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?
An 80.0-kg passenger in an SUV traveling at 1.00103km/h is wearing a seat belt. The driver slams on the brakes and the SUV stops in 45.0 m. Find the force of the seat belt on the passenger.
A runner pushes against the track, as shown. (a) Provide a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the runner. (Hint: Place all forces at the center of his body, and include his weight.) (b) Give a revised diagram showing the xy -component form. (credit: modification of work by “Greenwich Photography”/Flicke)
A 120-kg astronaut is riding in a rocket sled that is sliding along an inclined plane. The sled has a horizontal component of acceleration of 5.0m/s2 and a downward component of 3.8m/s2 . Calculate the magnitude of the force on the rider by the sled. (Hint: Remember that gravitational acceleration must be considered.)
A runaway piano starts from rest and slides down a 20.0 frictionless incline 5.00 m in length. a. Draw a free-body diagram of the piano. b. What is the acceleration of the piano? c. What is the speed of the piano at the bottom of the incline?
Two children pull a third child on a snow saucer sled exerting forces F1 and F2 as shown from above in Figure 4.36. Find the acceleration of the 49.00-kg sled and child system. Note that the direction of the frictional force is unspecified; it will be in the opposite direction of the sum of F1 and F2.
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.2010-5Nstraight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 0.50010-6Non the flea while the flea is still in contact with the ground. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if Its mass is 6.0010-7kg . Do not neglect the gravitational force.
What force does a trampoline have to apply to Jennifer, a 45.0-kg gymnast, to accelerate her straight up at 7.50m/s2 ? The answer is independent of the velocity of the gymnast—she can be moving up or down or can be instantly stationary.
When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 40.0-kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. Calculate the force she must exert if her deceleration is 7.00 times the acceleration due to gravity. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.
Astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless. This means that a clever method of measuring the mass of astronauts is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses, and adjust their diet. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of 50.0 N is exerted, and an astronaut’s acceleration is measured to be 0.893m/s2 . (a) Calculate her mass. (b) By exerting a force on the astronaut, the vehicle in which she orbits experiences an equal and opposite force. Use this knowledge to find an equation for the acceleration of the system (astronaut and spaceship) that would be measured by a nearby observer. (c) Discuss how this would affect the measurement of the astronaut’s acceleration. Propose a method by which recoil of the vehicle is avoided.
