An object with cross section A is shot horizontally across frictionless ice. Its initial velocity is v0xat t0=0s. Air resistance is not negligible.

a. Show that the velocity at time t is given by the expression

vx=v0x1+CAv0xt/2m

b. A 1.6-m-wide, 1.4-m-high, 1500kgcar with a drag coefficient of 0.35hits a very slick patch of ice while going 20m/s. If friction is neglected, how long will it take until the car鈥檚 speed drops to 10m/s? To 5m/s?

c. Assess whether or not it is reasonable to neglect kinetic friction.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. derivation of the velocity at time t.

b. time taken for car to drop its speed is 312.5s

c. Its absurd. so that kinetic friction were neglected.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

cross section of the object A

Initial velocity v0xat t=0s

velocity at time t=vx

Coefficient of drag C

density of air

mass of the objectm

02

Explanation (part a)

From Newton's second law

F=ma

The drag force is

D=12CA(vx)2

Consider the negative sign for drag force as it acts opposite to the net force and equal the drag force.

ma=12CA(vx)2a=CA2m(vx)2

Here a=dvxdt

Therefore, we get role="math" localid="1650212860312" dvxdt=CA2m(vx)2dvx(vx)2=CA2mdt

On integrating the above equation, we get

v0xvxdvx(vx)2=CA2m0tdt-1(vx)v0xvx=CA2mt0t

vx=v0x1+CAv0xt/2m

Conclusion: The expression for velocity at time thas been derived.

03

Given information (part b)

length of the car l=1.6m

height of the car h=1.4m

mass of the car m=1500kg

drag coefficient C=0.35

Initial velocity role="math" localid="1650213612097" v0x=10m/s

Final velocity vx=5m/s

density of air=1.225kg/m3

04

Explanation (part b)

The velocity expression at time tis given by

vx=v0x1+CAv0xt/2m

Plugging all the values in the above equation, we get

5=101+(0.35)(1.225)(1.61.4)(10)t215005=101+(0.35)(1.225)(1.61.4)(10)t215005=101+0.0032t1+0.0032t=2t=312.5sec

The time taken for the car to drop its speed312.5secs.

05

Explanation (part c)

If we consider an object that moves by inertia with the drag or frictional force,the net force is not zero and the motion will be decelerated (non-uniform), and we will have to introduce new forces to make it uniform, which is absurd. That is why we neglect the mentioned forces.

You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 25掳. You鈥檙e sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is at the edge of the roof directly below you, 5.0 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.5 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.55, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?

A 10kg crate is placed on a horizontal conveyor belt. The materials are such that s= 0.5and k= 0.3.

a. Draw a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the crate if the conveyor belt runs at constant speed.

b. Draw a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the crate if the conveyor belt is speeding up.

c. What is the maximum acceleration the belt can have without the crate slipping?

The three ropes in FIGUREEX6.1are tied to a small, very light ring. Two of these ropes are anchored to walls at right angles with the tensions shown in the figure. What are the magnitude and direction of the tension T3in the third rope?

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.
