For Exercises 1 through 5:
a. Draw an interaction diagram.
b. Identify the "system" on your interaction diagram.
c. Draw a free-body diagram for each object in the system. Use dashed lines to connect members of an action/reaction pair.
1. A soccer ball and a bowling ball have a head-on collision at this instant. Rolling friction is negligible.
2. A weightlifter stands up at constant speed from a squatting position while holding a heavy barbell across his shoulders.
3. A steel cable with mass is lifting a girder. The girder is speeding up.
4. Block A in FIGURE EX7.4 is heavier than block B and is sliding down the incline. All surfaces have friction. The rope is massless, and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you'll have to decide if they're part of the system.
FIGURE EX7.4 and FIGURE EX7.5
5. Block A in FIGURE EX7.5 is sliding down the incline. The rope is and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings, but the surface is not frictionless. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you'll have to decide if they're part of the system.

- A 5.00105 -kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250107 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50106 N. What is the rocket's acceleration? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.arrow_forward(a) Why does an ordinary rifle recoil (kick backward) when fired? (b) The barrel of a recoilless rifle is open at both ends. Describe how Newton’s third law applies when one is fired. (c) Can you safely stand close behind one when it is fired?arrow_forwardThe driver of a speeding empty truck slams on the brakes and skids to a stop through a distance d. On a second trial, the truck carries a load that doubles its mass. What will now be the trucks skidding distance? (a) 4d (b) 2d (c) 2d (d) d (e) d/2arrow_forward
- A weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale. He pumps a barbell up and down. What happens to the reading on the scale as he does so? What If? What if he is strong enough to actually throw the barbell upward? How does the reading on the scale vary now?arrow_forwardA weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale. (a) As she pumps a barbell up and down, what happens to the reading on the scale? (b) Suppose she is strong enough to actually throw the barbell upward. How does the reading on the scale vary now?arrow_forwardQ5: A waiter pushes a glass over the counter toward his customer at an initial speed of 5.5 m/s. Two metersahead, the customer picks up the glass at the end of the counter, which has now lost 40% of its velocity.(a) Draw the free-body diagram for the glass and determine the acceleration of the glass as it slides over the counter,assumed to be constant?(b) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the counter and the glass?(c) If the customer was distracted and did not pick up the glass, how far from the base of the counter, 90 cm high, would the glassfall?(d) Conceptual Discussion - Discuss what would happen to the answer in (c) if there were no friction.arrow_forward
- What force does a soccer ball apply to a person’s foot if the ball experiences a 1000 N force? b) Draw a free body diagram of the scenario. *arrow_forwardq A .22 rifle bullet, traveling at 350 m/s, strikes a large tree, which penetrates to a depth of 0.130 m. The mass of the bullet is 1.80 g. Assume constant retarding force. (a) How much time is required for the bullet to stop? (b) What force, in newtons, does the tree exert on the bullet?arrow_forwardQ1 How does the force exerted by the more massive car on the less massive car compare to the force exerted by the less massive car on the more massive car?Q2 Using Newton’s 2nd Law, explain why the less massive car “feels” the collision more.arrow_forward
- Squid use jet propulsion for rapid escapes. A squid pulls water into its body and then rapidly ejects the water backward to propel itself forward. A 1.5 kg squid (not including water mass) can accelerate at 20 m/s2 by ejecting 0.15 kg of water.a. What is the magnitude of the thrust force on the squid?b. What is the magnitude of the force on the water being ejected?c. What acceleration is experienced by the water?arrow_forwardThe fastest pitched baseball was clocked at 47 m/s. If the pitcher exerted his force (assumed to be horizontal and constant) over a distance of 1.0 m, and a baseball has a mass of 145 g, a. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball during the pitch. b. What force did the pitcher exert on the ball during this record-setting pitch? c. Estimate the force in part b as a fraction of the pitcher’s weight.arrow_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
