Chapter 6: Q.25 (page 155)

A stubborn, 120 kg mule sits down and refuses to move. To drag the mule to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around the mule and pulls with his maximum force of 800 N. The coefficients of friction between the mule and the ground are ms = 0.8 and mk = 0.5. Is the farmer able to move the mule?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The farmer will not move the mule.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

A force is a push or pull on an object caused by the interaction of the thing with another object. Every time two things interact; a force is exerted on each of them. The two items no longer feel the force after the interaction ends.

02

Content Explanation

We are given values wheremis mass,Fis maximum force,coefficientoffriction渭s,coefficientofground渭k

m=120kgF=800N渭s=0.80渭k=0.50

The graph so formed is

If ff > F, the farmer will not move the mule.

A rifle with a barrel length of 60cm fires a 10g bullet with a horizontal speed of 400m/s. The bullet strikes a block of wood and penetrates to a depth of 12cm.

a. What resistive force (assumed to be constant) does the wood exert on the bullet?

b. How long does it take the bullet to come to rest?

It takes the elevator in a skyscraper 4.0 s to reach its cruising speed of 10 m/s. A 60 kg passenger gets aboard on the ground floor. What is the passenger鈥檚 weight

a. Before the elevator starts moving?

b. While the elevator is speeding up?

c. After the elevator reaches its cruising speed?

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 1 m 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 5 mm.

a. A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is 15 m/s. 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.
