- Describe a situation in which the net external force on a system is not zero, yet its speed remains constant.arrow_forwardas a fish jump vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. a force chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 48.5 kg. if the fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 5.80 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine the following. a. the salmon's acceleration b. the magnitude of the force F during this intervalarrow_forward1. TWO forces of magnitudes 6 N and 8 N acting on a particle P. The resultant force acting on P is of magnitude: A) 2N B)10N C)14N D)100Narrow_forward
- Given q1 =2nC, q2 =-1nC, L=2cm, and Fnet =9x10-5 N on q2 as shown, determine: a) the value of q3 b) the net force experienced by q3arrow_forwardAn object of mass m = 1.00 kg is observed to have an acceleration a→ with a magnitude of 10.0 m/s2 in a direction 60.0° east of north. As shown a view of the object from above. The force F2→ acting on the object has a magnitude of 5.00 N and is directed north. Determine the magnitude and direction of the one other horizontal force F1→ acting on the object.arrow_forwardIn 1991, a lobster with a mass of 20.0 kg was caught off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.Imagine this lobster involved in a friendly tug of war with several smaller lobsters on ahorizontal plane at the bottom of the sea. Suppose the smaller lobsters are able to drag thelarge lobster, so that after the large lobster has been moved 1.55 m its speed is 0.550 m/s. Ifthe lobster is initially at rest, what is the magnitude of the net force applied to it by thesmaller lobsters? Assume that friction and resistance due to moving through water arenegligiblearrow_forward
- When an object falls freely under the influence of gravity there is a net force mg exerted on it by the Earth. Yet by Newton’s third law the object exerts an equal and opposite force on the Earth. Does the Earth move? Explain.arrow_forward1. A crate is lying on a plane inclined at an angle ɵ. What is the angle between the weight of the crate and the force exerted by the plane on the crate? a) θ - 180° b) θ c) 180° - θ d) 180° 2. An object is being acted upon by an unbalanced force if a) it is speeding up b) it is slowing down c) it changes its direction d) all of the abovearrow_forwardAs a fish jumps vertically out of the water, assume that only two significant forces act on it: an upward force F exerted by the tail fin and the downward force due to gravity. A record Chinook salmon has a length of 1.50 m and a mass of 61.0 kg. If this fish is moving upward at 3.00 m/s as its head first breaks the surface and has an upward speed of 6.00 m/s after two-thirds of its length has left the surface, assume constant acceleration and determine (a) the salmon’s acceleration and (b) the magnitude of the force F during this interval.arrow_forward
- Only one force acts on an object. Can the object have zero acceleration? Can it have zero velocity? Explain you answer in words.arrow_forwardTwo crates, A and B, sit side by side on a frictionless horizontal surface. The crates havemasses Ma and Mb. A horizontal force F is applied to crate A and the two crates move offto the right. (a) Draw clearly labelled FBD for Crate A and Crate B. (b) If the magnitudeof force F is less than the total weight of the two crates, will it cause the crates to move?Why or why not?arrow_forwardA 10.0 kg box rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction is 0.40 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0 30. Determine the force of friction, acting on the box if a horizontal applied force is exerted on it of magnitude: (A) 0, (B) 10 N, (C) 20 N, (D) 38 N, and (E) 40 N.arrow_forward
