- A 99-kg box, initially at rest on a frictionless surface, accelerates for 2 s over a distance of 100 m while acted on by a constant horizontal force P. Find the magnitude of P. P = Narrow_forwardPhysics student Matt has just learned about Newton's 3rd law of motion. He's considering a car pulling a trailer as shown below. He thinks that since the tension force forward on the trailer is equal and opposite to the tension force backwards on the car, the net force on the car must be zero and therefore the car can't accelerate. Which one (or more) of the following statements is correct: The tension force forward on the trailer is not the same magnitude as the tension force backwards on the car. Matt has not considered all the forces acting on the car, such as the friction between the wheels and the ground, in order to calculate the net force on the car. Correct! The net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object so you must include all forces to then apply Fnet = ma. O The net force on the car is always zero and therefore the car cannot accelerate. Since the 2 tension forces act on different objects you can't add them together to get a "net force" on either object.arrow_forwardA box full of books rests on a wooden floor. The normal force the floor exerts on the box is 317 N. A) You push horizontally on the box with a force of 120 N, but it refuses to budge. What can you say about the coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor? (Pick from the multiple-choice for this question) B) If you must push horizontally on the box with a force of at least 150 N to start it sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction? C) Once the box is sliding, you only have to push with a force of 120 N to keep it sliding at constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?arrow_forward
- When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 986 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1049 N. The mass of the sky diver is 101 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction.
