Question: Some sliding rocks approach the base of a hill with a speed of . The hill rises at 36掳 above the horizontal and has coefficients of kinetic friction and static friction of 0.45 and 0.65, respectively, with these rocks. (a) Find the acceleration of the rocks as they slide up the hill. (b) Once a rock reaches its highest point, will it stay there or slide down the hill? If it stays, show why. If it slides, find its acceleration on the way down.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The required acceleration of the rocks as they slide up the hill is, -9.32m/s2.

b) Once the rock reaches its highest point, it will slide down the hill and the required acceleration of the rocks on the way down is2.19m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  • The speed of the rock is, v=12m/s.
  • The angle of the hill is, =36.
  • The coefficient of kinetic friction is, k=0.45.
  • The coefficient of static friction is, s=0.65.
02

Significance of coefficient of friction

The coefficient of friction is the amount of friction that occurs when one surface slides over another surface. The less value of coefficient of friction indicates that less force is required for sliding a surface over another surface.

03

Determination of acceleration as rock slid up the hill.

From the free body diagram as shown above the expression for force at y-axis can be expressed as,

Fy=0RN-mgcos=0RN=mgcos

HereRN is the normal reaction force, m is the mass of the rock, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The expression for the force at x-axis can be expressed as,

Fx=ma-mgsin-fk=ma-mgsin-kRN=ma

Herek is the coefficient of kinetic friction, a is the acceleration.

Substitute mgcosfor RNin the above equation.

-mgsin-k(mgcos)=maa=-g(sin+kcos)

Substitute 9.8m/s2for g, 36for , and 0.45 for kin the above equation.

a=-(9.8m/s2)(sin36+0.45cos36)a=-9.32m/s2

Hence, the required acceleration is, -9.32m/s2.

04

Determination of acceleration on the way down.

From the free body diagram the force on y-axis can be expressed as,

Fy=0RN-mgcos=0RN=mgcos

From the free body diagram the force on x-axis can be expressed as,

Fx=-ma-mgsin+fk=mamgsin-kRN=ma

Substitute mgcosfor RNin the above equation.

mgsin-k(mgcos)=maa=g(sin-kcos)

Substitute 9.8m/s2for g,36 for , and0.45 fork in the above equation.

a=(9.8m/s2)(sin36-0.45cos36)a=2.19m/s2

Hence, the required acceleration is, 2.19m/s2.

A driver in Massachusetts was sent to traffic court for speeding. The evidence against the driver was that a policewoman observed the driver鈥檚 car alongside a second car at a certain moment, and the policewoman had already clocked the second car going faster than the speed limit. The driver argued, 鈥淭he second car was passing me. I was not speeding.鈥 The judge ruled against the driver because, in the judge鈥檚 words, 鈥淚f two cars were side by side, both of you were speeding.鈥 If you were a lawyer representing the accused driver, how would you argue this case?

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/spasses you. When the rear of the bus 12 m ispast you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of0.960m/s2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?
