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.
At a given instant in time, a 12kg rock is observed to be falling with an acceleration of 6.25m/s2 (Note that this is different from the gravitational acceleration. This difference must be due to another force, air resistance, pushing up on the rock. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force on the rock? What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force acting on the rock? What is the magnitude of the force of the air resistance acting on the rock at this instant?
Once you reach the 21st floor you decide that your urge to understand physics is too great so you decide to ride the elevator back to the ground floor to analyze what happens. The elevator accelerates downward at 2 m/s2. What is the Gravitational Force? Since the elevator is accelerating downward does the Normal Force have to be greater than, equal to or less than the Force of Gravity? Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting on you. Be sure to draw the size of your arrows appropriately. What is the Net Force, using Newton’s 2nd Law, while the elevator is accelerating downward? What is the Normal Force? What does the scale read as the elevator is accelerating downward
1. For each of the following examples, state which of Newton’s Laws apply and explain your answer. a) Astronauts feel pushed back into their seats during launch. b) The force an astronaut exerts on his seat is equal in strength and opposite in direction to the force the seat exerts on the astronaut. c) The force exerted by the rocket engine overcomes the forces of gravity and air resistance, resulting in an upward acceleration of the rocket.
2) Force is given by mass times acceleration. If the force on a body is 20N and its mass is 12kg, how much is the acceleration? 3) As you step out of the boat, you move forward and the boat moves backwards. Which law of motion is that?
