Suppose a 59.5 kg gymnast climbs a rope. (a) What is the tension (in N) in the rope if he climbs at a constant speed? N. (b) What is the tension (in N) in the rope if he accelerates upward at a rate of 1.30 m/s? N.
A speed boat pulls a water-skier (with a mass of 100 kg) at a steady speed by a rope at 15 degrees above the horizontal. The water exerts a friction force of 50 N opposing the skier's motion. a) What is the tension in the rope? b) What is the normal force the water exerts to keep the skier from sinking?
A 60 kg teenager is standing on a skateboard. This is on earth, so a= -g = -10m/s^2. Draw a free body diagram for the teenager only. Draw a free body diagram for the tennager and the skateboard. What force does the skateboard exert on the teenager?
A 19.3 lb object has the acceleration components ax 4x = (0.35) + (0.73) ₁ ay = (10.3) - (0.79) What is the magnitude of the net force Fnet acting on the object at time t = 3.27 s? Fnet = What is the direction of the net force at this same time? Give the answer as a number of degrees 0 counterclockwise from the +x-axis. 0= N
Two forces, F1 and F2 (which is directed in the -x-direction), act on a 5.00-kg block as shown. The block slides horizontally. The magnitude of the forces are F1 = 50.0 N and F2 = 35.0 N. What is the horizontal acceleration (both magnitude and direction) of the block? (Assume that the block is on a frictionless surface.)

57. QIC Three objects are connected on a table as shown in Figure P4.57. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block of mass m, and the table is 0.350. The objects have masses of m₁ = 4.00 kg, m₂ = 1.00 kg, and ma = 2.00 kg as shown, and the pulleys are friction- less. (a) Draw a diagram of the forces on each object. (b) Determine the acceleration of each object, includ- ing its direction. (c) Determine the tensions in the two cords. (d) If the tabletop were smooth, would the ten- sions increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain. my mo Figure P4.57 Mg
41. An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P5.41), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 250 N. Nick's true weight is 320 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick's feet are not touch- ing the ground. (a) Draw one pair of diagrams showing the forces for Nick and the chair considered as separate systems and another diagram for Nick and the chair considered as one system. (b) Show that the acceleration of the system is upward and find its magnitude. (c) Find the force Nick exerts on the chair.
If a 3.10 kg body has an acceleration of 7.20 m/s2 directed at 38.0° to the positive x axis. what is the y component of the net force acting on the body?
31. A truck with mass 2000 kg tows a boat and trailer of total mass 500 kg. The frictional coefficient for the truck is 0.080 and for the trailer is 0.050 (this is due to “rolling resistance” of the tires). The force of the truck’s drive wheels pushing backward on the pavement is 3.0 kN. (a) Determine the acceleration rate of the truck and trailer moving forward together. (b) Determine the amount of force the truck’s hitch exerts forward on the trailer.
