Two horizontal forces,
pull a banana split across a frictionlesslunch counter. Without using acalculator, determine which of thevectors in the free-body diagram ofFig. 5-20 best represent (a) and(b) . What is the net-force componentalong (c) the xaxis and (d) the yaxis? Into which quadrants do (e) thenet-force vector and (f) the split鈥檚 accelerationvector point?
Figure 5-28 shows four choices for the direction of a force of magnitude F to be applied to a block on an inclined plane. The directions are either horizontal or vertical. (For choice b, the force is not enough to lift the block off the plane.) Rank the choices according to the magnitude of the normal force acting on the block from the
plane, greatest first.

An 85 kgman lowers himself to the ground from a height of 10.0 mby holding onto a rope that runs over a frictionless pulley to a 65 kgsandbag. With what speed does the man hit the ground if he started from rest?
A firefighter who weighs 712 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 3.00 m/s2, directed downward. (a) What is the magnitude of the vertical force on the firefighter from the pole and (b) What is the direction (up or down) of the vertical force on the firefighter from the pole and (c) What is the magnitude of the vertical force on the pole from the firefighter? and (d) What is the direction of the vertical force on the pole from the firefighter?
Figure 5-19 gives the free-body diagram for four situations in which an object is pulled by several forces across a frictionless floor, as seen from overhead. In which situations does the accelerationof the object have (a) an x component and (b) a y component? (c) In each situation, give the direction ofby naming either a quadrant or a direction along an axis. (Don鈥檛 reach for the calculator because this can be answered with a few mental calculations.)
