Question 1
FF = 91.1 N
FF = µN in this case N = mg µ = FF / mg
µ = 0.93
0.89 m/s2
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 30o slope at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s
The coefficient of friction between the tube and the snow is 0.3.
At one point, a particular tube breaks loose and slides down the hill
Newton's 2nd Law - parallel to surface Newton's 2nd Law - perpendicular to surface
b) What is the force of friction between the tube and the ground?
c) What amount of force must be applied to move the tube at constant speed? (2 points)
FA = 29.81 N
d) What is the speed of the tube 2 seconds after it breaks loose? (1 point)
v2 = v1 + at v2 = v1 + at v2 = -1.5 + 2.36 x 2
v2 = 1.22 m/s
