You have a wooden bench in your living room. You set your backpack on the bench and lean your hand against the wall. Name two action-reaction pairs that are present in this situation.

zarkam21:

@Vocaloid @StraightLine @Nnesha @sillybilly123

Vocaloid:

backpack on the bench 1. downward force of gravity from the weight of the backpack on the bench 2. normal force upwards from the bench on the backpack hand on the wall 1. hand pressing against wall 2. wall pushing back against hand

zarkam21:

You push a shopping cart full of groceries. The shopping cart has a mass of 32 kg. a. What is the weight of your shopping cart? b. How much force must you apply to give the cart an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2? c. If you push with a force of 200 N, what is the acceleration of the cart? d. You are driving home from the store. If your car has an acceleration of 4.1 m/s2, and its engine is applying a forward force of 7000 N, what is the mass of your car?

Vocaloid:

a) weight = mg as usual for b-d use F = ma and solve for the appropriate variable, make sure your units make sense

Vocaloid:

still there?

zarkam21:

a.313.6 b.32/1.3=24.62N c.200/32=6.25 m/s 7000/4.1=1707.32

zarkam21:

for d kg as the measurement

Vocaloid:

check b again F = ma

zarkam21:

a.313.6 b.32/1.3=41.6N c.200/32=6.25 m/s 7000/4.1=1707.32kg

Vocaloid:

good just change acceleration to m/s/s

Vocaloid:

also weight needs to be Newtons

zarkam21:

a.313.6 N b.32/1.3=41.6N c.200/32=6.25 m/s/s 7000/4.1=1707.32kg

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

You have a ball with mass 1.3 kg tied to a rope, and you spin it in a circle of radius 1.8 m. If the ball is moving at a speed of 3 m/s, what is the centripetal force acting on the ball?

zarkam21:

mv^2/r

zarkam21:

1.3(3)^2/1.8

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

6.5N

Vocaloid:

good

zarkam21:

Andrew and Warren sit on opposite sides of a table of mass 28 kg. Andrew pushes the table to the right with a force of 277 N, and Warren pushes the table to the left with a force of 215 N. (Assume there is no friction.) a. Draw the free-body diagram of the table. (You do not need to draw it perfectly to scale. Just make sure the directions are correct.) b. Write the expression for the net force on the table along the y-axis. c. Write the expression for the net force on the table along the x-axis. d. What is the normal force acting on the table? e. What is the net force on the table along the x-axis, including direction? f. What is the acceleration of the table, including direction?

Vocaloid:

your fbd should have 4 forces: normal force, gravity, left force, right force

zarkam21:

|dw:1517417497562:dw|

Vocaloid:

don't forget the normal force + weight force

zarkam21:

that would be up and down right

Vocaloid:

yes

zarkam21:

|dw:1517417578581:dw|

Vocaloid:

good, just be sure to label them as Fn and Fg

Vocaloid:

|dw:1517417701206:dw|

Vocaloid:

for b) net force in y = 0 = Fn - Fg c) net force in x = right force - left force = 277-215N

zarkam21:

y = 0 = Fn - F(9.8)

zarkam21:

right force - left force = 277-215N=62N

Vocaloid:

Fg = mg y = 0 = Fn - Fg = Fn - (28)(9.8) = 0 they don't ask you to solve for normal force yet (that's in part d) so just leave it like this if you want

zarkam21:

b. Write the expression for the net force on the table along the y-axis. (2 points) y = 0 = Fn - Fg = Fn - (28)(9.8) = 0 c. Write the expression for the net force on the table along the x-axis. (2 points) right force - left force = 277-215N=62N

Vocaloid:

good for d) we know that 0 = Fn - (28)(9.8) so solve for Fn

zarkam21:

0 = F-(28)(9.8) Fn=274.4

Vocaloid:

good (force is almost always Newtons as usual)

zarkam21:

alright so for E, 62n right

Vocaloid:

good for f) just use f = ma with that 62N force and the 28kg mass to find accelerationo remember that units are m/s/s probably need to go after this

zarkam21:

102.21m/s/s

zarkam21:

Thanks!

Vocaloid:

other way around, you need to divide a = F/m

zarkam21:

2.21m/s/s

Vocaloid:

as a quick tip you want to check that your answers make sense in real life, 102.21 m/s/s is approaching the speed of sound 2.21 m/s/s is correct

zarkam21:

Yeah i should probably do that :O
