Chapter 4: Q13CQ (page 160)

If a constant, nonzero force is applied to an object, what can you say about the velocity and acceleration of the object?

Short Answer

Expert verified

With the application of nonzero force, the velocity of the object changes, and the object accelerates.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of Newton’s second law of motion

Newton鈥檚 second law of motion states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on the system and is inversely proportional to the mass of the system. Mathematically,

Fnet=ma

HereFnetis the net force,localid="1654171055645" mis the mass, andlocalid="1654171210284" ais the acceleration.

02

The effect of nonzero force on the velocity and acceleration of the object

When a constant, nonzero force is applied to an object, then the object starts to accelerate. The acceleration of the body clearly indicates that the velocity of the object is changing.

Therefore, with the application of nonzero force, the velocity of the object changes, and the object accelerates

(a) If the rocket sled shown in Figure 4.32 starts with only one rocket burning, what is the magnitude of its acceleration? Assume that the mass of the system is 2100 kg, the thrust T is 2.4脳104 N, and the force of friction opposing the motion is known to be 650 N.

(b) Why is the acceleration not one-fourth of what it is with all rockets burning?

Figure 4.39 shows Superhero and Trusty Sidekick hanging motionless from a rope. Superhero鈥檚 mass is 90.0 kg, while Trusty Sidekick鈥檚 is 55.0 kg, and the mass of the rope is negligible.

(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the situation showing all forces acting on Superhero, Trusty Sidekick, and the rope.

(b) Find the tension in the rope above Superhero.

(c) Find the tension in the rope between Superhero and Trusty Sidekick. Indicate on your free-body diagram the system of interest used to solve each part.

What is the ratio of the strength of the strong nuclear force to that of the electromagnetic force? Based on this ratio, you might expect that the strong force dominates the nucleus, which is true for small nuclei. Large nuclei, however, have sizes greater than the range of the strong nuclear force. At these sizes, the electromagnetic force begins to affect nuclear stability. These facts will be used to explain nuclear fusion and fission later in this text.

Give a detailed example of how the exchange of a particle can result in an attractive force. (For example, consider one child pulling a toy out of the hands of another.)

Suppose a 60.0-kg gymnast climbs a rope.

(a) What is the tension in the rope if he climbs at a constant speed?

(b) What is the tension in the rope if he accelerates upward at a rate of 1.50 m/s2?
