Chapter 14, Problem 14.106RP
A 50-kg mother and her 26-kg son are sledding down a 20° incline when their 8-kg toboggan hits a small bump and the son falls off the sled (he was not holding onto the toboggan as instructed by his mother). After one second, the mother jumps off the toboggan to see if her son is unharmed. The son leaves the toboggan with zero relative velocity, and the mother has a relative velocity of 1 m/s up the hill when she jumps off the toboggan. Knowing that the toboggan is initially traveling at 5 m/s and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the toboggan and the ground is 0.35, determine the speed of the toboggan immediately after the mother jumps off.

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 make
contact with the ground for 0.0800 s, exerting a force of magnitude 2.80 x 10° 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
N
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.)
m/s
(c) Assuming that the sprinter's speed increases at a…

- To understand how the conservation of energy and Newton's second law can be combined to solve kinetic problems. As shown, a large globe has a radius R and a frictionless surface. A small block with mass m starts sliding from rest at the top of the globe and slides along the globe’s surface. The block leaves the globe’s surface when it reaches a height hl above the ground. The system’s geometry is shown for an arbitrary height h. (Figure 1) Note that the subscripts used in this problem is the letter l and not the number 1. Consider what happens when the block leaves the globe’s surface. Which of the following statement or statements are correct? The net acceleration of the block is directed straight down. The component of the force of gravity toward the globe’s center is equal to the normal force’s magnitude. The force of gravity is the only force acting on the block.Consider what happens when the block leaves the globe’s surface.

In one maneuver, the pilot reaches the top of her static hover at 200 m. The combined thrust and lift force on the airplane applied at the end of the static hover can be expressed as F = (44t + 2500t2)i + (250t2 + t + 176 580)j, where F and t are expressed in newtons and seconds, respectively. Determine how long it will take the airplane to reach a cruising speed of 1000 km/hr (cruising speed is defined to be in the x-direction only).arrow_forward: Tom is interviewing for a new job – a test driver. He was asked to determine whether a vehicle built to test the effects of Problem 1 high accelerations on people is safe. The car moving at a speed of 20 m/s runs into a piston that compresses the air in a cylinder and stops the car in 0.30 m. The 70-kg passenger stops in the same distance due to the force of shoulder straps and seat belts on her body. Draw free-body diagram for the passenger when he is slowing down to a stop inside a car. Assume that the force of the shoulder straps and seat belt is horizontal. Do not forget to draw acceleration vector as well. Choosing the passenger as your system and applying energy conservation law, find the work that the force of shoulder straps b. and seat belts did on his body in this process. C. Now that you have determined the work in the previous part, determine the magnitude of the average force of these restraints on the person during the stop.arrow_forward
