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.)
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.
Figure 4.39 shows Superhero and Trusty Sidekick hanging motionless from a rope. Superhero's mass is 90.0 kg, while Trusty Sidekick's is 55.0 kg, and the mass of the rope is negligible. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of the situation showing all forces acting on Superhero, Trusty Sidekick, and the rope. (b) Find the tension in the rope above Superhero. (c) Find the tension in the rope between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick. Indicate on your free-body diagram the system of interest used to solve each part. Figure 4.39 Superhero and Trusty Sidekick hang motionless on a rope as they try to figure out what to do next. Will the tension be the same everywhere in the rope?

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 ball is held in a persons hand. (a) Identify all the external forces acting on the ball and the reaction to each. (b) If the ball is dropped, what force is exerted on it while it is falling? Identify the reaction force in this case. (Neglect air resistance.)
When you learn to drive, you discover that you need to let up slightly on the brake pedal as you come to a stop or the car will stop with a jerk. Explain this in terms of the relationship between static and kinetic friction.
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.
Consider the object subject to the three forces in Figure 12.3. Choose the correct statement with regard to this situation from the choices (a)(d) in Quick Quiz 12.1. Figure 12.3 (Quick Quiz 12.2) Three forces act on an object. Notice that the lines of action of all three forces pass through a common point.
Unreasonable Results A 75.0-kg man stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator that accelerates from rest to 30.0 m/s in 2.00 s. (a) Calculate the scale reading in newtons and compare it with his weight. (The scale exerts an upward force on him equal to its reading.) (b) What is unreasonable about the result? (c) Which premise is unreasonable, or which premises are inconsistent?
Train Collision and Newtons First Law A group of college students discusses the train collision case study. Use Newtons first law to decide which underlined statements are correct and which are false. Explain your answers. Shannon: This newspaper says that the people who got really hurt were either standing up or sitting in a forward-facing seat. Those people got thrown forward when the train stopped. Avi: Thats why there are seat belts in cars. If you get into a crash, the force can throw you through the windshield. Cameron: There is no force that throws you through the windshield. You fly through the windshield because you are already moving and it would take a force to stop you from going forward. Thats why theres a seat belt. Avi: That doesnt make sense. Because then you would need a force to stop you from flying through the windshield even when you just stop slowly at a red light. Cameron: Thats right, but when you slow down slowly, you dont need such a big force and the car seat can take care of it. Shannon: The seat? I dont think a seat can exert a force. It cant move on its own or hold you. Thats why the people who were sitting forward on the train were hurt. The people who were sitting backward had the back of the seat to block them.
