Force
- a. is a vector quantity.
- b. may be different from weight.
- c. does not always cause motion.
- d. all of the above.

Find the correct option.
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct option is (d). “All of the above”.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Force has magnitude as well as direction. Therefore, it is a vector quantity.
Weight of any object is the gravitational force acting on the body. Not all the forces acting on the body is the weight. There are other forces acting on the body that is the frictional force, the force exerted during push or pull and so on.
Force is responsible for causing motion, changing the motion of the object and preventing the object from changing its motion. However, it is not necessary that all the forces produce acceleration and cause motion. For example, if we push a wall, there will not be any motion even though we are applying a force on the wall.
Therefore, all the given options are satisfied.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is (d). “All of the above”.

- In order to convert a tough split in bowling, it is necessary to strike the pin a glancing blow as shown. Assume that the bowling ball, initially traveling at 13.0 m/s, has five times the mass of a pin and that the pin goes off at 75° from the original direction of the ball. Calculate the speed (a) of the pin and (b) of the ball just after collision, and (c) calculate the angle, 0, through which the ball was deflected. Assume the collision is elastic and ignore any spin of the ball. Marrow_forwardA bullet of mass m moving with velocity v strikes and becomes embedded at the edge of a cylinder of mass M and radius Ro, as shown. The cylinder, initially at rest, begins to rotate about its symmetry axis, which remains fixed in position. Assume no frictional torque. (a) What is the total moment of inertia after the collision? (b) What is the angular velocity of the cylinder after this collision? (c) Is kinetic energy conserved (ignore the motion of the cylinder's center of mass)? (d) Assume that the cylinder rotated for t sec before coming to a stop, what is the angular acceleration of its motion?
