- 1 Is it possible for a body to move in a constant speed but a variable velocity? 2 When a body has a constant acceleration, does the direction of its velocity change or not? If yes, give one of your examples. 3 If an object is acted on under several forces, does the object have to have acceleration? 4 Does the direction of the net force acted on a body and the direction of motion of the body have to be the same?arrow_forward2. Next, imagine the rather than sliding down the hill, the skier holds onto a rope that is connected to a tree at the top of the hill, and that the force of the rope holds the skier in place. How would you modify your force diagram now? Hint: The rope is parallel to the surface of the hill. Show that the net force is zero, again by using the parallelogram rule to show that any 2 forces add up to exactly cancel the 3rd force. Note that tension force is always along the direction of the rope but is not drawn equal to the length of the rope. What must be true for an object in equilibrium is that vector sum of the forces in any and every direction must equal zero. Though, we only need to show that along our chosen coordinate axes. Here it is okay to use the "usual" x- and y- directionsarrow_forward1. Look at the data: as the net force increased, what happened to the acceleration? Did it increase, decrease or stay constant? Why? 2. Did a change in the net force produce a change in acceleration by the same factor? Do the results agree with Newton’s 2nd Law?? Explainarrow_forward
- 1) Consider two boxes side by side, being pushed to the right. Box A, on the left, is 5 kg. Box B, on the right, is 3 kg. They are being pushed by a person using 30 Newtons of force. The broad goal is to understand everything, including their acceleration and their interaction forces. For now, treat friction as zero. a) Draw a motion diagram, label acceleration. Use the idea that the boxes have the same acceleration. b) Force list for Box A and for Box B. c) Free body diagram for Box A & B. Note which forces are caused by the same interaction. These must be the same length. d) Write each force as a vector using bracket notation. Use the idea that two of the forces must have the same length e) Write (sum of F) = m x a for each box f) Calculate the acceleration and the interaction forces between the boxesarrow_forwardA mover pushes a large packing crate across the floor in a straight line at a constant speed. What is the type of friction acting on the crate? kinetic ✓ Correct. 1-Because the crate is in motion, the type of friction exhibited in this case is kinetic friction. If the mover is applying a horizontal force of 110 N, what is the magnitude (in N) of the friction force on the crate? ⨯ Think about Newton's second law. If the velocity is constant, what's the acceleration? What's the net force? From this, if the mover pushes with a force in one direction, what must be the magnitude of the kinetic friction force in the other direction? N A large safe sits on a concrete floor. You push the safe horizontally, but the crate does not move. What type of friction force acts on the safe? static ✓ Correct. 2-Because the safe is motionless, the type of friction exhibited in this case is static friction. If the horizontal force you apply to the stationary safe above is 130 N, what is the…arrow_forwardASAP please!! Draw (and upload) a free-body-diagram for block B under the conditions described in question 4 (immediately before this question). The only object in this diagram should be block B, and only forces appropriate for a free-body-diagram of block B should appear. All force vectors must be labeled with letters and subscripts as defined for this class.arrow_forward
- 1) A man pushes a 20.0 kg lawn mower with a force of 80.0 N directed along the handle, which is inclined at 30.0° to the horizontal as shown in the figure below. (a) If he moves at constant velocity, what is the impeding force due to the ground? (b) What force along the handle would produce an acceleration of 1.25 m/s' given the same impeding force? I need to show all work draw picturearrow_forwardA Box sits at rest on a rough 33 degrees inclined plane. Draw the free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the box using system of Coordinates x,y axis for each case. How would the diagram change if the box was sliding down the plane ? Draw the free body diagram for this case again. How would it change if it was sliding up the incline after given an initial speed ? Draw Free Body diagram for part D again. Calculate the acceleration for part A if m = 50kg and Uk = 0.25 _________arrow_forward1. Here's our force diagram from Part 1: In this drawing, we've rotated the coordinate axes so the x-axis is parallel with the ramp surface and the y-axis is perpendicular. Now most of the forces are aligned with the axes, except one. Which force is not aligned with the new axes? Hint: Note: our textbook would label F_{string}Fstring as either F_TFT or just TT for the tension force. F_gFg , the force of earth's gravity on the object, also known as the weight w of the object. F_NFN, the normal force (sometimes labeled n ) on the object by the ramp surface. F_TFT, the tension force on the cart by the stringarrow_forward

The pulley has negligible mass and both the pulley and the surface of the incline are frictionless.a.
