A -diameter, beach ball is dropped with a ant riding on the top. The ball experiences air resistance, but the ant does not. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the ant when the ball’s speed is ?
A box is on a frictionless slope and is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging weight. The picture for this situation is similar to FIGURE P.
a. What is the tension in the string if the box is held in place, so that it cannot move?
b. If the box is then released, which way will it move on the slope?
c. What is the tension in the string once the box begins to move?
Your forehead can withstand a force of about before fracturing, while your cheekbone can withstand only about . Suppose a baseball traveling at strikes your head and stops in
a. What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball?
b. What force does the baseball exert on your head? Explain.
c. Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead? On the cheek?
While driving to work last year, I was holding my coffee mug in my left hand while changing the CD with my right hand. Then the cell phone rang, so I placed the mug on the flat part of my dashboard. Then, believe it or not, a deer ran out of the woods and on to the road right in front of me. Fortunately, my reaction time was zero, and I was able to stop from a speed of in a mere , just barely avoiding the deer. Later tests revealed that the static and kinetic coefficients of friction of the coffee mug on the dash are and , respectively; the coffee and mug had a mass of ; and the mass of the deer was Did my coffee mug slide?
