1. A ball of mass m is attached to a string of length L. The ball is then swung in a
circle of radius r such that the string traces out the surface of a cone. For this problem
we will neglect air resistance.
a. Sketch a pictorial representation of the physical situation and label any quantities of
interest. In addition, establish a coordinate system for this problem and draw a free
body diagram for the ball. (See sections 1.7 and 5.7 of the text on how to draw a
correct pictorial representation and free body diagram.)
b. Write down Newton's Second Law using the coordinate system from part (a) and
the forces identified on your free body diagram.
c. Determine a symbolic expression for the tension T in the string and the angular
velocity w of the ball. These should be expressed in terms of the given quantities L,
m, r and the acceleration due to gravity, g. Check the physical units of
expressions to make sure that you get the units of force and angular velocity.

The 80 kg man pushes on the 120 kg crate with a horizontal force F. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the crate and the surface are Us = 0.3 and Uk = 0.2. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the man and the surface are Us = 0.8 and Uk = 0.5.
a. Calculate the normal force generated by the surface on the man and the crate.
b. Using the information from part a, prove that the man will be able to move the crate
c. what is the greatest acceleration the man can give the crate?
Tommy is working on a physics problem and asks his friend Sarah to check his work. He is to draw a free body diagram for a man walking to the left and comes up with the following:
He reasons, “The man is walking to the left, so the force of friction is acting in the opposite direction. The normal force should be opposite and equal to that of the gravitational force.”
Is Tommy correct with his diagram and reasoning? If so, explain. If not, what mistake did he make?
Communication throughout the test will also be evaluated on 1) rounding using significant digits, 2) proper use of units, 3) organization and neatness, and 4) showing all work

Two horizontal forces act on the plane: the thrust of the propeller and air resistance. Which of the following statements can be correctly drawn from the scenario above? * The plane is being dragged by air, causing it to decelerate. O Forces are acting on the plane, so it will accelerate. O The net force acting on the plane is zero. The thrust of the propeller is greater than the air resistance, causing the plane to move forward.arrow_forward* Incorrect Newton's Third Law states that: a) A particle remains at rest or continues to move with a uniform velocity if there is no unbalanced force acting on it. b) The acceleration of a particle is proportional to the vector sum of forces acting on it, and is in the direction of this vector sum. O c) The forces of action and reaction between interacting bodies are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and collinear.

As seen in the picture, an airboat is a special type of boat that has a large fan mounted on the back instead of a motor that sits in the water. It is used in places where the water is shallow and weedy, so motors that stick down into the water cannot be used. a) Using Newton’s Third Law, explain why the fan needs to be pointed so the air blows out backwards. b) If the force of the fan pushes the air backwards with 150 N, what is the forward force of the air on the boat? If the mass of the boat is 220 kg, and you ignore friction between the boat and the water, find how far the boat will travel in the first minute. c) How can the fan on the airboat be used to change the direction the boat is travelling in?
