In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land

hard on the floor. Suppose the victim falls by 0.40 m, the mass that moves downward is 63.0 kg, and the collision on the floor lasts 0.0830 s. What are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

Answer:

(a) \vec{J}=176.4\frac{kg*m}{s} \hat{j}

(b) F=2125.30N

Explanation:

(a) According to the law of conservation of energy, the potential energy of the person at 0.40 m is equal to its kinetic energy before the colision with the floor:

\Delta U=\Delta K\\mgh=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\v=\sqrt{2gh}\\v=\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.40m)}\\v=2.8\frac{m}{s}

This is the initial velocity in the negative y-direction. Impulse is given by:

\vec{J}=\Delta \vec{p}\\\vec{J}=m\vec{v_f}-m\vec{v_i}\\\vec{J}=63kg(0 \hat{j})-63kg(-2.8\frac{m}{s} \hat{j})\\\vec{J}=176.4\frac{kg*m}{s} \hat{j}

(b) The average force is:

F=\frac{J}{\Delta t}\\F=\frac{176.4\frac{kg*m}{s}}{0.083s}\\F=2125.30N

A car is moving at 19 m/s along a curve on a horizontal plane with radius of curvature 49m.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

\mu =0.75

Explanation:

<u>Frictional Force </u>

When the car is moving along the curve, it receives a force that tries to take it from the road. It's called centripetal force and the formula to compute it is:

F_c=m.a_c

The centripetal acceleration a_c is computed as

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where v is the tangent speed of the car and r is the radius of curvature. Replacing the formula into the first one

F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

For the car to keep on the track, the friction must have the exact same value of the centripetal force and balance the forces. The friction force is computed as

F_r=\mu N

The normal force N is equal to the weight of the car, thus

F_r=\mu .m.g

Equating both forces

\displaystyle \mu .m.g=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

Simplifying

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{v^2}{rg}

Substituting the values

\displaystyle \mu =\frac{19^2}{(49)(9.8)}

\boxed{\mu =0.75}
