A student jumped on a trampoline. In the picture above, she has stretched the trampoline as much as it will stretch on this jump. Her body (her center of mass) has moved as low as it will go. A graph of the height of her body as a function of time would show only curved lines (no sharp corners and no straight line segments). Which of the following correctly describes the acceleration of the student when the center of mass of the student is at its lowest point (at the instant shown in the picture above)? Her acceleration points up. O Her acceleration is between zero and 9.8 meters per second squared, pointing down. Her acceleration is zero. O Her acceleration is greater than 9.8 meters per second squared, pointing down. O Her acceleration is 9.8 meters per second squared, pointing down.

A rocket is fired vertically upward from the ground. The distance s in feet that the rocket travels from the ground after t seconds is given by s(t) = -16 t2 + 560 t. Apply calculus to find the velocity of the rocket 3 seconds after being fired. Two objects move on a horizontal frictionless surface along the same line in the same direction which we shall refer to as the forward direction. The trailing object of mass has a velocity of forward. The leading object of mass has a velocity of forward. The trailing object catches up with the leading object and the two objects experience a completely inelastic collision. By using the rule of conservation of Momentum, calculate is the final velocity of each of the two objects?

In this problem, we will consider the following situation as depicted in the diagram: A block of mass m slides at a speed v along a horizontal smooth table. It next slides down a smooth ramp, descending a height h, and then slides along a horizontal rough floor, stopping eventually. Assume that the block slides slowly enough so that it does not lose contact with the supporting surfaces (table, ramp, or floor). You will analyze the motion of the block at different moments using the law of conservation of energy. A B y=0 C a. Which word in the statement of this problem allows you to assume that the table is frictionless? b. Where (letter) would the block have the greatest gravitational potential energy? c.

Mariana and Jun are both pushing on a box. Mariana pushes the box to the right and Jun pushes to the left. The box is on rollers and so is essentially frictionless with the floor, but Mariana and Jun do have friction with the floor. Jun is "winning" the pushing match and all three objects, Jun, the box, and Mariana are accelerating to the left. Consider the following forces: fm: the force of friction on Mariana f;: the force of friction on Jun FMB: the force of Mariana on the box FJB: the force of Jun on the box Which of the listed forces must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction? Of; and FMB Mariana box Jun fm and FMB fm and fj no two of the four listed forces must be equal and opposite. FMB and FJB
It may appear at first glance that Newton's 2nd and 3rd laws are independent claims. This, however, is not true - Newton's 3rd law is simply a consequence of Newton's 2nd law. In this problem, you will prove Newton's 3rd law for the normal contact force between two objects, using only Newton's 2nd law. Consider two blocks with masses m₁ and m₂ in contact, with external forces F₁ and F2 applied, as shown in the figure. The free body diagram for each block is also given, with internal forces fa and f, as shown. F₁ F₁ fa fb ΣF = ΣF = m₁ m2 Submit F₂ Complete the equations of motion for the entire system, as well as blocks 1 and 2 individually. Note, the forces have a signed magnitude, where positive values correspond to the positive x-direction ΣF= = (m₁ + m₂) a = m₁ a = m₂ a Use the above equations to write fa in terms of only fr: fa = m₁ You have used 0 of 4 attempts m₂ F₂ Save Calculator
