MAN Velocity (m/s)arrow_forwardMake a sketch of the setup that is similar to the picture in the Equipment section. Draw and label vectors to indicate the direction of the velocity and the direction of the acceleration for both the hanging object A and the block. Also assign symbols to the “known” quantities in the problem: the mass of object A and the mass of the block. Write down the principles of physics that you will use to solve the problem. What quantities can you measure using the video analysis software? Draw separate free-body diagrams of the forces on the block and the forces on object A after they start accelerating. Assign symbols to all of the forces, and define what they represent next to your diagram. It is useful to draw the acceleration vector for the object next to its free-body diagram. For each force diagram (one for the block and another one for object A), write down Newton's 2nd law in both the x and y directions. It is important to make sure that all of your signs are correct. Your answer…arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true regarding an object in freefall? You can ignore air resistance for this question. Select all that apply. A. A heavier object will fall faster than a lighter object. B. A ball is dropped off a tall tower. After 3 seconds the ball has fallen 45 m. This means its final velocity at that point is 15 m/s. C. The only force acting on an object in freefall is the force of gravity. D. An object is thrown upward. As it moves upwards its speed will decrease by 10 m/s each second. E. A ball is dropped from a tall tower. As it falls it will travel 10 m for each second that it falls. F. A ball is thrown up into the air. At the very top of its path, the acceleration on the ball is 0 m/s/s.arrow_forward

An object will move if an external force is applied. C. The motion of an object is parallel to the ground until it is the object's time to fall back into the ground. D. An object in motion, if unimpeded, will continue to be in motion; an external force is not necessary to maintain the motion.

- I need help with a physics question: A ball is launched directly upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 13 m/s, with the upward direction considered positive, and no air resistance. What is the maximum height the ball reaches in meters, how long does it take to reach this maximum point in seconds and what is the total displacement in meters of the ball for its entire motion of traveling from the ground to the top and returning. ***gravity is the only force acting on it*** Thanks!arrow_forwardSally is driving at a constant speed of 25 m/s on a straight horizontal road. She sees an obstacle on the road ahead and applies the brakes! The wheels lock causing the car to slide forward.

The truck and trailer accelerates at 0.75 m/s^2. Friction and air resistance act on both the truck and trailer. The total drag force is a constant 5 000 N, with a half of this force acting on the trailer.
