. A person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest (Figure 2.54). The scale reads 800 N. (a) What is the person's mass? (b) The elevator accelerates upward momentarily at the rate of 2 m/s2. What does the scale read then? (c) The elevator then moves with a steady speed of 5 m/s. What does the scale read now?
As a horse and wagon are accelerating From rest, the horse exerts a force of 400 N on the wagon (Figure 2.56), Illustrating Newton's third law, the wagon exerts an equal and opposite force of 400 N. Because the two forces are in opposite directions, why don't they cancel each other and produce zero acceleration (i.e., no motion)?
A boxer breaks his hand by punching another boxers jaw. How is it possible to break your hand when you exert such a force?
(a) What force causes an automobile to move? (b) A propeller-driven airplane? (c) A rowboat?
A motorcycle and rider have a total mass equal to 300 kg. The rider applies the brakes, causing the motorcycle to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s2. What is the net force on the motorcycle?
A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 400 N. (Air resistance is analogous to air friction. It always opposes the motion of an object.) What is the magnitude of the force the motorcycle exerts backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if the mass of the motorcycle with rider is 245 kg?
What properties do forces have that allow us to classify them as vectors?
A baseball catcher is performing a stunt for a television commercial. He will catch a baseball (mass 145 g) dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His glove stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball?
A small sports car collides head-on with a massive truck. The greater impact force (in magnitude) acts on (a) the car, (b) the truck, (c) neither, the force is the same on both. Which vehicle undergoes the greater magnitude acceleration? (d) the car, (e) the truck, (f) the accelerations are the same.
Assume the resistive force acting on a speed skater is proportional to the square of the skaters speed v and is given by f = kmv2, where k is a constant and m is the skaters mass. The skater crosses the finish line of a straight-line race with speed vi and then slows down by coasting on his skates. Show that the skaters speed at any time t after crossing the finish line is v(t) = vi/(1 + ktvi).
If a constant, nonzero force is applied to an object, what can you say about the velocity and acceleration of the object?
A magician pulls a tablecloth from under a 200-g mug located 30.0 cm from the edge of the cloth. The cloth exerts a friction force of 0.100 N on the mug and is pulled with a constant acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. How far does the mug move relative to the horizontal tabletop before the cloth is completely out from under it? Note that the cloth must move more than 30 cm relative to the tabletop during the process.
