- A yoga teacher tells her students to imagine their hands are magnets pulling on each other. What are the problems with this metaphor? What is a better metaphor?arrow_forwardAn iron bolt of mass 60.0 g hangs from a string 30 cm long. The top end of the string is fixed. Without touching it, a magnet attracts the bolt so that it remains stationary but is displaced horizontally 28 cm to the right from the previously vertical line of the string. The magnet is located to the right of the bolt and on the same vertical level as the bolt in the final configuration.a. Draw the free-body diagram of the bolt.b. Find the tension in the string and the magnetic force on the bolt.arrow_forwardJack pulls a sled across a level field by exerting a force of 110 N at an angle of 30° with the ground. What are the parallel and perpendicular components, respectively, of this force with respect to the ground? a. 64 N, 190 N b. 190 N, 64 N c. 95 N, 55N d. 55 N, 95 Narrow_forward
- An iron bolt of mass 60.0 g hangs from a string 30 cm long. The top end of the string is fixed. Without ouching it, a magnet attracts the bolt so that it remains stationary but is displaced horizontally 28 cm to the right from the previously vertical line of the string. The magnet is located to the right of the bolt and on the same vertical level as the bolt in the final configuration. a. Draw the free-body diagram of the bolt. b. Find the tension in the string and the magnetic force on the boltarrow_forwardA massive light hangs over the table in Jeremy's dining room. The light is supported by four strong chains which make an angle of 75.0° with the horizontal. The force in each chain is 35.8 N. a. Determine the force with which a single chain pulls horizontally and vertically upon the light.b. Determine the mass of the light.arrow_forwardA copper 55 kg crate is on a steel floor. a.

What is the force required to keep the crate moving at a constant velocity?arrow_forward
- Siobhan slides a 1.5 kg plate across the table towards you. a. What is the normal force acting on the plate? b.What is the kinetic friction force acting on the plate?The surfaces have ?k = 0.6 . c. Siobhan stops pushing when the plate is moving with speed ?i = 2.5 ?/?.How long will it take for the plate to come to a stop, and how far will it travel?arrow_forwardWhich of the following forces is considered as a non-contact force? a. Air resistance C. Kinetic Friction b. Tension d. Electric Forcearrow_forwardConsider a ball swinging on a string. How does the tension relate to the gravitational force at the bottom of a swing? A. The tension is equal to the gravitational force B. The tension is greater than the gravitational force C. The tension is lesser than the gravitational forcearrow_forward
- I watched a lot of Looney Toons when I was a kid, and liked that the Roadrunners legs would spin for a second or two before their claws caught traction. a. With a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2 what acceleration will the roadrunner experience while their feet are sliding accross the ground? b. How far forward will the roadrunner drift in a half second, starting from rest under this acceleration? c. After catching traction the Roadrunner accelerates away, travelling 10 m to get offscreen in one fifth of a second. What was their coefficient of static friction?arrow_forwardQuestion 2 P Flag question The force of attraction between two particles is inversely proportional to the distance between the two particles' surfaces. Select one: O True O Falsearrow_forwardA 1000 kg car pushes a 2000 kg truck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push backward against the ground with a force of 4500 N. a. What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck? b. What is the magnitude of the force of the truck on the car?arrow_forward
