Your kneecap (patella) is attached by a tendon to your quadriceps muscle. This tendon pulls at a 10 angle relative to the femur, the bone of your upper leg. The patella is also attached to your lower leg (tibia) by a tendon that pulls parallel to the leg. To balance these forces, the end of your femur pushes outward on the patella. Bending your knee increases the tension in the tendons, and both have a tension of 60 N when the knee is bent to make a 70 angle between the upper and lower leg. What force does the femur exert on the kneecap in this position?

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a crumple zone in the front of the car.

Large objects have inertia and tend to keep movingNewtons first law. Life is very different for small microorganisms that swim through water. For them, drag forces are so large that they instantly stop, without coasting, if they cease their swimming motion. To swim at constant speed, they must exert a constant propulsion force by rotating corkscrew-like flagella or beating hair-like cilia. The quadratic model of drag of Equation 6.15 fails for very small particles. Instead, a small object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force, F u drag = (bv, direction opposite the motion), where b is a constant.

A block of mass m is at rest at the origin at t = 0. It is pushed with constant force F0 from x = 0 to x = L across a horizontal surface whose coefficient of kinetic friction is mk = m011 - x/L2. That is, the coefficient of friction decreases from m0 at x = 0 to zero at x = L. a. Use what youve learned in calculus to prove that ax = vx dvx dx b. Find an expression for the blocks speed as it reaches position L

A spring-loaded toy gun exerts a variable force on a plastic ball as the spring expands. Consider a horizontal spring and a ball of mass m whose position when barely touching a fully expanded spring is x = 0. The ball is pushed to the left, compressing the spring. Youll learn in Chapter 9 that the spring force on the ball, when the ball is at position x (which is negative), can be written as 1FSp2x = -kx, where k is called the spring constant. The minus sign is needed to make the x-component of the force positive. Suppose the ball is initially pushed to x0 = -L, then released and shot to the right. a. Use what youve learned in calculus to prove that ax = vx dvx dx b. Find an expression, in terms of m, k, and L, for the speed of the ball as it comes off the spring at x = 0

FIGURE CP6.75 shows an accelerometer, a device for measuring the horizontal acceleration of cars and airplanes. A ball is free to roll on a parabolic track described by the equation y = x2 , where both x and y are in meters. A scale along the bottom is used to measure the balls horizontal position x. a. Find an expression that allows you to use a measured position x (in m) to compute the acceleration ax (in m/s2 ). (For example, ax = 3x is a possible expression.) b. What is the acceleration if x = 20 cm?

An object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force: F u drag = (bv, direction opposite the motion), where b is a constant called the drag coefficient. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be computed as b = 6phR, where h is the viscosity of the liquid. a. Find an algebraic expression for vx1t2, the x-component of velocity as a function of time, for a spherical particle of radius R and mass m that is shot horizontally with initial speed v0 through a liquid of viscosity h. b. Water at 20C has viscosity h = 1.0 * 10-3 N s/m2 . Suppose a 4.0-cm-diameter, 33 g ball is shot horizontally into a tank of 20C water. How long will it take for the horizontal speed to decrease to 50% of its initial value?

An object with cross section A is shot horizontally across frictionless ice. Its initial velocity is v0x at t0 = 0 s. Air resistance is not negligible. a. Show that the velocity at time t is given by the expression vx = v0x 1 + CrAv0x t/2m b. A 1.6-m-wide, 1.4-m-high, 1500 kg car with a drag coefficient of 0.35 hits a very slick patch of ice while going 20 m/s. If friction is neglected, how long will it take until the cars speed drops to 10 m/s? To 5 m/s? c. Assess whether or not it is reasonable to neglect kinetic friction
