/5 1. A toboggan and rider have a combined mass of 75.0kg. The toboggan is sliding down a hill that
has an angle of elevation of 37.0° and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.270.
a. Calculate the acceleration of the toboggan down the hill.
b. Assuming the toboggan starts from rest, how fast will it be going if it slides 11.0m down
the hill?
/6 5. One of Jupiter’s moons called Europa, is observed to have a radius of orbit around Jupiter of
6.71x108m. Europa takes 3.546 earth days to make one orbit around Jupiter.
a. Calculate the mass of Jupiter (show your calculations).
b. Predict the time it would take another one of its moons, Thebe, to make one orbit
around Jupiter if the radius of its orbit is 2.22x108m.
/3 7. A 2500kg car is driving around a circular corner that has a radius of 33m. The coefficients of
friction are µs=0.80 and µk=0.60. What is the maximum speed the car can be travelling to drive
around this corner without sliding?
/4 8. The following formula can be used to calculate the maximum speed on a banked corner:
𝑟𝑔(𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 + 𝜇𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃)
𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 = √
(𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 − 𝜇𝑠 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃)
a. Calculate the maximum speed of a car on a banked corner, given the following
parameters (assume 2 significant figures in your answer).
m=2,500kg, r = 35m, Ɵ=24°, µk=0.70, µs=0.90,
a. If you wanted to maintain the same speed as in part a, but now the track was icy and
there was zero friction (i.e. µ=0), what is the minimum radius the turn could have
(assuming the same angle on the banked corner).
