- A freight train consists of an engine and several identical cars on a straight, level track. Which of the following statements are true? A. If the train is moving at constant speed, the engine must be pulling with a force greater than the train's weight. B. If the train is moving at constant speed, the engine's pull on the first car must exceed that car's backward pull on the engine. C. If the train is moving at constant speed, the engine's pull must be equal to the force of friction. D. If the train is coasting, its inertia makes it slow down and eventually stoparrow_forward1. Newton's 2nd Law stipulates that "the sum of all forces acting on an object are equal to the mass times the acceleration of that object." Given the force diagram below, calculate the acceleration of the object (both magnitude and direction). The object is the smiley face, which has a mass of 12.6 kg (it's a very heavy smiley face). FPush = 36.2 N %3D Fg = Weightarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is not one of Newton’s Laws on motion? a. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object moves at constant velocityb. For any force there is always an equal but opposite reaction force.c. The force and the acceleration of a body are towards the same direction.arrow_forward
- Consider applying Newton's second law to a man riding an elevator (perhaps to calculate his acceleration). Which of the following forces must be considered? Choose all that apply. The force that the man's head exerts on his neck. The force of gravity on the elevator. The force the elevator cable exerts on the elevator car. The force that the elevator floor exerts on the man's feet. The force that the man's feet exert on the floor of the elevator. The force of gravity on the man.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are correct statements of Newton's 3rd law? Choose all that are correct. Any time an object feels a force (like gravity), it also feels a reaction force (like a table pushing up). Any time an object exerts a force on a second object, that second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force exerted on the object divided by its mass. If an object is at rest, that means 2 equal and opposite forces are acting on it.arrow_forwardAn object is at rest on a table. The earth is pulling this object down with a force of magnitude m · g. If we consider this force as the action of an action-reaction pair, what is the reaction force of this force m · g? a) The table pushes the object up b) The object pulls up to the ground c) The earth pushes up the table d)The object pushes the table down e)The table pushes down to the groundarrow_forward

B) When you push on an object, it pushes back just as strongly on you. C) Acceleration of an object is proportional to net force divided by mass. D) When one object exerts a force on a second object, the first object exerts an equal force on itself in the opposite direction.arrow_forwardA- Calculate the weight of a person who has a mass of 100kg. ____kg m/s/s B- A grocery bag can with stand a force ( weight ) of 49N before it rips apart, how many kilograms of apples can it safely hold? ____kg.
