Concept explainers
At a construction site, a 65.0-kg bucket of concrete hangs from a light (but strong) cable that passes over a light, friction-free pulley and is connected to an 80.0-kg box on a horizontal roof (Fig. P7.37). The cable pulls horizontally on the box, and a 50.0-kg bag of gravel rests on top of the box. The coefficients of friction between the box and roof are shown, (a) Find the friction force on the bag of gravel and on the box. (b) Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.00 m from rest. (Use Newton’s laws to check your answer.)

- A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible?

One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length L = 12.0cm and bob of mass 0.210 kg. The string makes an angle = 7.00 with the vertical, a. What is the radial acceleration of the bob? b. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob?arrow_forwardA rocket has a total mass of 1.01 105 kg and a burnout mass of 1.14 104 kg, including engines, shell and payload.

In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 9.0 ∘∘.arrow_forward
- At the center of a 47.0 m diameter circular ice rink, a 56.0 kg skater traveling north at 2.60 m/s collides with and holds onto a 59.0 kg skater who had been heading west at 1.05 m/s. How long (in seconds) will it take them to reach the edge of the rink assuming negligible friction and drag?arrow_forwardPART 1: A 5.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (1.20 m, 2.00 m), and a 6.00 kg particle has the xy coordi-nates (0.300 m, 0.750 m). Both lie on a horizontal plane. At what (a) x and (b) y coordinates must you placea 4.00 kg particle such that the center of mass of the three-particle system has the coordinates (0.500 m, 0.900 m)? PART 2: A rope is used to pull a 3.5 kg block at constant speed 6 m along a horizontal oor. The force onthe block from the rope is 7 N and directed = 20 above the horizontal. What are (a) the work done by therope's force, (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block- oor system. PART 3: Draw a labelled gure to explain the idea of turning point in terms of energy.arrow_forwardYou and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 23 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.2 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.3 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.52, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?arrow_forward
- Spectators watch a bicycle stunt rider travel off the end of a 57.5° ramp, rise to the top of her trajectory and, at that instant, suddenly push her bike horizontally away from her so that she falls vertically straight down, reaching the ground 0.525 s later. How far (in m) from the rider does the bicycle land if the rider has a mass mrider = 58.4 kg and the bike has a mass mbike = 14.5 kg? Neglect air resistance and assume the ground is level. ?marrow_forwardA 140 g ball is thrown with a speed of 50 m/s. If it takes 1.5 s for the ball to come to rest in the catcher's hand, what is the average force the catcher experiences due to the ball? a. 3.43 Nb. 4.3 Nc. 4.67 Nd. 5 Narrow_forwardWhich one of the following statement is true: a. The center of mass of an object must lie within the object. b. The center of mass of an object cannot move if the net force exerted on the object is zero. c. All the mass of an object is actually concentrated at its center of mass. d. The center of mass of an object must lie outside the object. e. None of the above. ANS: e Can someone please explain why they're false. I know that the CofM can be outside the object or inside so I know a and d are false. I know, for instance, with a baseball bat that the hitting end is more massive and that the CofM is more towards the more massive object so I can assume that c is false. I'm not sure about b.
