Unlike mass, weight is not a(n) ___ property. (1.4)
Why can we neglect forces such as those holding a body together when we apply Newton's second law of motion?
Two people pull as hard as they can on horizontal ropes attached to a boat that has a mass of 200 kg. If they pull in the same direction, the boat has an acceleration of 1.52 m/s2 to the right. If they pull in opposite directions, the boat has an acceleration of 0.518 m/s2 to the left. What is the magnitude of the force each person exerts on the boat? Disregard any other horizontal forces on the boat.
The force on a baseball as with a bat can be more than 8,000 lb. No human can push on a bat with that much force. What is happening in this instance?
Ina traction setup a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to Increase the force along the tibia using the weight? (See Figure 4.30) (Note that the tibia is the shin bone shown in this image.) Figure 4.30 A leg is suspended by a traction system in which wires used to transmit forces. Frictionless pulleys crw.ge the direction of the force T without changing Its magnitude.
What is the unbalanced force acting on a moving car with a constant velocity of 25 m/s (56 mi/h)?
The leg and cast in Figure P4.40 weigh 220 N (w1). Determine the weight w2 and the angle needed so that no force is exerted on the hip joint by the leg plus the cast. Figure P4.40
The board sandwiched between two other boards in Figure P5.97 weighs 95.5 N. If the coefficient of static friction between the boards is 0.663, what must be the magnitude of the compression forces (assumed horizontal) acting on both sides of the center board to keep it from slipping?
Two muscles in the back of the leg pull upward on the Achilles tendon, as shown in Figure 4.40 (These muscles are called the medial and lateral heads of the gastrocnemius muscle.) Find the magnitude and direction of the total force on the Achilles tendon. What type of movement could be caused by this force?
What force is exerted on the tooth in Figure 4.38 if the tension in the wire is 25.0 N? Note that the force applied to the tooth is smaller than the tension in the wire, but this is necessitated by practical considerations of how force can be applied in the mouth. Explicitly show how you follow steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. Figure 4.38 Braces are used to apply forces to teeth to realign them. Shown in this figure are the tensions applied by the wire to the protruding tooth. The total force applied to the tooth by the wire, Fapp, points straight toward the back of the mouth.
If the acceleration of a system is zero, are no external forces acting on it? What about internal forces? Explain your answers.
An American football lineman reasons that it is senseless to try to out-push the opposing player, since no matter how hard he pushes he will an equal and opposite force from the other player. Use Newton’s laws and draw a free-body diagram of an appropriate system to explain how he can still-push the opposition if he is strong enough.
