Is the statement 鈥淎n object always moves in the direction of the net force acting on it鈥 true or false? Explain.
Problems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:
a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector au and show it as a vector next to your diagram. Or, if appropriate, write
b. If possible, identify the direction of the velocity vector and show it as a labeled vector.
c. Write a short description of a real object for which this is the
correct free-body diagram. Use Examples 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 as
models of what a description should be like.

An object experiencing a constant force accelerates at .
What will the acceleration of this object be if
a. The force is halved? Explain.
b. The mass is halved?
c. The force is halved and the mass is halved?
Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
You鈥檝e jumped down from a platform. Your feet are touching
the ground and your knees are flexing as you stop.
A heavy box is in the back of a truck. The truck is accelerating to the right. Draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram for the box .
