Question
1. Sketch the free body diagram of a strong person pushing a box along a horizontal floor if the box is not moving.
2. Sketch the free body diagram of a weaker person pushing a box along a horizontal floor if the box is moving with a constant acceleration.
3. If gravity were to magically double in question 2, would the free body diagram look different? Sketch the free body diagram for this case while the box is still moving with a constant acceleration.

- Please help with these questionsarrow_forwardAlbert Einstein stands on the platform of a scales in the elevator car. Assume that Einstein's mass is 72.2 m = kg. When the elevator is stationary and does not move, its weight is W = m x g = 72.2 x 9.8 = 708 N. But if the elevator moves upwards at a constant acceleration, the scales show more weight, and if the elevator moves downwards at the same acceleration, the scales show less weight. Can you explain the reason? This is my physics questionarrow_forward2. Next, imagine the rather than sliding down the hill, the skier holds onto a rope that is connected to a tree at the top of the hill, and that the force of the rope holds the skier in place. How would you modify your force diagram now? Hint: The rope is parallel to the surface of the hill. Show that the net force is zero, again by using the parallelogram rule to show that any 2 forces add up to exactly cancel the 3rd force. Note that tension force is always along the direction of the rope but is not drawn equal to the length of the rope. What must be true for an object in equilibrium is that vector sum of the forces in any and every direction must equal zero. Though, we only need to show that along our chosen coordinate axes. Here it is okay to use the "usual" x- and y- directionsarrow_forward

An elevator is moving downward at 1m/s. It is speeding up, with an acceleration of 3m/s². A block with a weight of 40N sits inside the elevator. a) What direction does the acceleration point? b) What is the mass of the block? c) Draw a force diagram of the block, and fill out the force table for the block below.

Which of the following is true? 1. The force of the floor on Steven is smaller in magnitude than the force of gravity on Steven. Steven accelerates upward. 2. The force of the floor on Steven is equal and opposite to the force of gravity on Steven. 3. The force of the floor on Steven is greater in magnitude than the force of gravity on Steven. Steven accelerates upward. 4. The force of the floor on Steven is greater in magnitude than the force of gravity on Steven. Steven accelerates downward. 5. The force of the floor on Steven is smaller in magnitude than the force of gravity on Steven. Steven accelerates downward.arrow_forwardThat same 80 kg object is sliding across the table because you are applying a force of +300 N.
