Chapter 1: Q9DQ (page 159)

A crate slides up an inclined ramp and then slides down the ramp after momentarily stopping near the top. There is kinetic friction between the surface of the ramp and the crate. Which is greater? (i) The crate鈥檚 acceleration going up the ramp; (ii) the crate鈥檚 acceleration going down the ramp; (iii) both are the same. Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The greater acceleration is when (i) the crate鈥檚 acceleration going up the ramp.

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 greater acceleration

When the crate is going up the ramp, the frictional force is working at the same direction of the weight鈥檚 component of the block. When the crate is going down the ramp, the frictional force is working at the opposite direction of the weight鈥檚 component of the block. Hence, as the frictional force acts in the opposite direction, the acceleration of the block while going downwards is lesser.

Thus, the greater acceleration is when (i) the crate鈥檚 acceleration going up the ramp.

In 2005 astronomers announced the discovery of large black hole in the galaxy Markarian 766 having clumps of matter orbiting around once every27鈥�hours and moving at30,000鈥�km/s . (a) How far these clumps from the center of the black hole? (b) What is the mass of this black hole, assuming circular orbits? Express your answer in kilogram and as a multiple of sun鈥檚 mass. (c) What is the radius of event horizon?

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10.0 s of its motion, the vertical acceleration of the rocket is given by ay = (2.80 m/s3) t, where the +y-direction is upward. (a) What is the height of the rocket above the surface of the earth at t = 10.0 s? (b) What is the speed of the rocket when it is 325 m above the surface of the earth?

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?

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars鈥檚 orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun鈥揗ars line and a sun鈥揺arth line be? Use
