- Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard famously took two golf shots on the Moon where its been estimated that an expertly hit shot could travel for 70.0 s through the Moons reduced gravity, airless environment to a maximum range of 4.00 km (about 2.5 miles). Assuming such an expert shot has a launch angle of 45.0, determine the golf balls (a) kinetic energy as it leaves the club, and (b) maximum altitude in km above the lunar surface. Take the mass of a golf ball to be 0.045 0 kg and the Moons gravitational acceleration to be gmoon = 1.63 m/s2.arrow_forwardA block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizon-tal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P8.65). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The blocks speed at the bottom of the track is v = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point? (c) Does the block actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?arrow_forwardA 5.00-kg block is set into motion up an inclined plane with an initial speed of i = 8.00 m/s (Fig. P7.21). The block comes to rest after traveling d = 3.00 m along the plane, which is inclined at an angle of = 30.0 to the horizontal. For this motion, determine (a) the change in the blocks kinetic energy, (b) the change in the potential energy of the block-Earth system, and (c) the friction force exerted on the block (assumed to be constant), (d) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

- Review. The mass of a car is 1 500 kg. The shape of the cars body is such that its aerodynamic drag coefficient is D = 0.330 and its frontal area is 2.50 m2. Assuming the drag force is proportional to v2 and ignoring other sources of friction, calculate the power required to maintain a speed of 100 km/h as the car climbs a long hill sloping at 3.20.arrow_forwardA small block of mass m = 200 g is released from rest at point along the horizontal diameter on the inside of a frictionless, hemispherical bowl of radius R = 30.0 cm (Fig. P7.45). Calculate (a) the gravitational potential energy of the block-Earth system when the block is at point relative to point . (b) the kinetic energy of the block at point , (c) its speed at point , and (d) its kinetic energy and the potential energy when the block is at point . Figure P7.45 Problems 45 and 46.arrow_forwardAnswer yes or no to each of the following questions. (a) Can an objectEarth system have kinetic energy and not gravitational potential energy? (b) Can it have gravitational potential energy and not kinetic energy? (c) Can it have both types of energy at the same moment? (d) Can it have neither?arrow_forward
- Review. In 1887 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, C. J. Belknap built the water slide shown in Figure P8.77. A rider on a small sled, of total mass 80.0 kg, pushed off to start at the top of the slide (point ) with a speed of 2.50 m/s. The chute was 9.76 m high at the top and 543 m long. Along its length, 72.5 small wheels made friction negligible. Upon leaving the chute horizon-tally at its bottom end (point ), the rider skimmed across the water of Long Island Sound for as much as 50 m, skipping along like a flat pebble, before at last coming to rest and swimming ashore, pulling his sled after him. (a) Find the speed of the sled and rider at point (b) Model the force of water friction as a constant retarding force acting on a particle. Find the magnitude of the friction force the water exerts on the sled. (c) Find the magnitude of the force the chute exerts on the sled at point (d) At point , the chute is horizontal but curving in the vertical plane. Assume its radius of curvature is 20.0 m. Find the force the chute exerts on the sled at point .arrow_forwardA book of mass in is projected with a speed v across a horizontal surface. The book slides until it stops due to the friction force between the book and the surface. The surface is now tilted 30, and the book is projected up the surface with the same initial speed v. When the book has come to rest, how does the decrease in mechanical energy of the book-Earth system compare with that when the book slid over the horizontal surface? (a) Its the same. (b) Its larger on the tilted surface. (c) Its smaller on the tilted surface. (d) More information is needed.arrow_forwardA hummingbird is able to hover because, as the wings move downward, they exert a downward force on the air. Newtons third law tells us that the air exerts an equal and opposite force (upward) on the wings. The average of this force must be equal to the weight of the bird when it hovers. If the wings move through a distance of 3.5 cm with each stroke, and the wings beat 80 times per second, determine the work performed by the wings on the air in 1 m if the mass of the hummingbird is 3.0 g.arrow_forward
- The particle described in Problem 71 (Fig. P5.71) is released from point A at rest. Its speed at B is 1.50 m/s. (a) What is its kinetic energy at B? (b) How much mechanical energy is lost as a result of friction as the particle goes from A to B? (c) Is it possible to determine from these results in a simple manner? Explain.arrow_forwardGive an example of a situation in which there is a force and a displacement, but the force does no work. Explain why it does no work.arrow_forwardAssume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?arrow_forward
