Figure 4-53 [shows a block (mass mA) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (mB), which hangs vertically. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for each block, showing the force of gravity on each, the force (tension) exerted by the cord, and any normal force.(b) Apply Newton's second law to find formulas for the acceleration of the system and for the tension in the cord. Ignore friction and the masses of the pulley and cord.

- For the woman being pulled forward on the toboggan in Figure 4.33, is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the toboggan (a) equal to the total weight of the woman plus the toboggan, (b) greater than the total weight, (c) less than the total weight, or (d) possibly greater than or less than the total weight, depending on the size of the weight relative to the tension in the rope?arrow_forwardA 3.00-kg object undergoes an acceleration given by a=(2.00i+5.00j)m/s2. Find (a) the resultant force acting on the object and (b) the magnitude of the resultant force.arrow_forwardTypically, a bullet leaves a standard 45-caliber pistol (5.0-in. barrel) at a speed of 262m/s.If it takes 1 ms to traverse the barrel ,determine the average acceleration experienced by the 16.2g bullet within the gun and then compute the average force exerted on it .arrow_forward
- A block with a carpeted underside is pulled by a wheeled cart attached by a piece of cordage. If the two traveled at a constant acceleration down an inclined ramp (with a known angle), how would one go about finding mu s and mu k if values of position and time were recorded? Mass of the cart+block is also recorded.arrow_forward•7SSMThere are two forces on the 2.00 kg box in the overhead view of Fig. 5-31, but only one is shown. For F1 = 20.0 N, a = 12.0 m/s2, and θ = 30.0°, find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis.arrow_forwardIf a leftward-moving object experiences an unbalanced force, then the object will have an acceleration that is in directed to the left. True or falsearrow_forward
- Suppose you have an object on which no forces are acting at a particular instant when you observe it. Is this object necessarily at rest?arrow_forwardA jet airplane has an instantaneous acceleration of 1.99m /s^2 at an angle of 18.5^oabove the horizontal.Compute the horizontal and vertical components of force exerted on a 55.0kg passenger by the airplane seat?arrow_forwardA block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal, flat, and smooth (no friction) surface by a rope of mass m, on which a force ?⃗is acting. If we consider that the rope does not stretch out when it is pulled, then the block and rope will move under the same acceleration. Determine the value of such acceleration. Now, if the mass of the rope m is much smaller than the mass of the block M, then what is the approximate value of the acceleration?arrow_forward
- A barge is pulled by two tugboats. If the resultant force exerted by the tugboats is 5kN force directed along the x-axis of the barge, determine the tensions in each of the rope knowing that a=45 degrees.arrow_forwardA 2.50 kg mass is released from rest while on and incline of 54.7 degrees. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.529, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the mass?arrow_forwardIf the acceleration of an object is zero,are no forces actingon it?
