Dynamics 1 Test V1C

A 10-kg cart was pulled along a horizontal surface under a constant force of 50 N. It took 1.5 seconds for the cart to move 2 m. The cart was initially at rest. The force of friction was 32.2 N. The coefficient of friction was 0.33. The cart's acceleration was 1.78 m/s^2 and its final speed was 2.67 m/s. A tube with a mass of 4.5 kg on a ski slope with a 35 degree incline breaks loose from being pulled at 0.8 m/s. The normal force on the tube is 36.16 N. The force of friction is 9.04 N. The required force

Dynamics 1 Test V1C

Question 1

A 10-kg cart was pulled along a horizontal surface


under a constant force of 50 N. F = 50 N

It took 1.5 seconds for the cart to move 2 m.

The cart was initially at rest. 2m

a) What was the force of friction in this situation? (4 points)

Find acceleration: d = at2 /2 a = 1.78 m/s2

Newton's 2nd Law equation in horizontal direction

FA = force exterted to pull cart FA - FF = ma FF = FA - ma

FF = 32.2 N

b) What was the coefficient of friction in this situation? (3 points)

FF = µN in this case N = mg µ = FF / mg

µ = 0.33

c) What was the cart's acceleration? (2 points)

1.78 m/s2

d) What was the cart's final speed? (1 point)

2.67 m/s
Question 2

At a ski resort, a tube lift service is offered that pulls the snow tubes uphill, as illustrated in the diagram
below. A rope is used to pull the tubes up a 35o slope at a constant speed of 0.8 m/s

A tube has a mass of 4.5 kg.

The coefficient of friction between the tube and the snow is 0.25.

At one point, a particular tube breaks loose and slides down the hill

35o

Newton's 2nd Law - parallel to surface Newton's 2nd Law - perpendicular to surface

FA - FG// - FF = ma// N - FG^ = 0

a) What amount of normal force is exerted by the ground on the tube?

N = FG^ N = m x g x cos q N = 4.5 x 9.81 x cos 35 N = 36.16 N

b) What is the force of friction between the tube and the ground?

Ff = µN Ff = 0.25 x 36.16 Ff = 9.04 N

c) What amount of force must be applied to move the tube at constant speed? (2 points)

FA - FG// - FF = 0 FA = FG// + FF FA = m x g x sin q + Ff

FA = 34.36 N

d) What is the speed of the tube 4 seconds after it breaks loose? (1 point)

FG// - FF = ma// m x g x sin q - Ff = ma// 4.5x9.81xsin35 - 9.04 a// = 3.61 m/s2

v2 = v1 + at v2 = v1 + at v2 = -0.8 + 3.61 x 4

v2 = 13.66 m/s
