Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in Figure P4.12. (a) What is the resultant vector of these two forces? (b) If the car has a mass of 3 000 kg, what acceleration does it have? Ignore friction. Figure P4.12
Two children, Raffi and John, sitting on sleds tied together with a massless rope, are being dragged across a frozen river by their playful Siberian husky Rex who is supplying a 112-N horizontal force (Fig. P5.78). The coefficient of friction between the sleds and the ice is 0.08, the combined mass of Raffi and his sled is 42.0 kg, and the combined mass of John and his sled is 51.0 kg. a. Draw a free-body diagram for each of the childsled systems. b. What is the acceleration of the system? c. What is the tension FT in the rope connecting the two sleds? FIGURE P5.78
. Under certain conditions, the human body can safely withstand an acceleration of 10 g. (a) What net force would have to act on someone with mass of 50 kg to cause this acceleration? (b) Find the weight of such a person in pounds then convert the answer to (a) to pounds.
What forces cause (a) an automobile, (b) a propeller-driven airplane, and (c) a rowboat to move?
The helicopter view in Figure P1.70 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 P1.70
An object experiences no acceleration. Which of the following cannot be true for the object? (a) A single force acts on the object. (b) No forces act on the object. (c) Forces act on the object, but the forces cancel.
Does the ground need to exert a force on you for you to jump off the ground, or do you need to exert a force on the ground? If the ground must exert a force on you, is that force greater than the force you exert on the ground?
Two forces F1 and F2 act on a 5.00-kg object. Taking F1 = 20.0 N and F2 = 15.0 N, find the accelerations of the object for the configurations of forces shown in parts (a) and (b) of Figure P5.19. Figure P5.19
A block of mass m1= 10 kg is on a frictionless table to the left of a second block of mass m2 = 24 kg, attached by a horizontal string (Figure WU4.13). If a horizontal force of 120 N is exerted on the block m2in the positive x-direction, (a) use the system approach to find the acceleration of the two blocks. (b) What is the tension in the string connecting the blocks? (See Section 4.6.) Figure WU4.13
An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P4.45), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 250 N. Nicks true weight is 320 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nicks feet are not touching the ground. (a) Draw one pair of diagrams showing the forces for Nick and the chair considered as separate systems and another diagram for Nick and the chair considered as one system. (b) Show that the acceleration of the system is upward and find its magnitude. (c) Find the force Nick exerts on the chair. Figure P4.45 Problems 45 and 46. 46. In the situation described in Problem 45 and Figure P4.45, the masses of the rope, spring balance, and pulley are negligible. Nicks feet are not touching the ground. (a) Assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he stops pulling down on the rope and passes the end of the rope to another child, of weight 440 N, who is standing on the ground next to him. The rope does not break. Describe the ensuing motion. (b) Instead, assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he ties the end of the rope to a strong hook projecting from the tree trunk. Explain why this action can make the rope break.
A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20 m/s2 backward. (a) What is the force of friction between the losing player's feet and the grass? (b) What force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) Draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
