- As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmons acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.arrow_forwardA box rests on a surface (Fig. P6.64). A force Fapp is applied to the box in two different ways. In both cases. Fapp has the same magnitude, but in case 1 the force is directed below the horizontal, whereas in case 2 it is directed above the horizontal. a. Draw a free-body diagram for both cases. b. Now Fapp is increased in both cases until the box just barely remains at rest. Compare Fs, max for each free-body diagram. c. Use your answer to part (b) to find a best way to move a heavy desk. Describe and explain your solution.arrow_forwardAn automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.arrow_forward
- A simple accelerometer is constructed inside a car by suspending an object of mass m from a string of length L that is tied to the cars ceiling. As the car accelerates the string-object system makes a constant angle of with the vertical. (a) Assuming that the string mass is negligible compared with m, derive an expression for the cars acceleration in terms of and show that it is independent of the mass m and the length L. (b) Determine the acceleration of the car when = 23.0.arrow_forwardIn Example 4.6, we investigated the apparent weight of a fish in an elevator. Now consider a 72.0-kg man standing on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.20 m/s in 0.800 s. It travels with this constant speed for the next 5.00 s. The elevator then undergoes a uniform acceleration in the negative y direction for 1.50 s and comes to rest. What does the spring scale register (a) before the elevator starts to move, (b) during the first 0.800 s, (c) while the elevator is traveling at constant speed, and (d) during the time interval it is slowing down?arrow_forwardA soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after It leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 3.50 ms (3.50103s) (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?arrow_forward

(b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?arrow_forward
- A magician pulls a tablecloth from under a 200-g mug located 30.0 cm from the edge of the cloth. The cloth exerts a friction force of 0.100 N on the mug and is pulled with a constant acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. How far does the mug move relative to the horizontal tabletop before the cloth is completely out from under it? Note that the cloth must move more than 30 cm relative to the tabletop during the process.arrow_forwardA potato of mass 0.5 kg moves under Earth’s gravity with an air resistive force of −kmv. (a) Find the terminal velocity if the potato is released from rest and k = 0.01 s−1. (b) Find the maximum height of the potato if it has the same value of k, but it is initially shot directly upward with a student-made potato gun with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.arrow_forwardAn airplane of mass 1.50 104 kg is in level flight, initially moving at 60.0 m/s. The resistive force exerted by air on the airplane has a magnitude of 4.0 104 N. By Newtons third law, if the engines exert a force on the exhaust gases to expel them out of the back of the engine, the exhaust gases exert a force on the engines in the direction of the airplanes travel. This force is called thrust, and the value of the thrust in this situation is 7.50 104 N. (a) Is the work done by the exhaust gases on the airplane during some time interval equal to the change in the airplanes kinetic energy? Explain. (b) Find the speed of the airplane after it has traveled 5.0 102 m.arrow_forward
