer the following Physics question correctly. *If you solve the question CORRECTLY and I will 100% leave a thumbs up for you. Thank you. Physics Question: 2) The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between a 3.0-kg box and a horizontal desktop are 0.040 and 0.030, respectively.

What is the magnitude of the upward acceleration of the load of bricks? a = ? What is the tension in the rope while the load is moving? T = ? How does the tension compare to the weight of the load of bricks? The tension is greater than the weight of the load of bricks. The tension is less than the weight of the load of bricks.
