A car weighing 2.5 metric tons and traveling at 90 km/h hits a 500 m long stretch of black
ice. Unfortunately, due to skidding, neither accelerating nor braking has any effect on the
speed! The driver manages to maintain steady straight direction of motion and the only
impact is provided by the ice friction force, which is numerically equal to 4v² Newtons, where
the velocity v of the car is measured in m/sec.
(a) Using Newton's Second Law F = ma, set up a mathematical model for the position
x(t) and velocity v(t) of the car as functions of time t. Start by drawing a diagram and
choosing a consistent system of units based on kg, m, sec (1 ton = 1000 kg, 1 m/sec =
3.6 km/h, 1 N = 1 kg · m/sec²). Introduce and label the variables, show the units and
write down the differential equations and the intial conditions.
(b) Use the model in part a to calculate v(t) and x(t). Fully show the process of solving the
initial value problems.
(c) Based on your work so far, how long will it take to pass…
An airliner of mass 1.70 * 105 kg lands at a speed of 75.0 m>s. As it travels along the runway, the combined effects of air resistance, friction from the tires, and reverse thrust from the engines produce a constant force of 2.90 * 105 N opposite to the airliner’s motion. What distance along the runway does the airliner travel before coming to a halt?
A 1.80x10^4 kg semi-trailer truck drives up a 200 m hill [θ = 30 degrees above horizontal], at a constant speed of 25.0 m/s. The force of friction is 6.00x10^2 N. Write an equation to isolate and solve for P.

(b) What will be the car's stopping distance for wet pavement ( = 0.60)?arrow_forwardA Chinook salmon can swim underwater at 3.58 m/s, and it can also jump vertically upward, leaving the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s. A record salmon has length 1.50 m and mass 61.0 kg. Consider the fish swimming straight upward in the water below the surface of a lake. The gravitational force exerted on it is very nearly canceled out by a buoyant force exerted by the water. The fish experiences an upward force P exerted by the water on its threshing tail fin and a downward fluid friction force that we model as acting on its front end. Assume the fluid friction force disappears as soon as the fish’s head breaks the water surface and assume the force on its tail is constant. Model the gravitational force as suddenly switching full on when half the length of the fish is out of the water. Find the value of P.arrow_forwardA 1,652-kg car starts from rest at the top of a driveway 7.03 m long that is sloped at an angle of 38 degrees with the horizontal.

- A boat and its passengers have a combined mass of 5.10x10^2 kg. The boat is coasting into a pier at a speed of 1.00 m/s. How great a force is required to bring the boat to rest in 1.00x10^2 s?arrow_forward49. Show that Equation 15.32 is a solution of Equation 15.31 provided that b2< 4mk. One common type of retarding force is that discussed in Section 6.4, where the force is proportional to the speed of the moving object and acts in the direc- tion opposite the velocity of the object with respect to the medium. This retarding force is often observed when an object moves through air, for instance. Because the retarding force can be expressed as R = -bv (where bis a constant called the damping coefficient) and the restoring force of the system is -kx, we can write New- ton's second law as SF,= -kx - bv, = ma, dx d'x -kx - b = m (15.31) dt di" The solution to this equation requires mathematics that may be unfamiliar to you; we simply state it here without proof. When the retarding force is small compared with the maximum restoring force-that is, when the damping coefficient b is small-the solution to Equation 15.31 is x = Ae 2w cos (ot + o) (15.32)arrow_forwardA skier traveling travelling with a magnitude of velocity v approaches a ramp that has an angle of 0. The approach to the ramp is frictionless, but there is friction on the ramp, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the ramp is uk. If the skier travels a distance d up the ramp before coming to a stop, what was their initial velocity v? Your answer for v should be in terms of d, g, uk, and 0. นarrow_forward
