In each of the following cases identify all objects in the surroundings that exert forces on the system, and draw a free-body diagram for the system. Assume that air resistance is negligible. (a) You hit a baseball with a bat. Choose the baseball as the system, and consider the instant of contact with the bat. (b) You are playing with a yo-yo. Choose the yo-yo as the system. As the yo-yo moves downward, you pull up on the string.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The free body diagram of the baseball as a system has been drawn below.

(b) The free body diagram of the yo-yo as a system has been drawn below.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data 

The given data is listed below,

The air resistance is negligible.

02

Significance of Newton’s first law for the objects

This law states that a body will continue to move in a straight line in a uniform motion if no external force acts on that body.

Newton’s first law helps in identifying the forces in the free body diagram of the baseball-bat system and the yo-yo system.

03

Determination of the free body diagram when baseball is considered a system

(a)

The forces that will act on the baseball if it is considered as the system are force due to the hitting of the bat and the force due to gravity.

The free-body diagram of the baseball and the bat is drawn below,

Here, Fbatis the force exerted by the bat on the baseball and Fgis the force due to the gravity.

(b) Determination of the free body diagram when the yo-yo is considered a system

The forces that will act on the baseball if it is considered as the system are force applied for pulling the yo-yo and the force due to gravity.

The free-body diagram of the yo-yo as a system has been drawn below-

Here, Fsis the force needed to pull up the yo-yo and Fgis force acting downwards due to the acceleration due to gravity.

P49 The Ferris wheel in Figure 5.80is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 10m . Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 10.5s. Consider a rider whose mass is 56kg .

(a) At the bottom of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum? (b) At the bottom of the ride, what is the vector gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the rider?

(c) At the bottom of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

(d) Next consider the situation at the top of the ride. At the top of the ride, what is the rate of change of the rider's momentum?

(e) At the top of the ride, what is the vector gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the rider?

(f) At the top of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

A rider feels heavier if the electric, interatomic contact force of the seat on the rider is larger than the rider's weight mg (and the rider sinks more deeply into the seat cushion). A rider feels lighter if the contact force of the seat is smaller than the rider's weight (and the rider does not sink as far into the seat cushion).

(g) Does a rider feel heavier or lighter at the bottom of a Ferris wheel ride?

(h) Does a rider feel heavier or lighter at the top of a Ferris wheel ride?

A ball of mass 450 g hangs from a spring whose stiffness is 110N/m. A string is attached to the ball and you are pulling the string to the right, so that the ball hangs motionless, as shown in Figure. In this situation the spring is stretched, and its length is15 cm. What would be the relaxed length of the spring, if it were detached from the ball and laid on a table?

An800kgload is suspended as shown in Figure 5.69. (a) Calculate the tension in all three wires (that is, the magnitude of the tension force exerted by each of these wires). (b) These wires are made of a material whose value for Young’s modulus is 1.3×1011N/m2. The diameter of the wires is 1.1m. What is the strain (fractional stretch) in each wire?

A small block of mass m is attached to a spring with stiffness ks and relaxed lengthL. The other end of the spring is fastened to a fixed point on a low-friction table. The block slides on the table in a circular path of radiusR>L. How long does it take for the block to go around once?

At a particular instant the magnitude of the momentum of a planet is 2.3×1029kg.m/s, and the force exerted on it by the star it is orbiting is 8.9×1022N. The angle between the planet's momentum and the gravitational force exerted by the star is 123°.

(a) What is the parallel component of the force on the planet by the star?

(b) What will the magnitude of the planet's momentum be after 9h?
