A 15.0-lb block rests on a horizontal floor. (a) What force does the floor exert on the block? (b) A rope is tied to the block and is run vertically over a pulley. The other end is attached to a free-...
See AnswerQ: The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that
The average person passes out at an acceleration of 7g (that is, seven times the gravitational acceleration on Earth). Suppose a car is designed to accelerate at this rate. How much time would be requ...
See AnswerQ: Objects of masses m1 = 4.00 kg and m2 =
Objects of masses m1 = 4.00 kg and m2 = 9.00 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure P4.70. The object m1 is held at rest on the floor, and m2 rests on a...
See AnswerQ: Two blocks each of mass m = 3.50 kg are
Two blocks each of mass m = 3.50 kg are fastened to the top of an elevator as in Figure P4.56. (a) If the elevator has an upward acceleration a = 1.60 m/s2, find the tensions T1 and T2 in the upper an...
See AnswerQ: As a protest against the umpire’s calls, a baseball pitcher throws
As a protest against the umpire’s calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 20.0 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.50 m. If the ball h...
