A spaceship is at rest in deep space. Its thrusters provide a force of The spaceship fires its thrusters for s, then coasts for km. How long does it take the spaceship to coast this distance?
Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a 鈥渃rumple zone鈥 in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton鈥檚 first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about . a. A person is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is . Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.
b. Estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag
The position of a 2.0 kg mass is given by x = 12t 3 - 3t 2 2 m, where t is in seconds. What is the net horizontal force on the mass at
(a) t = 0 s and
(b) t = 1 s?
Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for 1.0 s, starting from rest, giving the puck speed v after traveling distance d. If you repeat the experiment with a puck of mass 2m, pushing with the same force, a. How long will you have to push for the puck to reach the same speed v?
b. How long will you have to push for the puck to travel the same distance d?
An object with cross section A is shot horizontally across frictionless ice. Its initial velocity is at . Air resistance is not negligible.
a. Show that the velocity at time t is given by the expression
b. A -wide, -high, car with a drag coefficient of hits a very slick patch of ice while going . If friction is neglected, how long will it take until the car鈥檚 speed drops to ? To ?
c. Assess whether or not it is reasonable to neglect kinetic friction.
