* Equation Jeopardy 1 The three sets of equations below are the horizontal x- and vertical y-component forms of Newton’s second law applied to three physical processes. For each case, solve for the unknowns. Then work backward and construct a force diagram for the object of interest and invent a problem for which the equations could be an answer (there are many possibilities). Note the difference between N (unit of force, newton) and N (the symbol for the normal force).

- In a laboratory model of cars skidding to a stop, data are measured for four trials using two blocks. The blocks have identical masses but different coefficients of kinetic friction with a table: k = 0.2 and 0.8. Each block is launched with speed vi = 1 m/s and slides across the level table as the block comes to rest. This process represents the first two trials. For the next two trials, the procedure is repeated but the blocks are launched with speed vi = 2 m/s. Rank the four trials (a) through (d) according to the stopping distance from largest to smallest. If the stopping distance is the same in two cases, give them equal rank. (a) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.2 (b) vi = 1 m/s, k = 0.8 (c) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.2 (d) vi = 2 m/s, k = 0.8arrow_forward*** The question mark boxes are a multiplication symboL!!

A vector can be represented graphically by a line drawn to scale in the direction of the line of action of the force. To distinguish between vector and scalar quantities, various ways are used. Identify and explain three of these ways.arrow_forward

Determine the tension in the lower chain.arrow_forwardQUESTION 2 Problem A new type of force was discovered by physicists with the following expression: a Fnew = + Be* + 3x4 where alpha & beta are constants, and x is the position. The expression above was obtained from the interaction of a massless Higgs Boson (a type of particle) and a black hole. Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x2 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat? (For simplicity, consider that no energy is lost in the process) Solution To determine the work done we apply the following W = dx Evaluating the above, we get W = | + for the limits from xj to xf substituting x1 and x2 as the limits, the work done is expressed as | + B X1 W = ( x15 - x25 )arrow_forward
