Question

Complete the table below by (1) identifying the forces present, (2)
draw the FBD, (3) show the equation of its net force, and (4) determine whether it’s accelerating or in equilibrium (specify what type of equilibrium). 

 

 

I it
accelerating?
Is it in
equilibrium?
Situation
Forces Present
FBD
Free-falling object
Falling object at
terminal velocity
(terminal velocity
occurs when air
resistance balances
the gravitational force
of an object)
Falling object but
terminal velocity is
not yet reached
A rightward force is
applied to a book in
order to move it
across the table at
constant velocity.
Neglect air
resistance.
A rightward force is
applied to a book in
order to move it
across the table with
a rightward
acceleration.
