- Three solid, uniform boxes are aligned as in the figure below. Find the x- and y-coordinates (in m) of the center of mass of the three boxes, measured from the bottom left corner of box A.

The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m long. The lowest he can get his center of mass is 0.10 m above the ground, and the highest he can get it before he can no longer push against the ground is 0.40 m If the maximum force the dog can exert on the ground in pushing off is 2.1 times the gravitational force Earth exerts on him, how high can he jump? Express your answer with the appropriate units. .arrow_forwardA 84 kg athlete has his center of gravity 1.19 meters above the ground in a standing position (height that person comes off the ground during a jump). During a squat jump, he crouches down so that his centre of gravity is 0.75 meters above the ground. As he jumps, he exerts an average force of 1280 Newtons against the ground. You can think of this average exerted force as the average normal force or average ground reaction force being read by the force plate during the takeoff phase of the jump. a) Determine the maximum height that the person’s center of mass will reach in meters using the concepts of Work and Energy. b) What is magnitude of the person’s vertical velocity in m/s just as his feet leave the ground during the maximal vertical jump?arrow_forward
- A movie stuntman (mass kg) stands on a window ledge 5.0 m above the floor (Figure 1). Grabbing a rope attached to a chandelier, he swings down to grapple with the movie's villain (mass 70.0 kg), who is standing directly under the chandelier. (Assume that the stuntman's center of mass moves downward 5.0 m. He releases the rope just as he reaches the villain.) With what speed do the entwined foes start to slide across the floor? If the coefficient of kinetic friction of their bodies with the floor is k = 0.230, how far do they slide?arrow_forwardA person is crossing a bridge. The bridge is 3.2 meters long and is 25 kg. One side of the bridge rests on the ground while the other side of the bridge is elevated 25 degrees above the ground. The end of the bridge that is elevated is connected to a rope, which is attached to a overhanging section of a cliff. The person walking across is 62 kg, and walks three quarters of the way to the rope end of the bridge then stops. Please determine the magnitude of the force that the ground exerts on the bridge. (use image for reference)arrow_forwardA body is traveling at 2.0 m/s along the positive direction of an x axis; no net force acts on the body. An internal explosion sepa-rates the body into two parts, each of 4.0 kg, and increases the total kinetic energy by 16 J. The forward part continues to move in the original direction of motion. What are the speeds of (a) the rear part and (b) the forward part?arrow_forward
- A father (mF = 90 kg) and his daughter (mD= 42 kg) stand on a flat frozen lake of negligible friction. They hold a 12 m long rope stretched between them. The father and daughter then pull the rope to bring them together. If the father is initially standing at the origin, how far from the origin will they meet?arrow_forwardHello I needed help with this question: As shown in the figure below, cars #1 and #2 are sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface. The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m1 = 16.5 kg and m2 = 46.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during and after the collision. Determine the velocity (in m/s) of car #2 before the collision.arrow_forwardThree solid, uniform boxes are aligned as in the figure below. Find the x- and y-coordinates (in m) of the center of mass of the three boxes, measured from the bottom left corner of box A. (Consider the three- box system.)

The gunman fired a shot and it hit a wooden block instead and not the criminal and the bullet remained inside the wooden block. The bullet's mass is 7.00kg and the wooden block's mass is 1.25kg. The bullet travelled 1.30m into the wooden block with a coefficient friction .480. What would be the initial speed of this bullet? Thank you.
