- An object of mass m is traveling on a horizontal surface. There is a coefficient ofkinetic friction µ between the object and the surface. The object has speed v when itreaches x=0 and encounters a spring. The object compresses the spring, stops, and thenrecoils and travels in the opposite direction. When the object reaches x=0 on its returntrip, it stops. Find k, the spring constant, in terms of µ, m, g, and varrow_forwardA 500 g particle has velocity vx = -8.0 m/s at t =-2 s. Force Fx=(4−t^2)N, where t is in s, is exerted on the particle between t=−2s and t = 2 s. This force increases from 0 N at t = -2 s to 4 N at t = 0 s and then back to 0 N at t = 2 s. What is the particle's velocity at t=2 s?arrow_forwardThe IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn’t need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS’s sails was measured to be 1.12 mN. If this were the only force acting on the 290 kg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 6 months of flight?arrow_forward

- A 19-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a horizontal force of 32 N. Starting from rest, the sled attains a speed of 1.6 m/s in 8.3 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow. Number Unitsarrow_forwardWhen a car is hit from behind, its passengers undergo sudden forward acceleration, which can cause a severe neck injury known as whiplash. During normal acceleration, the neck muscles play a large role in accelerating the head so that the bones are not injured. But during a very sudden acceleration, the muscles do not react immediately because they are flexible; most of the accelerating force is provided by the neck bones. Experiments have shown that these bones will fracture if they absorb more than 8.0 J of energy. (a) If a car waiting at a stoplight is rear-ended in a collision that lasts for 10.0 ms, what is the greatest speed this car and its driver can reach without breaking neck bones if the driver’s head has a mass of 5.0 kg (which is about right for a 70 kg person)? Express your answer in m/s and in mi/h. (b) What is the acceleration of the passengers during the collision in part (a), and how large a force is acting to accelerate their heads? Express the acceleration in m/s2…arrow_forwarda mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist.
