Force Diagrams?? Please help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. Read each description below. Choose the force diagram (free-body diagram) that best represents the description. The forces are acting on the object in red type. You may neglect the effects of air resistance. | A. Mindy's Christmas tree ornament hangs motionless on a tree. | B. Corey's Christmas tree ornament is falling to the floor. | C. A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. | D. A ball dropped by Melissa is falling downward toward the floor. | E. Matt's book is motionless on a table. | F. A ball that was thrown upward by Yvonne is at the top of its path. |

For each statement, please choose a diagram representing the force on the object.

These are the diagram options.

OpenStudy (ghazi):

for A its C because two forces are equal and opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the next one be D?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

for B its A because weight of the body is working , there is no upward force so its falling down

OpenStudy (ghazi):

for C its B

OpenStudy (ghazi):

for E its C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You forgot D. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And F.

OpenStudy (ghazi):

oops for D its A

OpenStudy (ghazi):

F--A

Thank you SOOO much. You are a life saver. Do you think you could help me with a few more questions?

OpenStudy (ghazi):

just analyse the direction of net force and you can find movement

OpenStudy (ghazi):

YW , sure

Ok, thanks. So here's the question: 2. Read each description below. Choose the force diagram (free-body diagram) that best represents the description. You may neglect the effects of air resistance. | A. Mark's physics book is on the desk. Mark pushes horizontally (from the side) on the book, but the book does not move. | B. Kendall's physics book is on the desk. Kendall pushes horizontally (from the side) on the book, and the book moves across the desk at a constant speed. | C. Jenny pushes a cart at constant velocity down the grocery store aisle. | D. Eddy is driving his Camaro down a straight, level road while on cruise control. | E. Ryan is accelerating his Dakota down a straight, level road. | F. Jackie's Viper is parked on the shoulder of the road while she changes a flat tire. |
