Chapter 2.1, Problem 3aT

A magnet is supported by another magnet as shown at right.
1. Draw a free-body diagram for magnet 2. The label for each of the forces on your diagram should indicate:

• the type of force (e.g., gravitational, normal),
• the object on which the force is exerted, and
• the object exerting the force.

Chapter 2.1, Problem 3aT, A magnet is supported by another magnet as shown at right. 1. Draw a free-body diagram for magnet 2.

2. Suppose that the magnets were replaced by stronger magnets of the same mass.

If this changes the free-body diagram for magnet 2, sketch the new free-body diagram and describe how the diagram changes. (Label the forces you did in part I above.) If the free-body diagram for magnet 2 does not change, explain why it does not.

3. Can a magnet exert a non-contact force on another object?

Can a magnet exert a contact force on another object?

Describe how you can use a magnet to exert both a contact force and a non-contact force on another magnet.

4. To ensure that you have accounted for all the forces acting on magnet 2 in parts 1 and 2:

List all the non-contact forces acting on magnet 2.

List all the contact forces acting on magnet 2. (Hint: Which objects are in contact with magnet 2?)

use the GRAPHICAL METHOD to solve the given problem below to recall what you have discussed in physics about the head-to-tail rule of constructing vector/force diagrams and about Newton’s 1st Law of motion.An electric light fixture weighing 15 N hangs from a point C, by two strings AC and BC. The string AC is inclined at 60° to the horizontal and BC at 45° to the horizontal as shown, determine the forces in the strings AC and BC.1. What scale did you use?2. What is the force in string AC?3. What is the force in string BC?
Please answer the questions which match to specific points in the derivation.  Assume an object of mass ‘m’ is orbiting an object of mass ‘M’ Assume no friction, air resistance, or space debris. Fnet is substituted for FG. What does this mean about how many forces are acting on the mass ‘m’? ‘a’ is substituted out for ac. What does variable ac represent? What does this mean about the motion of the mass ‘m’?  ‘m’ is cancelled out in this step. What does this mean “in real life” for this quantity?
Please explain and show your solution. Choose from the choices below. Thank you.
