A 110 ghockey puck sent sliding over ice is stopped in 15 mby the frictional force on it from the ice.

(a) If its initial speed is 6.0 m/s, what is the magnitude of the frictional force?

(b) What is the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice?

Short Answer

a)f=0.13Nb)μK=0.12

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • The mass of the hockey puck is m=110g.
  • The distance traveled before stopping iss=15m.
  • The initial velocity of the hockey puck isv0=6m/s.
  • The final velocity of the hockey puck is v=0m/s.

Understanding the concept

This problem is based on the kinematic equations of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration. Use kinematics equations to calculate the acceleration and frictional force. We can calculate the kinetic friction coefficient from the frictional force.

Force:

v2=vo2+2as

(a)Calculate the magnitude of the frictional force if its initial speed is 6.0 m/s

The free body diagram of the hockey puck is shown below:

To calculate the acceleration expression, use kinematics equations:

v2=vo2+2as

The final velocity is zero, and the expression can be written as:

a=-vo2/2s

To calculate frictional force, use Newton’s second law of motion:

f=ma=mvo22s

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

f=0.115kg×6m/s2×15mf=0.13N

Thus, the magnitude of the friction force is0.13N.

04

(b) Calculate the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice

To calculate the kinetic frictional coefficient, use the formula for kinetic friction:

μkmg=f

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

μk=0.13N0.115kg×9.8m/s2μk=0.12

Thus, the coefficient of friction is 0.12.

A slide-loving pig slides down a certain35slide in twice the time it would take to slide down a frictionless35slide.What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pig and the slide?

In Fig. 6-37, a slab of mass m1=40kgrests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mas m2=10kgrests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force of magnitude 100Nbegins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?

During a routine flight in 1956, test pilot Tom Attridge put his jet fighter into a20°dive for a test of the aircraft’s 20 mmmachine cannons. While traveling faster than sound at 4000 m altitude, he shot a burst of rounds. Then, after allowing the cannons to cool, he shot another burst at 2000 m; his speed was then344 m/s, the speed of the rounds relative to him was 730 m/s, and he was still in a dive. Almost immediately the canopy around him was shredded and his right air intake was damaged. With little flying capability left, the jet crashed into a wooded area, but Attridge managed to escape the resulting explosion. Explain what apparently happened just after the second burst of cannon rounds. (Attridge has been the only pilot who has managed to shoot himself down.)

A block is pushed across a floor by a constant force that is applied at downward angle θ(Fig. 6-19). Figure 6-36 gives the acceleration magnitude a versus a range of values for the coefficient of kinetic friction μkbetween block and floor: a1=3.0m/s, μk2=0.20, μk3=0.40.What is the value of θ?

Continuation of Problem 8. Now assume that Eq. 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on the typical 20kgstone, which presents to the wind a vertical cross-sectional area of0.040m2and has a drag coefficient C of0.80. (a) In kilometers per hour, what wind speedValong the ground is needed to maintain the stone’s motion once it has started moving? Because winds along the ground are retarded by the ground, the wind speeds reported for storms are often measured at a height of10m. Assume wind speeds are2.00 times those along the ground. (b) For your answer to (a), what wind speed would be reported for the storm? (c) Is that value reasonable for a high-speed wind in a storm?
