Multiple ChoiceA tire swing hangs from a tree branch by a rope. Identify all the forces acting on the tire.
Multiple ChoiceYou push a couch across a carpeted (rough) living room floor. Identify all the forces acting on the couch.
Multiple ChoiceThe figure shows all the forces acting on an object. Which arrow could represent the acceleration of that object?
Multiple ChoiceThe figure shows all the forces acting on an object. What can you tell about the velocity of the object at this instant?
Open QuestionA ball is hanging from a long string that is tied to the ceiling of a train car traveling eastward on horizontal tracks. An observer inside the train car sees the ball hang motionless. Draw a clearly labeled free-body diagram for the ball if (b) the train is speeding up uniformly. Is the net force on the ball zero in either case? Explain.
Open QuestionCrates A and B sit at rest side by side on a frictionless horizontal surface. They have masses mA and mB, respectively. When a horizontal force F is applied to crate A, the two crates move off to the right. (a) Draw clearly labeled free-body diagrams for crate A and for crate B. Indicate which pairs of forces, if any, are third-law action–reaction pairs.
Open Question(I) A 650-N force acts in a northwesterly direction. A second 650-N force must be exerted in what direction so that the resultant of the two forces points westward? Illustrate your answer with a vector diagram.
Open QuestionA 1130-kg car is held in place by a light cable on a very smooth (frictionless) ramp (Fig. E5.8). The cable makes an angle of 31.0° above the surface of the ramp, and the ramp itself rises at 25.0° above the horizontal. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car.
