Chapter 2: Q2-3 (page 81)

You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradually speeding up. Cart C moves to the left, gradually slowing down. Which cart or carts, if any, experience a net force to the left?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Cart B experiences a net force to the left.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Net force

The net force, also known as the resultant force, is the sum of all forces acting on an item at the same time.

02

Find that when there is a net force to the left, whichever cart or carts are it?

  • Cart 'A' accelerates to the left at a near-constant rate.

  • Cart 'B' accelerates as it advances to the left.

  • Cart 鈥楥' moves to the left, swooping down gradually.

  • The net force acting on an object moving at constant speed is zero, hence there is no net force acting on cart 'A' toward the left.

  • When the item's velocity and force are in the same direction, the object will accelerate.

  • Because the Cart B is speeding up and travelling to the left, there is a net force operating on the cart 'B' to the left.

  • When the velocity and force directions are opposite, the item slows down.

  • Because the cart C is slowing down and travelling to the left, there is a net force operating on the cart 'C' to the right.

Thus, the Cart 鈥楤鈥� is the cart that is being pushed to the left by the net force.

A space station has the form of a hoop of radius R=14m, with mass M=6250 kg(Figure 11.91). Initially its center of mass is not moving, but it is spinning with angular speed 蝇0=0.0013rad/sThen a small package of mass m=6kgis thrown by a spring-loaded gun toward a nearby spacecraft as shown; the package has a speedv=40m/s after launch. Calculate the center-of-mass velocity of the space station and its rational speed after the launch.

A barbell consist of two small balls, each with mass m=0.4kg,at the ends of a very low mass rod of length d=0.6m. It is mounted on the end of a low-mass rigid rod of lengthb=0.9m(figure). The apparatus is set in motion in such a way that although the rod rotates clockwise with angular speed localid="1668604224599" 蝇1=15rad/s, the barbell maintains its vertical orientation. Calculate these vector quantities: (a) localid="1668604234930" L鈫�rot, (b) localid="1668604258387" L鈫�trans,B,(c) localid="1668604276383" L鈫�tot,B.

A device consisting of four heavy balls connected by low-mass rods is free to rotate about an axle, as shown in (Figure 11.98). It is initially not spinning. A small bullet traveling very fast buries itself in one of the balls.m=0.002kg, v=550m/s, M1=1.2kgM2=0.4kgm=0.002kg,R1=0.6mand R2=0.2m.The axle of the device is at the origin <0,0,0> and the bullet strikes at location <0.155,0.580,0>m .Just after the impact, what is the angular speed of the device? Note that this is an inelastic collision; the system鈥檚 temperature increases.

A thin spherical shell made of plastic carries a uniformly distributed negative charge \( - {Q_1}\). As shown in Figure 16.79, two large thin disks made of glass carry uniformly distributed positive and negative charges \( + {Q_2}\)and \( - {Q_2}\). The radius \({R_1}\)of the plastic spherical shell is very small compared to the radius \({R_2}\)of the glass disks. The distance from the center of the spherical shell to the positive disk is d, and d is much smaller than \({R_2}\). (a) Find the potential difference V2 - V1 in terms of the given quantities (Q1, Q2, R1, R2, and d). Point 1 is at the center of the plastic sphere, and point is just outside the sphere. (b) Find the potential difference V3-V2. Point 2 is just below the sphere, and point 3 is right beside the positive glass disk. (c) Suppose that the plastic shell is replaced by a solid metal sphere with radius R1carrying charge -Q1. State whether the absolute magnitudes of the potential differences would be greater than, less than, or the same as they were with the plastic shell in place. Explain briefly, including an appropriate diagram.

Question: The following questions refer to the circuit shown in Figure 18.114, consisting of two flashlight batteries and two Nichrome wires of different lengths and different thicknesses as shown (corresponding roughly to your own thick and thin Nichrome wires).



The thin wire is 50 cm long, and its diameter is 0.25 mm. The thick wire is 15 cm long, and its diameter is 0.35 mm. (a) The emf of each flashlight battery is 1.5 V. Determine the steady-state electric field inside each Nichrome wire. Remember that in the steady state you must satisfy both the current node rule and energy conservation. These two principles give you two equations for the two unknown fields. (b) The electron mobility

in room-temperature Nichrome is about 7脳10-5(ms)(Ns). Show that it takes an electron 36 min to drift through the two Nichrome wires from location B to location A. (c) On the other hand, about how long did it take to establish the steady state when the circuit was first assembled? Give a very approximate numerical answer, not a precise one. (d) There are about 9脳1028mobile electrons per cubic meter in Nichrome. How many electrons cross the junction between the two wires every second?
