Chapter 4: Q4.3-3PE (page 161)

A cleaner pushes a 4.50-kg laundry cart in such a way that the net external force on it is 60.0 N. Calculate the magnitude of its acceleration.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the acceleration is13.334 m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of Newton’s second law of motion.

The 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. It is mathematically presented as:

Fnet=ma .........................(i)

where Fnet is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

02

Given Data

  • Mass of the laundry cart = 45 kg.
  • Net external force = 60 N.
03

Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart.

Substitute4.5 kg form and60 N forFnet in equation (i), and we get,

60鈥凬=4.5鈥刱驳脳aa=60鈥刱驳鈰�m/s24.5鈥刱驳a=13.334鈥刴/蝉2

Hence, the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart is13.334 m/s2.

Suppose the mass of a fully loaded module in which astronauts take off from the Moon is 10,000 kg. The thrust of its engines is 30,000 N.

(a) Calculate its the magnitude of acceleration in a vertical takeoff from the Moon.

(b) Could it lift off from Earth? If not, why not? If it could, calculate the magnitude of its acceleration.

To simulate the apparent weightlessness of space orbit, astronauts are trained in the hold of a cargo aircraft that is accelerating downward at g. Why will they appear to be weightless, as measured by standing on a bathroom scale, in this accelerated frame of reference? Is there any difference between their apparent weightlessness in orbit and in the aircraft?

Propose a force standard different from the example of a stretched spring discussed in the text. Your standard must be capable of producing the same force repeatedly.

In a traction setup for a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to increase the force along the femur using the same weight? (See Figure 4.30.) (Note that the femur is the shin bone shown in this image.

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.
