Warm Up A ski hill has a slope of 40 degrees. If the coefficient of friction between a skier’s skis and the snow is 0.1 what will be the acceleration of the skier (mass = 60 kg)? A) Draw a Free body Diagram B) Find the Normal Force C) Find the x component of gravity D) Find the force of friction E) Find the acceleration down the slope
Homework Worksheet
Tension Force in/along a rope. Whenever a rope is supporting/pulling an object we call that F push or F pull T for tension
Example What is the tension in a rope handing straight down from the ceiling supporting a 100 kg mass?
Practice For the following situations draw an FBD and find the tension in the rope. Hanging straight down the rope supports a mass of: A) 10 kg B) 55 kg C) kg D) 67.1 kg
Example A penguin is pulled along a frictionless, icy surface. The mass of the penguin is 4 kg, and it’s acceleration is 2 m/s2. A) Draw a FBD B) What is the tension in the rope pulling the penguin?
Practice A Polar Bear is pulled along a frictionless, icy surface. The mass of the Polar Bear is 235 kg, and its acceleration is 0.5 m/s2. A) Draw a FBD of the situation B) What is the tension in the rope pulling the polar bear?
