Ken and Joanne are astronauts floating some distance apart in space. They are joined by a safety cord whose ends are tied around their waists. If Ken starts pulling on the cord, will he pull Joanne toward him, or will he pull himself toward Joanne, or will both astronauts move? Explain.
How do you assign direction to normal forces? Please use examples to demonstrate.
A baseball is thrown by the pitcher to the second baseman in an attempt to prevent someone from stealing a base. At some point during this process, your friend says that the sum of the forces exerted on the baseball can be described with the equation ΣF=−mg. Which point during the baseball's motion is your friend referring to? (Neglect air resistance)
a. While the second baseman is catching the ball.
b. While the pitcher is throwing the ball.
c. While the ball is in the air.
d. This equation does not describe any part of the ball's trip.
Which answer is correct and why?

- How does the force vector on the cannonball in projectile change throughout the cannonball's trajectory? height y= 0 the angle of the projectile to 30o Initial velocity = 18m/s. Select 2 correct answer(s) There is no force in the horizontal direction. There is no force in the vertical direction. The ball is not acted upon by any force. A constant downward force acts on the projectile.arrow_forwardIn the figure, is the tension in the rope between the ceiling and Superhero the same as the tension in the rope between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick? A. Jimmy: "Yes, of course it is the same. It's a single rope with a single tension force on both ends. Booyah!" B. Emmy: "I think they are different. The tension in the space between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick only has to hold up Trusty Sidekick, but the tension above Superhero has to hold up both Superhero and Trusty Sidekick. C. Timmy: "Wouldn't your, 'both ends' be the end on the ceiling and the end at Trusty Sidekick? How can you have a different 'both ends' for the space between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick? Wouldn't that only work if they had two different ropes? Or if the rope breaks? The rope clearly holds, so the tension force must be the same everywhere along the rope.
