- 19. As you sit in your chair and study your physics (presuming that you do), the force of gravity acts downward upon your body. The reaction force to the force of the Earth pulling you downward is a. the force of the chair pushing you upward b. the force of the floor pushing your chair upward c. the force of the Earth pushing you upward d. the force of air molecules pushing you upwards e. the force of your body pulling the Earth upwards f . nonsense! Gravity is a field force and there is no such reaction force. Justify your answer:arrow_forwardJason is pulling a box across the room. He is pulling with a force of 15 newtons and his arm is making a 77 angle with the horizontal, if the box weighs 9 newtons what is the net force on the box in the vertical direction? Treat up as the positive direction, and down as the negative direction.arrow_forwardtapplication of NZL 1. I conduct a Physics experiment on the moon and on Earth. In this experiment, I push on my 70 kg partner who is standing on a frictionless, horizontal floor (of course) with 100 N of force parallel to the ground. (a) What is his acceleration on Earth? (b) How would the result change when I conduct it on the moon? Explain/show. 2. I am crouched down at rest near the surface of the Earth. I then spring upward as hard as I can. While springing upward, what is the relationship between the normal force applied to me from the floor and the gravitational force exerted on me by the Earth? Explain why this must be so.

( use g =9.81 m/s2) 1. ignoring friction, what is the acceleration of the box? 2. What is the weight of the box? 3. What is the normal force exerted on the box by the ground?arrow_forwardA scaffold suspended from a building by two ropes one painters on it. The painter has a force of 400N going down and the scaffold has a force of 120 N going down as well. The left rope holding up the scaffold has a force of 320N up. If the forces going up are balanced (Force net =0) with the forces going down- How much force is on the other rope?______newtons.arrow_forward
- Consider applying Newton's law to a man riding an elevator (perhaps calculating his acceleration). Which of the following forces must be considered? Choose all that apply. 1.) The force that the man's feet exert on the floor of the elevator. 2.) The force of gravity on the elevator. 3.) The force of the elevator cable exerts on the elevator car. 4.) The force that the elevator floor exerts on the man's feet. 5.) The force of gravity on the man. 6.) The force that the man's head exerts on his neck.arrow_forward1. Here's our force diagram from Part 1: In this drawing, we've rotated the coordinate axes so the x-axis is parallel with the ramp surface and the y-axis is perpendicular. Now most of the forces are aligned with the axes, except one. Which force is not aligned with the new axes? Hint: Note: our textbook would label F_{string}Fstring as either F_TFT or just TT for the tension force. F_gFg , the force of earth's gravity on the object, also known as the weight w of the object. F_NFN, the normal force (sometimes labeled n ) on the object by the ramp surface.
