Chapter 1: Q8DQ (page 159)

A block rests on an inclined plane with enough friction to prevent it from sliding down. To start the block moving is it easier to push it up the plane or down the plane? Why?

Short Answer

Expert verified

To start the block moving, it is easier to push it down the plane.

Step by step solution

01

Significance of the friction

The friction is described as the force that resists the relative motion of the solid surfaces. The frictional force is equal to the product of the frictional coefficient and the normal force.

02

Determination of the pushing of the block

When the block is being pushed down an inclined surface, then the static frictional force acts that is helpful for pushing the block down an inclined plane. But when the block is pulled up, the frictional component does not work and it takes a large amount of force to push the block.

Thus, to start the block moving, it is easier to push it down the plane.

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient鈥檚 artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20脳104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15脳104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient鈥檚 blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient鈥檚 artery is blocked by the plaque?

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car鈥檚 distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equationxt=伪t2-尾t3 where role="math" localid="1655226337795" 伪=1.50鈥�m/s2androle="math" localid="1655226362269" 尾=0.0500m/s2 . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.

Calculate the earth鈥檚 gravity force on a 75-kg astronaut who is repairing the Hubble Space Telescope 600 km above the earth鈥檚 surface, and then compare this value with his weight at the earth鈥檚 surface. In view of your result, explain why it is said that astronauts are weightless when they orbit the earth in a satellite such as a space shuttle. Is it because the gravitational pull of the earth is negligibly small?
