Anna Shcherbakova is a 2022 Beijing Olympics figure skating gold medalist for ladies’ singles. After warming up she starts her practice by skating towards the middle of the ice rink, 14 meters from the entrance. However, this time, one of her friends decided to trick her by pushing her towards the middle at a velocity of 1.2 m/s (disregard friction between the ice and her skates). Recovering from the shock 2 seconds after, she starts pushing herself forward at an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2. What velocity will she have when she reaches the middle of the rink?

A basketball player of mass m=88.4 kg jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body d1=0.44 m, then he accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a speed sufficient to carry him d2=0.56 m above the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with which the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with wiich the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the acceleration, a, of the basketball player during the leg-straightening. Write an expression for the force upward force, FN, exerted on the basketball player by the floor during the leg straightening. What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force FN while the player is straightening his legs?
A box with mass m sits at the bottom of a long ramp thatis sloped upward at an angle a above the horizontal. You give the boxa quick shove, and after it leaves your hands it is moving up the rampwith an initial speed v0. The box travels a distance d up the ramp andthen slides back down. When it returns to its starting point, the speedof the box is half the speed it started with; it has speed v0 /2. What isthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp? (Youranswer should depend on only a.)
A 80.0 kg skater with the Birmingham Bulls hockey team with an initial speed of 7.8 m/s stops propelling himself and begins to coast across the ice, eventually coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and the skate blades is 0.100, and air resistance can be neglected. How far will the skater travel before coming to rest?
As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 54.5 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.30 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine the following. (a) the salmon's acceleration m/s2 upward (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval
As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by a tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 48.5 kg. if this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 5.80 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface. what is the magnitude of the force F during the interval
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
As a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.
Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.3 kgkg gibbon has an arm length (hand to shoulder) of 0.60 mm. We can model its motion as that of a point mass swinging at the end of a 0.60-mm-long, massless rod. At the lowest point of its swing, the gibbon is moving at 3.7 m/sm/s . What upward force must a branch provide to support the swinging gibbon?
While driving to work one day, I was holding my coffee mug in my left hand while changing the radio station with my right hand. Then my cell phone rang, so I placed the mug on the flat part of my dashboard. Then, believe it or not, a deer ran out of the woods and onto the road right in front of me. Fortunately, my reaction time was zero, and I was able to stop from a speed of 17 m/s in a mere 50 m, just barely avoiding the deer, without the coffee mug sliding. The mug (with coffee) had a mass of 550 g, and the mass of the deer was 150 kg. Part A What is the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the mug and the dashboard? Hg =
A rocket sled accelerates to 41 m/s. When the rocket engine stops, the sled skids along its rails. If the coefficient of friction is 0.5 and its mass is 1000 kg, how fast is the sled moving after 2.2 s?
The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes 0.64 s for it to reach the floor. What is the mass m of the block on the left? There is no friction or mass in the pulley, and the connecting rope is very light.
A student pushes a 12-kg block on a frictionless, horizontal surface. If the block is initially at rest, what is the speed of the block after the student pushes the block for 5 seconds with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s/s? O 2.0 m/s 6.0 m/s 10 m/s 60 m/s
