In a pickup game of dorm shuffleboard, students crazed by final exams use a broom to propel a calculus book along the dorm hallway. If the 3.8 kg book is pushed from rest through a distance of 0.62 m by the horizontal 22 N force from the broom and then has a speed of 1.9 m/s, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and floor?

A freight train consists of two 8.00105kgengines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50105kg . (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.0010-2m/s2if the force of friction is 7.50105Nassuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently, trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?
Check Your Understanding Suppose that Balto in Example 2.10 leaves the game to attend to more important matter, but Astro Clifford and Dug continue playing. Astro and Clifford’s pull on the toy does not change, but Dug rims around and bites on the toy in a different place. With how big a force and in what direction must Dug pull on the toy now to balance out the combined pulls from Clifford and Astro? Illustrate this situation by drawing a vector diagram indicating all forces involved.

A skydiver is at an altitude of 1520 m. After 10.0 seconds of free fall, he opens his parachute and finds that the air resistance, FD , is given by the formula FD=bv , where bis a constant and vis the velocity. If b=0.750 , and the mass of the skydiver is 82.0 kg, first set up differential equations for the velocity and the position, and then find: (a) the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens, (b) the distance fallen before the parachute opens, (c) the terminal velocity after the parachute opens (find the limiting velocity), and (d) the time the skydiver is in the air after the parachute opens.

Quickly, he ties m a rope to a rock of mass m, and makes his way over the ledge (see the figure). If the coefficient of maximum static friction between the rock and the ground is u, and the mass of the hiker is mn, what is the maximum mass of the friend, mf, that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge? Assume the rope is parallel to the ground and the point where the rope passes over the ledge is frictionless. m. mf = contact us help terms of use about us| privacy policy careers
