. The roller coaster in Figure 1.39 starts at the top of a straight track that is inclined 30° with the horizontal. This causes it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s2 (1/2 g). (a) What is the roller coasters speed after 3 s? (b) How far does it travel during that time?
Suppose Kevin, a 60.0-kg gymnast, climbs a rope. (a) What Is the tension in the rope if he climbs at a constant speed? (b) What is the tension in the rope if he accelerates upward at a rate of 1.50m/s2 ?
A rock is thrown straight up. At the top of the trajectory, the velocity is momentarily zero. Does this imply that the force acting on the object is zero? Explain your answer.
. A sprinter with a mass of 80 kg accelerates uniformly from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. (a) What is the runner’s acceleration? (b) What is the net force on the runner? (c) How far does the sprinter navel during the 3 s?
A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed, the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 400.0 N. (Air resistance is analogous to air fiction. It always opposes the motion of an object.) What is the magnitude of the force that motorcycle exerts backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if the mass of the motorcycle with rider is 245 kg?
A 5.00105 -kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250107 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50106 N. What is the rocket's acceleration? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.
A weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale. He pumps a barbell up and down. What happens to the reading on the scale as he does so? What If? What if he is strong enough to actually throw the barbell upward? How does the reading on the scale vary now?
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?
. A jet aircraft with a mass of 4,500 kg has an engine that exerts a force (thrust) equal to 60,000 N. (a) What is the jets acceleration when it takes off? (b) What is the jet’s speed after it accelerates for 8 s? (c) How far does the jet travel during the 8 s?
A net force ___. (3.1) (a) can produce motion (b) is a scalar quantity (c) is capable of producing a change in velocity (d) both (a) and (c)
A student’s backpack, full of textbooks, is hung from a spring scale attached to the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.8m/s2 , the scale reads 60 N. (a) What Is the mass of the backpack? (b) What does the scale read if the elevator moves upward while speeding up at a rate 3.8m/s2 ? (c) What does the scale read if the elevator moves upward at constant velocity? (d) If the elevator had no brakes and the cable supporting it were to break loose so that the elevator could fall freely, what would the spring scale read?
