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.
Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team's members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team's members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1365 N horizontally. (a) What is magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams? (b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?
A large crate of mass m is place on the flatbed of a truck but not tied down. As the truck accelerates forward with acceleration a, the crate remains at rest relative to the truck. What force causes the crate to accelerate? (a) the normal force (b) the gravitational force (c) ihe friction force (d) the ma force exerted by the crate (e) No force is required.
If a constant, nonzero force is applied to an object, what can you say about the velocity and acceleration of the object?
When you learn to drive, you discover that you need to up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk. Explain this in terms of the relationship between static and friction.
What term refers to the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in uniform, straight-line motion? (3.2) (a) mass (b) force (c) inertia (d) external force
When you push on a box with a 200-N force instead of a 50-N force, you can feel that you are making a greater effort. When a table exerts a 200-N normal force instead of one of smaller magnitude, is the table really doing anything differently?
A 1.00 103 car is pulling a 300.-kg trailer. Together, the car and trailer have an acceleration of 2.15 m/s2 in the positive x-direction. Neglecting frictional forces on the trailer, determine (a) the net force on the car, (b) the net force on the trailer, (c) the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the trailer on the car, and (d) the resultant force exerted by the car on the road.
A block of mass 3.00 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes an angle of = 50.0 with the horizontal as shown in Figure P5.34. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.250. (a) Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the block to remain stationary. (b) Describe what happens if P has a larger value and what happens if it is smaller. (c) Repeal parts (a) and (b), assuming the force makes an angle of = 13.0 with the horizontal. Figure P5.34
When you push a piece of chalk across a chalkboard, it sometimes screeches because it rapidly alternates between slipping and sticking to the board. Describe this process in more detail, in particular explaining how it is related to the fact that kinetic friction is less than static friction. (The same slip-grab process occurs when tires screech on pavement.)
The rocket sled shown in Figure 4.33 accelerates at a rate of 49.0 m/s2. Its passenger has a mass of 75.0 kg. (a) Calculate the horizontal component of the force the seat exerts against his body. Compare this with his weight by using a ratio. (b) Calculate the direction and magnitude of the total force the seat exerts against his body.
Calculate the force a 70.0-kg high jumper must exert on the ground to produce an upward acceleration 4.00 times the acceleration due to gravity. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.
