91Ó°ÊÓ

A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 2.5. Its velocity at point Ais 8.0m/sand at point Bis 5.0m/s. Use the momentum principle to find how long the sled takes to travel from AtoB.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time taken by sled to travel from AtoBis t=1.2s

Step by step solution

01

Given information  

We need to find that how long the sled takes to travel from Ato BUsing the momentum principle.

02

Calculation    

The impulse-momentum theorem we have is

Fâ–³t=mâ–³v

We can express from here the time force Fthat is required for mass mcontaining bodies to undergo speed changes â–³vas

â–³t=mâ–³vF.

The force is friction one so, we have

△t=m△vμmg=△vμg.

After subtituting numerically, we have

△t=8.0-5.0(0.25)×(9.8)=1.2s

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed of 20 m/s. The ball rebounds at 40 m/s.

a. How fast is her racket moving immediately after the impact? You can ignore the interaction of the racket with her hand for the brief duration of the collision.

b. If the tennis ball and racket are in contact for 10 ms, what is the average force that the racket exerts on the ball? How does this compare to the gravitational force on the ball?

Dan is gliding on his skateboard at 4.0m/s. He suddenly jumps backward off the skateboard, kicking the skateboard forward at 8.0m/s. How fast is Dan going as his feet hit the ground? Dan’s mass is 50kg and the skateboard’s mass is 5.0kg.

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.0 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 1.0 m/s. The balls have a glancing collision, not a head-on collision, deflecting the second ball by 90° and sending it north at 1.41 m/s. What are the speed and direction of the first ball after the collision? Give the direction as an angle south of east.

FIGURE EX11.7 is an incomplete momentum bar chart for a 50 g particle that experiences an impulse lasting 10ms. What were the speed and direction of the particle before the impulse?

A 10mlong glider with a mass of 680kg(including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at when a 60kgskydiver drops out by releasing his grip on the glider. What is the glider’s velocity just after the skydiver lets go?
