    Py = P sin 600 = 0.866 P; N = 100 N + 0.866 P

    0.5 P 173.2 N + 40 N + 0.346 P = 0 Solving for P gives: P = 157 N(b) If P were parallel to the plane, the normal force would be LESS, and therefore the

    friction force would be reduced. Since the friction force is directed UP the plane, it isactually helping to prevent slipping. You might think at first that the push P (to stopdownward slipping) would then need to be GREATER than before, due to the lesserfriction force. However, only half of the push is effective when exerted horizontally.If the force P were directed up the incline, a force of only 133 N is required. Youshould verify this value by reworking the problem.

Assumingconstant acceleration, what was the average velocity? What is the meaning of a negativeaverage velocity? What is the average acceleration and final velocity?vo = + 4 m/s; s = -3 m; t = 5 s Find vavg

    s = vavg t; v 3 m5 s ; vavg = -0.600 m/s

    Negative average velocity means that the velocity was down the plane most of the time.

    *6-56. The acceleration due to gravity on an distant planet is determined to be one-fourth itsvalue on the earth. Does this mean that a ball dropped from a height of 4 m above thisplanet will strike the ground in one-fourth the time? What are the times required on theplanet and on earth?

    The distance as a function of time is given by: s = at2 so thatone-fourth the acceleration should result in twice the drop time.

Ball A is initially traveling to the left at 2 m/s, while ball B is traveling to the leftinitially at 5 m/s. Find the time t at which the balls collide. Also, assuming x = 0 at theinitial position of ball A, what is their common displacement when they collide?Equations of displacement for A and B:s = so + vot + at2 (watch signs)

    For A: sA = 0 + (-2 m/s)t + (+4 m/s2) t2

    For B: sB = 18 m + (-5 m/s)t + (-2 m/s2) t2; Next simplify and set sA = sB- 2t + 2t2 = 18 5t - t2 3t2 + 3t 18 = 0 t1 = - 3 s, t2 = +2 sAccept t = +3 s as meaningful answer, then substitute to find either sA or sB:
