Chapter 9, Problem 10Q
It is said that in ancient times a rich man with a bag of gold coins was stranded on the surface of a frozen lake. Because the ice was frictionless, he could not push himself to shore and froze to death. What could he have done to save himself had he not been so miserly?

About 70 g of blood is pumped from a person's heart into the aorta during each heartbeat. The blood starts at rest with respect to the body and has a speed of about 1.2 m/s in the aorta. If the pumping takes 0.15 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the heart on the blood?

- To lift off from the Moon, a 9.50 105 kg rocket needs a thrust larger than the force of gravity. If the exhaust velocity is 4.25 103 m/s, at what rate does the exhaust need to be expelled to provide sufficient thrust? The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is 1.62 m/s2.arrow_forwardA model rocket engine has an average thrust of 5.26 N. It has an initial mass of 25.5 g, which includes fuel mass of 12.7 g. The duration of its burn is 1.90 s. (a) What is the average exhaust speed of the engine? (b) This engine is placed in a rocket body of mass 53.5 g. What is the final velocity of the rocket if it were to be fired from rest in outer space by an astronaut on a spacewalk? Assume the fuel burns at a constant rate.arrow_forwardDuring a spacewalk, Dmitri finds himself floating 3 m from his space station's airlock. He only has one minute of air left.

- 22. During a circus performance, John Tailor was fired from a compressed-air cannon whose barrel was 20 m long. Mr. Tailor emerged from the cannon (twice on weekdays, three times on Saturdays and Sundays) at 40 m/s. If Mr. Tailor's mass was 60 kg, what was the average force on him when he was inside the cannon's barrel?arrow_forwardThe puffer fish (tetradontiade) can employ a defense mechanism whereby it fills its stomach with water until the fish is almost spherical in shape. The shape, in conjunction with its external spines, are a significant deterrent to predators. Suppose that a puffer fish takes in water until its mass has increased by f = 1.89 times its initial mass. In this state, and initially at rest, the puffer fish expels the water with a speed s in one direction, while the fish recoils in the opposite direction at a speed v. For this problem neglect the drag-force effects of the surrounding ocean water. Write an expression for v/s in terms of f.arrow_forwardA 93.1 kg man sits on the stern of a 7 m long boat. The prow of the boat touches the pier, but the boat isn’t tied. The man notices his mistake, stands up and walks to the boat’s prow, but by the time he reaches the prow, it’s moved 2.59 m away from the pier. Assuming no water resistance to the boat’s motion, calculate the boat’s mass (not counting the man). Answer in units of kg.  please helparrow_forward
- Scenario: You have been chosen as the test subject for the newest attraction at Canada’s Wonderland. This attraction is a single-person roller coaster ride that has a 25.0 m drop followed by a plunger/piston device that brings the ride to rest. The plunger/piston is connected to a cylinder that contains 250 kg of water. The cart has a mass of 75.0 kg and starts at rest from the top of the track. To determine the total mass of the cart during the ride you must add your mass. As the cart moves down the track it has been determined that friction in the wheels and axles results in the production of 2750 J of thermal and sound energy combined. The plunger/piston at the bottom of the device has been designed to stop the cart with a maximum acceleration of 5.00 g’s (i.e. 49.0 m/s2). MY MASS: 66.2kg Problem 1: The cart with you inside of it starts from rest at the top of the ride. Determine the gravitational potential energy of the cart with you as the single passenger at the top of the ride.…arrow_forwardYou are participating in a fresh water fishing tournament with the goal of catching the heaviest fish. You are in the middle of the river when you finally get your catch; unfortunately, you realize that you left the spring scales in your car. All you have in the boat are the paddles, your 16 Oz coffee mug, some rope, measuring tape, and a plastic bag. Estimate the mass of the fish (in kilograms) using these items.arrow_forwardIn the figure, two long barges are moving in the same direction in still water, one with a speed of 13 km/h and the other with a speed of 16 km/h. While they are passing each other, coal is shoveled from the slower to the faster one at a rate of 800 kg/min. How much additional force must be provided by the driving engines of (a) the faster barge and (b) the slower barge if neither is to change speed? Assume that the shoveling is always perfectly sideways and that the frictional forces between the barges and the water do not depend on the mass of the barges. Sarrow_forward
