Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
You are bungee jumping from a high bridge. You are moving
downward while the bungee cord is stretching.
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.

A rubber ball bounces. We’d like to understand how the ball bounces. a. A rubber ball has been dropped and is bouncing off the floor. Draw a motion diagram of the ball during the brief time interval that it is in contact with the floor. Show 4 or 5 frames as the ball compresses, then another 4 or 5 frames as it expands. What is the direction of a u during each of these parts of the motion? b. Draw a picture of the ball in contact with the floor and identify all forces acting on the ball. c. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball during its contact with the ground. Is there a net force acting on the ball? If so, in which direction? d. Write a paragraph in which you describe what you learned from parts a to c and in which you answer the question: How does a ball bounce?
Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
You’ve slammed on the brakes and your car is skidding to a
stop while going down a hill.
A single force with x-component Fxacts on a 500 g object as it moves along the x-axis. The object’s acceleration graph (ax versus t) is shown in FIGURE. Draw a graph of Fx versus t.
