Chapter 8, Problem 8.66AP
Review. As a prank, someone has balanced a pumpkin at the highest point of a grain silo. The silo is topped with a hemispherical cap that is frictionless when wet. The line from the center of curvature of the cap to the pumpkin makes an angle θi = 0° with the vertical. While you happen to be standing nearby in the middle of a rainy night, a breath of wind makes the pumpkin start sliding downward from rest. It loses contact with the cap when the line from the center of the hemisphere to the pumpkin makes a certain angle with the vertical. What is this angle?

You are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 210 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 103 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 350 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force (in N) for the last 20 m for the empty test car. N (b) Find the highest speed (in m/s) reached by the car during the final section of track length…
You are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster–type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 250-kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 110-m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 50.0 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force for the last 20 m for the empty test car. (b) Find the highest speed reached by the car during the final section of track length 250 m. (c) You are…

- A suspicious physics student watches a stunt performed at an ice show. In the stunt, a performer shoots an arrow into a bale of hay (Fig. P11.24). Another performer rides on the bale of hay like a cowboy. After the arrow enters the bale, the balearrow system slides roughly 5 m along the ice. Estimate the initial speed of the arrow. Is there a trick to this stunt? FIGURE P11.24arrow_forwardReview. 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 2 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 skier starts from rest at the top of a hill. The skier coasts down the hill and up a second hill, as the drawing illustrates. The crest of the second hill is circular, with a radius of 37.3 m. Neglect friction and air resistance. What must be the height h of the first hill so that the skier just loses contact with the snow at the crest of the second hill? Number Unitsarrow_forward
- An airplane of mass 3.60 × 105 kg experienced a problem with all its tires when it was about to touch down at a runway of an airport. The tires were deadlocked and not able to roll. The airplane began to skid once it touched down and left behind a 728 m long skid mark on the runway before it came to a stop. Even though everyone on the airplane was safe, the pilot was accused of failing to land the airplane within the allowable speed limit of 80.0 m/s and his pilot license was suspended. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and runway was 0.496. (i) Determine the work done by friction on the tires.(ii) Use the Work-Energy Theorem to evaluate if the suspension of the pilot’s license should be revoked. #This is an exercise question, please help. Thank You.arrow_forwardAn object of mass m=2 kg placed on a rough horizontal surface is given an initial speed of 9m/s and comes to rest after covering a distance d=12m. The kinetic friction f k is equal to: VA= 8m/sec A d 8.33 N 9.85 N 5.33 N 4.66 N 6.75 N VB=0 Barrow_forwardA 480 g peregrine falcon reaches a speed of 75 m/s in a vertical dive called a stoop.

If you can please explain your answer so I can fully understand. Thank you!arrow_forwardAn astronaut lands on a newly-discovered planet (without an atmosphere). As an experiment, she throws vertically upwards a pure vanadium sphere of radius 2.0 cm and density 5.5 × 103 kg m3 with an initial speed of 3.0 ms 1. The point of release is 1.2 m above the ground. She observes the sphere to travel 4.8 m before it starts falling to the ground. Calculate the kinetic energy of the projectile just as it hits the ground.arrow_forward
- A 4.0 kg block starts with a speed of 15 m/s at the bottom of a plane inclined at 33° to the horizontal. The coefficient of sliding friction between the block and plane is ?k = 0.22.arrow_forward20. As shown in Figure A P8.20, a green bead of mass 25 g slides along a straight wire. The length of the wire from point @ to point ® is 0.600 m, and point A is 0.200 m higher than point . A constant friction force (B Figure P8.20 of magnitude 0.025 0 N acts on the bead. (a) If the bead is released from rest at point @, what is its speed at point ®? (b) A red bead of mass 25 g slides along a curved wire, subject to a friction force with the same constant magnitude as that on the green bead. If the green and red beads are released simultaneously from rest at point @, which bead reaches point 8 with a higher speed? Explain.arrow_forwardA rectangular block of metal situated on a wide flat surface is given an initial speed of 4.5 m/s. Suppose that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the metal and the flat surface is 0.025, how long will be the distance covered before it stops? Ignore air resistance.arrow_forward
