Chapter 5, Problem 1Q

Figure 5-19 gives the free-body diagram for four situations in which an object is pulled by several forces across a frictionless floor, as seen from overhead. In which situations does the acceleration a of the object have (a) an x component and (b) a y component? (c) In each situation, give the direction of a by naming either a quadrant or a direction along an axis. (Don’t reach for the calculator because this can be answered with a few mental calculations.)

Answer to Problem 1Q

Solution

a) 2, 3 and 4.

b) 1, 3 and 4.

c) 1 – Along + y-axis, 2- Along + x-axis, 3- In 4th quadrant and 4- In 3rd quadrant.

Explanation of Solution

1) Concept:

Using the concept of net force from the Newton’s second law of motion, we can find the net force acting on the given object for given conditions.

2) Calculations:

a) According to Newton’s second law net force is product of mass and acceleration.

If we want x component acceleration there must be net force in x direction

So, For situation 1

Net force in x direction

Fnet=5-3-2=0.

So, there is no x component of acceleration.

For Situation 2

Net Force in x direction

Fnet=3-2=1 N.

As net force is 1N, x component of acceleration is present.

For Situation 3

Net Force in x direction

Fnet=5-4=1N.

As net force is 1N, x component of acceleration is present.

For Situation 4

Net Force in x direction

Fnet=3-5=-2 N.

As net force is 1N, x component of acceleration is present.

b)

For situation 1

Net force in y direction

Fnet=7-4=3.

So, there is y component of acceleration.

For Situation 2

Net Force in y direction

Fnet=6-2-4=0 N.

As net force is no y component of acceleration is present.

For Situation 3

Net Force in y direction

Fnet=6-7=-1N.

As net force is -1N, y component of acceleration is present.

For Situation 4

Net Force in y direction

Fnet=3+2-5-4=-4 N.

As net force is -4N, y component of acceleration is present.

c) Direction of acceleration is in direction of net force.

For situation 1 there is only net force is only in +y direction so acceleration is also in +y direction.

For situation 2 there is only net force is only +x direction so acceleration is also +x direction.

For situation 3 as there is net force both in x and y direction and total net force is in fourth quadrant.

 For situation 4 as there is net force both in x and y direction and total net force is in third quadrant.

Conclusion:  Using the equations from the Newton’s second law of motion and vector algebra, it is possible to find the net force acting on the system.

He then continues sliding on the level ice. a) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the athlete and ice is 0.20 (neglect air resistance) find speed (m/s) of athlete at the foot of the plane. b) ) find the distance (m) from the foot of the plane to the point where he has landed to the level ice
In attempting to pass the puck to a teammate, a hockey player gives it an initial speed of 2.43 m/s. However, this speed is inadequate to compensate for the kinetic friction between the puck and the ice. As a result, the puck travels only one-half the distance between the players before sliding to a halt. What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players? Number Units
In attempting to pass the puck to a teammate, a hockey player gives it an initial speed of 1.91 m/s. However, this speed is inadequate to compensate for the kinetic friction between the puck and the ice. As a result, the puck travels only one-half the distance between the players before sliding to a halt. What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players?
