Chapter 2.1, Problem 2aT

Sketch a free-body diagram for a book at rest on a level table.

(Remember: A proper free-body diagram should not have anything on it except a representation of the book and the forces exerted on the book.)

Chapter 2.1, Problem 2aT, Sketch a free-body diagram for a book at rest on a level table. (Remember: A proper free-body

Make sure the label for each force indicates:

  • the type of force (gravitational, frictional, etc.),
  • the object on which the force is exerted, and
  • the object exerting the force.

1. What evidence do you have for the existence of each of the forces on your diagram?

2. What observation can you make that allows you to determine the relative magnitudes of the forces acting on the book?

How did you show the relative magnitudes of the forces on your diagram?

Directions: Write TRUE is the statement is correct but if it is false, change the underlined words with the correct answer. 1. A force is a push or pull 2. Force is a galar quantity 3. The unit of force is Newton (N) 4. In general, a body can have several forces acting on it at the same time 5. Inertial frame of reference are reference frame where Newton's First law are observable. 6. Another effect of a balanced force, equilibrium, is that a body accelerates. 7. The heavier the object, the lesser the inertia. 8. Forces acting on a body are unbalanced if the resultant force is not zero 9. In an inertial reference frame, No forces should be exerted within the frame. 10. Normal force is lateral in nature. П. Identify Action Reaction Pairs A student in hot air balloon ascends vertically at a constant speed. Consider the four forces in this situation: Fl= the weight of the baloon F2= the weight of the student F3= the force of the student pulling on the earth F4= the support force of the…
Application I. Direction: Solve the following problem. Put your answer on a separate sheet. 1. A piece of equipment weigh 539 N and 209 N on Earth and Mars, respectively. What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Mars? 2. Two forces of magnitudes 6.0 N and 4.0 N act on a 3.2 kg body. What is the acceleration produced when these forces are acting in the same direction? What is the acceleration produced when these forces are oppositely directed?
4. A 10 kg block on a level surface is pushed by a 50 N force directed 30 degrees below the horizontal (like this: ). The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.60 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. a. Does the block slide or stay put? Justify your answer with a calculation. b. If it slides, calculate its acceleration. If it stays put, calculate the friction force acting on the block. Show your work.
