Using energy considerations, calculate the average force a 60.0-kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate from 2.00

to 8.00 m/s in a distance of 25.0 m, if he encounters a headwind that exerts an average force of 30.0 N against him.

Answer:

F = 102 N

Explanation:

ASSUMING the track is horizontal to avoid gravity potential energy considerations.

The work of the applied force must overcome friction work and increase the kinetic energy of the runner

F(d) = Ff(d) + ½m(v² - u²)

F = Ff + m(v² - u²) / 2d

F = 30.0 + 60.0(8.00² - 2.00²) / (2(25.0))

F = 102 N

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If
mart [117]

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak. the clam lands on the roc
vovangra [49]

Part a)

in horizontal direction there is no gravity or no other acceleration

so in horizontal direction the speed of clam will remain same

v_x = 2.70 m/s

Part b)

In vertical direction we can use kinematics

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + 2.1 * 9.8

v_f = 20.6 m/s

part c)

if the speed of crow will be increased then the horizontal speed of the clam will also increase but there is no change in the vertical speed

Josh starts his sled at the top of a 2.9-m-high hill that has a constant slope of 25∘. After reaching the bottom, he slides acro
algol13

Answer:

S=48.29 m

Explanation:

Given that the height of the hill h = 2.9 m

Coefficient of kinetic friction between his sled and the snow μ = 0.08

Let u be the speed of the skier at the bottom of the hill.

By applying conservation of energy at the top and bottom of the inclined plane we get.

Potential Energy=kinetic Energy

mgh = (1/2) mu²

u² = 2gh

u²=2(9.81)(2.9)

   =56.89

u=7.54 m/s

a = - f / m

a = - μ*m*g / m

a = - μg

From equation of motion

v²- u² = 2 -μ g S

v=0 m/s

-(7.54)²=-2(0.06)(9.81)S

S=48.29 m
