Problems 43 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
A rocket is being launched straight up. Air resistance is not negligible.
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?
A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s2. What will the acceleration be if
a. The force is halved?
b. The object’s mass is halved?
c. The force and the object’s mass are both halved?
d. The force is halved and the object’s mass is doubled?
17. Which of the following are inertial reference frames? Explain.
a. A car driving at steady speed on a straight and level road.
b. A car driving at steady speed up a 10° incline.
c. A car speeding up after leaving a stop sign.
d. A car driving at steady speed around a curve.
Problems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:
a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector 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.
