- 14–83. A rocket of mass m is fired vertically from the surface of the earth, i.e., atr = r. Assuming that no mass is lost as it travels upward, determine the work it must do against gravity to reach a distance n. The force of gravity is F = GM,m/² (Eq. 13–1), where M is the mass of the earth and r the distance between the rocket and the center of the earth.arrow_forwardTwo blocks, with masses m and 3m, are attached to the ends of a string with negligible mass that passes over a pulley, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass and friction and is attached to the ceiling by a bracket.The blocks are simultaneously released from rest. Derive an equation for the speed v of the block of mass 3m after it falls a distance d in terms of m, d, and physical constants, as appropriate.arrow_forwardA wooden box with a mass of 50kg reaches v = 4m/s after translating to the right by five meters. Assuming μk = 0.3, calculate for the force P which accelerates the box.arrow_forward
- A 83.57 kg person jumps on the ground from a height of 1.95 m. If he lands stiffly (with his knee joints compressing by 0.500 cm). Calculate the force on the knee joint.arrow_forward(B) A maintenance man (climber) tries to maintain one of the power stations located at thetop of the mountain in the situation of winter. During his work and by mistake drops hiswater bottle which then slides 100 M down the side of a steep icy slope to a point which is10 m lower than the climber's position. The mass of the climber is 60 kg and his water bottlehas a mass of 500 g.1) If the bottle starts from rest, how fast is it travelling by the time it reaches the bottomof the slope? (Neglect friction.)What is the total change in the climber's potential energy as she climbs down the mountainto fetch her fallen water bottle? i.e. what is the difference between her potential energy atthe top of the slope and the bottom of the slope? Analysis all the above situation.arrow_forward3 m 4m Given a force F that has magnitude of 240 N, find the angles 0x, Oy, Oz that define the direction of the force F. * 0, = 56": 0, = 45"; 0, = 65° 124: 0, = 135"; 0, = 65° %3D 0, = 124: 0, = 45°; 0, = 65 %3D O 0, = 56: 0, = 45°: 0, = |15 %3Darrow_forward

If the air strikes a person at the rate of 40 kg/s per square meter and is brought to rest, estimate the force of the wind on a person. Assume the person is 1.50 m high and 0.50 m wide. Compare to the typical maximum force of friction (µ z 1.0) between the person and the ground, if the person has a mass of 70 kg.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 3.5 kg, initially moving at a speed of v_{1} = 12m / s to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface, is acted on by a variable horizontal force F as follows: For the first 10 s, F = 10N to the right; for the next 5 <= F =25* to the left; and for the last 8 <= F = 15N to right. Find the velocity of the block at the end of the 23-s interval.arrow_forward

How long does the body take to stop?arrow_forwardA skier on a 25° slope and his mass is 80 kg. If his constant velocity and thecoefficient of kinetic friction between the ski and the snow is 9m/sand 0.80, respectively, compute his velocity when he has skid 20m from his initialposition and a drag force experienced by the skier equivalent to a magnitude of 0.6V^2.arrow_forwardA blick of mass m is initially at rest at the highest point of an inclined plane, which has a height of 6.8 m and has an angle of 0=16 degrees with respect to the horizontal. After it has been released, you perceive it to be moving at v=0.55 m/s distance d afteer the end of the inclined plane as shown. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is up=0.1, and the coefficient of friction on the horizontal surfacee is ur=0.2. I already answered part (a) and just need help with part (b): a. what is the speed of the block, in meters per second, just after it leaves the inclined plane? 9.16 m/s (answer) b. Find the distance,d, in meters?arrow_forward
