- An Olympic swimmer stands on top of a platform at a height H above a swimming pool. At the moment of jumping into the pool, he jumps with a speed v_0 forming an angle θ with the horizontal, just as shown in the figure. The swimmer reaches a maximum height h measured from the platform to point B. (d) If we assume that when entering the water the athlete follows a straight path traveling 3.50 m before coming to a complete stop in the water and that the frictional force exerted by the water is 206 N. Determine the change in mechanical energy that the athlete experiences when stopping in the waterarrow_forwardAn object with a mass of 10 kg is initially at rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plane that rises at 30° above the horizontal. At the top, the object is initially 8.0 m from the bottom of the incline, as shown in the figure. When the object is released from this position, it eventually stops at a distance d from the bottom of the inclined plane along a horizontal surface, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the horizontal surface and the object is 0.20, and air resistance is negligible. Find the distance d.arrow_forwardWhen a click beetle is upside down on its back, it jumps upward by suddenly arching its back, transferring energy stored in a muscle to mechanical energy.This launching mechanism produces an audible click, giving the beetle its name.Videotape of a certain clickbeetle jump shows that a beetle of mass m = 4.0 * 10-6 kg moved directly upward by 0.77 mm during the launch and then to a maximum height of h= 0.30 m. During the launch, what are the average magnitudes of (a) the external force on the beetle’s back from the floor and (b) the acceleration of the beetle in terms of g?arrow_forward
- Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.

- A block of mass m is initially at rest at the peak of an inclined plane, which has a height of 6.9 m and makes an angle of θ = 29° with respect to the horizontal. After being released, it is observed to be moving at v = 1 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μp = 0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surface is μr = 0.2. Find the distance d, in metersarrow_forwardIn the figure, a block of mass m is moving along the horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 10 m/s.

Assume the truck has four-wheel drive, so the drive train translates the power of the motor equally to all four wheels. The mass of just the truck is m2, and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs. A metal crate of mass m1 sits on the flat, horizontal, wooden bed of the truck, and μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bed and the metal crate. Part (b) Assume the crate slips in the bed of the truck as the truck is accelerating. Write an expression for the maximum possible acceleration of the truck so that its tires don't slip.

The object slides from this position and it stops at a distance d from the bottom of the inclined plane along a rough horizontal surface with friction, as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction for the horizontal surface is 0.400. (a) What is the speed of the object at the bottom of the inclined plane?
