Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
Two people are pulling a heavy 95 kg box across the floor as shown in the figure. Person A is pulling in the x-direction
only with a force of 20 N. Person B is pulling at an angle e = 40° above the x-direction, also with a force of 20 N. What is
the total pulling force on the box in the x-direction?
Dave with a mass of 60 kg goes tubing down a 20 m long hill that has an angle off the horizon of 25º. (Gravity applies)
a. He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his initial velocity is 2 m/s. How far up the hill will he go before stopping? (there’s no friction)
b. He goes back down the hill and then his friend Jill tries to pull him on the tube across a small patch of grass (μk=0.30). If she is pulling parallel to the ground at constant 5 m/s for 5 sec how much power does she expend?
c. After climbing back uphill, Dave decided to roll down the hill instead. If he were to be a long cylinder with a radius of 0.1 m, what is his moment of inertia?
d. After rolling without slipping down the hill, what is Dave’s final velocity at the bottom of the hill? What is his angular velocity at the bottom of the hill?
