You push a file cabinet up a frictionless ramp tilted at 10°with horizontal. The file cabinet has a mass of 100 kg and you are pushing with a 700 N force in the direction up along the ramp. The file cabinet has initial speed of 2.0 m/s. It’s moved 8.0 m up along the ramp. What is the final speed of the cabinet?
previous problem: A small block slides down a frictionless track whose shape is described by y = (x^2) /d for x<0 and by y = -(x^2)/d for x>0. The value of d is 3.85 m, and x and y are measured in meters as usual. Suppose the block starts from rest on the track, at x = -1.99 m. What will the block s speed be when it reaches x = 0? New problem Same type of track as in the previous problem, this time with d = 4.73 m. The block starts at x = 0, and is given a push to the left with an initial speed of 7.57 m/s, so it starts sliding up the track to the left. At what value of x will the block reverse direction and start sliding back down? -3.72 m 3.72 m 2.92 m -2.92 m
Consider the frictionless water slide in the figure below. h₁ h₂ B 1. If a 13.00kg dog starts from rest and slides down the water slide, which has a height of h₁-8.00m, determine the speed of the dog at point A when it leaves the slide. m S 2. If the dog takes 0.90s to reach the water, what is h₂, the height of the slide's exit point? (HINT: The dog's velocity when it leaves the slide is only in the horizontal direction.) 7.94m 3.97m 15.24m 11.27m Less than Equal 3. If the slide had friction, would the dog's velocity at point A be greater than, less than, or equal to the velocity without friction? Greater than
You push a 80-kg file cabinet to the right on a frictionless horizontal surface with a force of 175 N from rest, the cabinet moves a distance of 12 m. What is the final speed of the cabinet, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
