- A hockey stick pushes a 0.160-kg puck with constant force across the frictionless surface of an ice rink. During this motion, the pucks velocity changes from 4.00 m/s to (6.00 + 12.00) m/s in 4.00 s. a. What are the scalar components of the force acting on the puck? b. What is the magnitude of the force acting on the puck?arrow_forwardThe gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.21 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 18.0 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 170 ms. The ball starts from rest. (a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball?arrow_forwardA 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.2 m/s in 0.80 s. The elevator travels with this constant speed for 5.0 s, undergoes a uniform negative acceleration for 1.5 s, and then comes to rest. What does the spring scale register (a) before the elevator starts to move? (b) During the first 0.80s of the elevator’s ascent? (c) While the elevator is traveling at constant speed? (d) During the elevator’s negative acceleration?arrow_forward
