Concept explainers
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.)
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?

- Make force diagrams for the following situations. Draw & label forces as arrows with appropriate length. 1. A car propelled by a 250N force with air drag of 125 N/(m/s) at winds of 1 &2 m/s (2 diagrams).arrow_forwardI need help ASAP thank you so much. Johnny is pulling a cart (10 kg) to the left with a force of 50 N. There is a force of friction of 40 N acting on the cart. 1. What is the net force (Fnet) acting on the cart? Include the unit and direction of the net force. 2. As a result of the net force in (b), what is going to happen to the motion of the cart? Must describe velocity and direction of the motion. Use word bank below for the answer to this. Word Bank: constant velocity, going faster/slower, to the left/right 3. What is your scientific data supporting your claim? Include unit and direction of your evidence. 4. Why does your evidence support your claim?arrow_forwardVI. Does kinetic friction depend on the normal force? 21. Make a prediction. If normal force increases, does the kinetic friction increase, decrease, or stay the same? Give a reason r your prediction. 22. Use the Larger Area. Place the larger area of the block on the track. Record the hanging mass in the data table. Add a 500g rectangular block on top of the wood block. Change the hanging mass to 500g 23. Run the Experiment. Hang the 500g mass over the pulley. Repeat the experiment as before. 24. Change the Normal Force. Add a second 500g rectangular block on top of the block. Record the total mass in the data table. Perform the experiment again. 25. Change the Normal Force Again. Repeat the experiment by adding another 500g rectangular block on top of the block. Record the total mass. If the block does not move at all or stops after moving a short distance, add more mass to the hanging mass. Normal Force Dependence Total Block Hanging Mass Normal Force n = Mg (N) Mass Acceleration…arrow_forward
