A 1500 kg car is traveling along a straight road at 20 m/s. Two seconds later its
speed is 21 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the car during
this time? - ANSWER -acceleration= 0.5 m/s^2 force= 750 N
Are the objects described here in static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, or not in
equilibrium at all?
a) a girder is lifted at constant speed by a crane
b) a grinder is lowered by a crane. It is slowing down.
c) you're straining to hold a 200 lb barbell over your head
d) a jet plane has reached its cruising speed and altitude
e) a rock is falling into the grand canyon
f) a box in the back of a truck does not slide as the truck stops - ANSWER -a) a
girder is lifted at constant speed by a crane (Dynamic equilibrium)
b) a grinder is lowered by a crane. It is slowing down.( dynamic equilibrium)
c) you're straining to hold a 200 lb barbell over your head (static equilibrium)
d) a jet plane has reached its cruising speed and altitude (dynamic equilibrium)
e) a rock is falling into the grand canyon ( is not in equilibrium state)
f) a box in the back of a truck does not slide as the truck stops (dynamic
equilibrium)
Suppose you are holding a box in front of you and away from your body by
squeezing the sides. Draw a free-body diagram showing all of the forces on the
box. What is the force that is holding the box up, the force that is opposite the
weight force? - ANSWER -Force is responsible for still motion is static frictional
force
The three ropes in the figure are tied to a small, very light ring. Two of the ropes
are anchored to the walls at right angles, and the third rope pulls as shown. What
, are T1 and T2, the magnitudes of the tension forces in the first two ropes? -
ANSWER -The first ropes tension is 86.6N and the second rope is 50 N
What is the tension in the rope of Figure P5.42? - ANSWER -588 N
the horse on a carousel is 4.0 m from the central axis.
a) if the carousel rotates at 0.10 rev/s, how long does it take the horse to go around
twice?
b) how fast is a child on the horse going (in m/s)? - ANSWER -a) 20 s
b) 2.5 m/s
A 5.0 m diameter merry-go-round is turning with a 4.0 s period. What is the speed
of a child on the rim? - ANSWER -3.93 m/s
A 200 g block on a 50cm long string swings in a circle on a horizontal, frictionless
table at 75 rpm.
a) what is the speed of the block?
b) what is the tension in the string? - ANSWER -a) 7.85 rad/s
b) 3.93 m/s
You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the
bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m in diameter. What is the
minimum speed the rock must have at the top of the circle if it is to stay in contact
with the bottom of the bucket? - ANSWER -3.28 m/s
What is the angular speed of the tip of the minute hand on a clock in rad/s? -
ANSWER -1.74 x 10^-3 rad/s
Figure P7.9 shows the angular position of a potter's wheel.
