- A particle moves in a medium under the influence of a retarding force equal to mk(υ3+ a2υ), where k and a are constants. Show that for any value of the initial speed the particle will never move a distance greater than π/2kaand that the particle comes to rest only for t → ∞.arrow_forwardTwo gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.arrow_forwardYou hold a slingshot at arms length, pull the light elastic band back to your chin, and release it to launch a pebble horizontally with speed 200 cm/s.

- During an Olympic 100-m sprint race, Usain Bolt, the world record holder in that race, quickly accelerates to his top speed of 12.4 m/s. Analysis of his technique has shown that each of his feet makes contact with the ground for 0.0800 s, exerting a force of magnitude 2.80 ✕ 103 N during this contact. This allows the 94.0 kg Bolt to leap forward and remain airborne for 0.120 s until the next foot touches the ground. (Ignore air resistance.) a) What are the magnitudes of the horizontal and vertical components of the force (in N) Bolt's feet exert on the ground? (Round your answers to at least three significant figures.) Horizontal = Vertical = b) Assuming that the sprinter accelerates at a constant rate while his feet are in contact with the ground and does not slow down when he is airborne, by what amount does Bolt's horizontal speed (in m/s) increase with each step? (Round your answer to at least three significant figures.) c) Assuming that the sprinter's speed increases at a…arrow_forwardLuke Skywalker, 73 kg, is training on Dagobah.

- A ball of mass m =1.80 kg is released from rest at a height h = 65.0 cm above a light vertical spring of force constant k as in Figure P5.66a. The ball strikes the top of the spring and compresses it a distance d =9.00 cm as in Figure P5.66b. Neglecting any energy losses during the collision, find (a) the speed of the ball just as it touches the spring and (b) the force constant of the spring.arrow_forwardHi I am in physics I, and they have the problem: In a baseball game, the 145g ball reaches the batter with a speed of 15.0m/s. The batter hits the ball with a force as shown in exact oppositie direction. The peak force (F max) is 1500N. Find the ball speed right after the hit. It was solved like: J= mvf - mvi area=1/2*b8h J= area = 1500(6)/2 + 1500(2)/2 J=6000 J=6.0 N*s 6.0 N*s = (0.1 +5kg)vf - (0.145kg)(-15) solve for vf vf=26.38 I really don't understand where 0.1 came from. If you can just break down i bit how this is solve that would be great. Thanks!arrow_forwardReview.
