A barge is pulled by the two tugboats shown in the following figure. One tugboat pulls on the barge with a force of magnitude 4000 units of force at 15 above the line AB (see the figure and the other tugboat pulls on the barge with a force of magnitude 5000 units of force at 12 below the line AB. Resolve the pulling forces to their scalar components and find the components of the resultant force pulling on the barge. What is the magnitude of the resultant pull? What is its direction relative to the line AB?
The wheels of a midsize car exert a force of 2100 N backward on the road to accelerate the car in the forward direction. If the force of friction including air resistance is 250 N and the acceleration of the car is 1.80 m/s2, what is the mass of the car plus its occupants? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
Integrated Concepts A large rocket has a mass of 2.00106 kg at takeoff, and its engines produce a thrust of 3.50107 N. (a) Find its initial acceleration if it takes off vertically. (b) How long does it take to reach a velocity of 120 km/h straight up, assuming constant mass and thrust? (c) In reality, the mass of a rocket decreases significantly as its fuel is consumed. Describe qualitatively how this affects the acceleration and time for this motion.
A person holds a ball in her hand. (a) Identify all the external forces acting on the ball and the Newtons third-law reaction force to each one. (b) If the ball is dropped, what force is exerted on it while it is falling? Identify the reaction force in this case. (Ignore air resistance.)
(a) Find the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2 that add to give the total force Ftot shown in Figure 4.35. This may be done either graphically or by using trigonometry. (b) Show graphically that the same total force is obtained independent of the order of addition of F1 and F2. (c) Find the direction and magnitude of some other pair of vectors that add to give Ftot. Draw these to scale on the same drawing used in part (b) or a similar picture.
Which statement is correct? (a) Net force causes motion. (b) Net force causes change in motion. Explain your answer and give an example.
While sliding a couch across a floor, Andrea and Jennifer exert forces FA and FJ on the couch. Andrea’s force is due north with a magnitude of 130.0 N and Jennifer’s force is 32 east of north with a magnitude of 180.0 N. (a) Find the net force in component form. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force. (c) If Andrea and Jennifer’s housemates, David and Stephanie, disagree with the move and want to prevent its relocation, with what combined forceFDS should they push so that the couch does not move?
The helicopter view in Figure P3.20 shows two people pulling on a stubborn mule. Find (a) the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown and (b) the force a third person would have to exert on the mule to make the net force equal to zero. The forces are measured in units of newtons (N). Figure P3.20
What forces act on you as you walk across a room? Draw a free-body diagram showing all of them. Which force or forces propel you forward? Why is it more difficult to walk on a slippery surface than on a nonslippery one? Explain how you use Newtons third law to control your motion.
A child jumping off the monkey bars at a playground accelerates toward the ground because of the gravitational force exerted on him by the Earth. From Newtons third law, the force exerted by the Earth on the child is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the child on the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate? Explain.
For all three situations, find the magnitude and direction of the tension force(s) exerted on Rochelle. If not enough information is given, say so. Explain your answers. a. Rochelle and Buddy pull on opposite ends of rope. The tension force exerted on Buddy is 15 N and is directed toward Rochelle. b. Now, one end of the rope is tied to a sturdy pole and Rochelle pulls on the other end. The tension force on the pole is 15 N directed toward Rochelle. c. Finally, Rochelle holds one rope in her left hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Joe. She holds another rope in her right hand, and the other end of that rope is pulled by Buddy. Both Buddy and Joe experience a 15-N force directed toward Rochelle.
