Five balls move through the air as shown in FIGURE Q6.17 All five have the same size and shape. Air resistance is not negligible. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the magnitudes of the accelerations aa to ae. Some may be equal. Give your answer in the form a7b=c7d7eand explain your ranking.

Now, based on the information presented above,ae>aa=ab>ad>ac.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

This force's magnitude is proportional to the magnitude of the acceleration.

02

Explanation (a)

The ball has mass here.m=50g

If the ball is simply released, there will be no air drag.

Then comes the acceleration.

aa=g.

03

Explanation (b)

we get mass of ball ism=100g

After that, the ball is simply released.

There will be no opposition from the air.

Then comes the accelerationab=g.

04

Explanation (c)

The net acceleration of the ball when it is travelling downward is

a=-g-Dm

The force of drag isD=14Av2

The ball's mass ism=50g

=0.50kg

we havev=20m/s

ac=-g-14A(20m/s)20.05kg

Magnitude of acceleration isac=g-14A(20m/s)20.05kg.

05

Explanation (d)

The ball's mass is nowm=100g=0.1kg

The ball is currently on its way down.

Thenad=-g-14A(20m/s)20.1kg

ad=g-14A(20m/s)20.1kg

06

Explanation (e)

e) The ball's mass is nowm=50g=0.05kg

The ball is now going upward.

The ball's acceleration is then increasedae=g+14Av2m

=-g+14A(20m/s)20.05kg

The magnitude of the ball's acceleration is

ae=g+14A(20m/s)20.05kg

Now, based on the information presented above,ae>aa=ab>ad>ac.

A football coach sits on a sled while two of his players build their strength by dragging the sled across the field with ropes. The friction force on the sled is 1000N, the players have equal pulls, and the angle between the two ropes is 20°. How hard must each player pull to drag the coach at a steady2.0m/s?

A 20kg loudspeaker is suspended 2.0 m below the ceiling by two 3.0-m-long cables that angle outward at equal angles. What is the tension in the cables?

Starting from rest, a 2500kghelicopter accelerates straight up at a constant 2.0m/s2.What is the helicopter's height at the moment its blades are providing an upward force of 26kN? The helicopter can be modeled as a2.6-m-diameter sphere.

An accident victim with a broken leg is being placed in traction. The patient wears a special boot with a pulley attached to the sole. The foot and boot together have a mass of 4.0kg, and the doctor has decided to hang a 6.0kgmass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes, as shown in FIGUREP6.41, and does not touch the bed.

a. Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton’s laws to analyze the hanging mass.

b. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle u for the upper rope?

c. What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?
