Chapter 7: Q. 8 (page 176)

A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. 鈥淎fter all,鈥� she says, 鈥淣ewton鈥檚 third law says that no matter how hard I pull, the wagon will exert an equal but opposite force on me. So I will never be able to get it to move forward.鈥� What would you say to her in reply?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Yes, the wagon will move forward without any hinderance.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday.

02

Explanation

According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

So, you can tell your child that when you push the wagon, it applies equal force on your hand in the opposite direction . This force acts on the hand . Force applied on the wagon will show its effect and wagon will move forward without any hinderance provided there is absence of frictional force.

03

Final answer

The force that acts on hand in backward direction will be balanced by frictional force of the ground on the body . So hand will not move in backward direction. Only wagon will move forward as you push the wagon .

In case a, in the figure block A is accelerated across a frictionless table by a hanging 10Nweight (1.02kg). In case b, block A is accelerated across a frictionless table by a steady 10Ntension in the string. The string is massless, and the pulley is massless and frictionless. Is A鈥檚 acceleration in case b greater than, less than, or equal to its acceleration in case a? Explain.

A 50-cm-diameter, 400 g beach ball is dropped with a 4.0 mg ant riding on the top. The ball experiences air resistance, but the ant does not. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the ant when the ball鈥檚 speed is 2.0 m/s?

A 1000kgcar pushes a 2000kgtruck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push against the ground with a force of 4500N. Rolling friction can be neglected.

a. What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck?

b. What is the magnitude of the force of the truck on the car?

The two blocks in FIGUREP7.34are sliding down the incline. What is the tension in the massless string?

FIGURE P7.26shows two strong magnets on opposite sides of a small table. The long-range attractive force between the magnets keeps the lower magnet in place.

a. Draw an interaction diagram and draw free-body diagrams for both magnets and the table. Use dashed lines to connect the members of an action/reaction pair.

b. The lower magnet is being pulled upward against the bottom of the table. Suppose that each magnet鈥檚 weight is 2.0Nand that the magnetic force of the lower magnet on the upper magnet is 6.0N. How hard does the lower magnet push against the table?
