Newtons second law of motion

A boat has a mass of 6800 kg. Its engine generates a drive force of 4100 N, due west, while the wind exerts a force of 800 N, due east, and the water exerts a resistive force of 1200 N due east. What is the magnitude and direction of the boats acceleration?

Nonequilibrium Applications of Newtons laws of motion

A crate is resting on a ramp that is inclined at a angle (theta) above the horizontal. As (theta) is increased, the crate remains in place until (theta) reaches a value of 38.0 degrees. Then the crate begins to slide down the slope. (a) Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp surface. (b) The ...continues

Work Done By constant Force

A 75.0 kg man is riding an escalator in a shopping mall. The escalator moves the man at a constant velocity from ground level to the floor above, a vertical height of 4.60 m. What is the work done on the man by (a)the gravitational force and (B) the escalator?

Energy Theorem and Kinetic Energy - A fighter jet is launched from an aircraft carrier with the aid of its own engines and a steam-powered catapult. The thrust of its engines is 2.3 x 10^5 N. In being launched from rest it moves through a distance of 87 m and has a kinetic energy of 4.5 x 10^7 J at lift-off. What is the work done on the jet by the catapult?

Energy Theorem and Kinetic Energy

A 16-kg sled is being pulled along the horizontal snow-covered ground by a force of 24 N. Starting from rest, the sled attains a speed of 2.0 m/s in 8.0 m. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the runners of the sled and the snow.

The Conservation of Mechanical Energy

A 47.0-g golf ball is driven from the tee with an initial speed of 52.0 m/s and rises to a height of 24.6 m. (a) Neglect air resistance and determine the kinetic energy of the ball at its highest point. (b) What is its speed when it is 8.0 m below its highest point?

Power

A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude 22 N on the free end of the crank handle, and this end moves in a circular path of radius 0.28 m. The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every 1.3 s, what is the average power being expended?

Kinetic frictional force

A 63 kg skier coasts up a snow-covered hill that makes an angle of 25 degrees with the horizontal. The initial speed of the skier is 6.6 m/s. After coasting a distance of 1.9 m up the slope, the speed of the skier is 4.4 m/s. (a) Find the work done by the kinetic frictional force that acts on the skis. (b) What is the magnitude ...continues

The Impluse-Momentum Theorem

A 62.0 kg person, standing on a diving board, dives straight down into the water. Just before striking the water, her speed is 5.50 m/s. At a time of 1.65 s after she enters the water, her speed is reduced to 1.10 m/s. What is the net average force (magnitude and direction) that acts on her when she is in the water?

The Impulse- Momentum Theorum

A baseball (m = 149 g ) approaches a bat horizontally at a speed of 40.2 m/s (90 mi/h) and is hit straight back at a speed of 45.6 m/s (102 mi/h). If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.10 ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat? Neglect the weight of the ball, since it is so much less than t ...continues
