A box descends a ramp and lands on a surface. The box exits the side of the table as it meets the bottom of the tamp, becoming a horizontal projectile. It lands x metres away from the table. The same ramp may be rolled down by a solid sphere with the same coefficient of friction, mass, and height. Will the sphere land a long way away?

B. Have a paragraph-length description of the logic.
A large globe has a radius R and a frictionless surface. A small block of mass m slides starts from rest at the very top of the globe and slides along the surface of the globe. The block leaves the surface of the globe when it reaches a height hcrit above the ground. The geometry of the situation is shown in the figure for an arbitrary height h. (Figure 1)
a) Using Newton's 2nd law, find vcrit, the speed of the block at the critical moment when the block leaves the surface of the globe. (Assume that the height at which the block leaves the surface of the globe is hcrit)
Express the speed in terms of R, hcrit, and g, the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Do not use theta in your answer.
b) Use the law of conservation of energy to find vcrit. This will give you a different expression for vcrit than you found in the previous part.
Express vcrit in terms of R, hcrit, and g.
c) Find hcrit, the height from the ground at which the block leaves the surface of the globe.

- At amusement parks, there is a popular ride where the floor of a rotating cylindrical room falls away, leaving the backs of the riders “plastered” against the wall. Suppose the radius of the room is 8.8 m and the coefficient of friction between the rider and the wall is 0.653, what is the minimum the safe speed of the wall for the rider not to drop when the floor falls away. Use g=9.8 m/s2.arrow_forwardYou push a .50kg block against a spring (k=3100 N/m),compressing it by .12m. The block is then released from rest and the spring pushes the block away. The spring and the block lose contact and the block collides with a second block of twice the mass. The two blocks slide together down a frictionless track consisting of a flat straightaway and a vertical, semi-circle of radius 40cm. What is the speed of the blocks when they have travelled halfway up the semicircle part of the track? What is the magnitude of the normal force on the two blocks at that same location?arrow_forwardA father places his 20 kg child on a 5.0 kg cart, to which a 2.0 m rope is attached.

He places a 1.0 kg rock in a sling, ties the sling to a 1.0-m-long vine, then swings the rock in a horizontal circle around his head. The plane of the motion is 25 m above the plain below. The tension in the vine increases as the rock goes faster and faster. Suddenly, just as the tension reaches 200 N, the vine snaps. If the rock is moving toward the cliff at this instant, how far out on the plain (from the base of the cliff) will it land?arrow_forward

- A 0.5-kg stone slides down a frictionless bowl, starting from rest at the rim. The bowl itself is a hemisphere of radius 0.100 m. Just as the stone reaches the bottom of the bowl, how fast is it moving?arrow_forwardThe figure below shows a block of mass 0.5 kg moving on the inside surface of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1 m.
