A house painter uses the chair-and-pulley arrangement of FIGURE Pto lift himself up the side of a house. The painter’s mass is and the chair’s mass is . With what force must he pull down on the rope in order to accelerate upward at ?
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?
You find yourself in the middle of a frozen lake with a surface so slippery you cannot walk. However, you happen to have several rocks in your pocket. The ice is extremely hard. It cannot be chipped, and the rocks slip on it just as much as your feet do. Can you think of a way to get to shoreUse pictures, forces, and Newton's laws to explain your reasoning.
A diameter, tall, hollow cylinder is placed on top of a -diameter, -tall, cylinder of solid aluminum, then the two are sent sliding across frictionless ice. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the cylinders are and , respectively. Air resistance cannot be neglected. What is the maximum speed the cylinders can have without the top cylinder sliding off?
