Two people play tug of war. The 100-kg person on the left pulls with 1100 N, and the 75-kg person on the right pulls with 870 N.
Assume that neither person releases their grip on the rope with either hand at any time, assume that the rope is always taut, and
assume that the rope does not stretch. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope in Newtons?
Add your answer
The normal force measured by a scale is
the mass of a person
the magnitude of a person's true weight
the magnitude of a person's apparent weight
the magnitude of the net force on a person
A book resting on a table does not move. According to Newton's First Law, the net force on the book
must be zero since the book is not moving. The force that explains why books do not fall through tables
is called the normal force FN. It is a perpendicular contact force exerted by a surface.
In the drawing at the right, a
book is sitting on the table. The
book is not moving, so the net
force on it must be zero.
FN
Fg
Q11 How does the table "know" how much normal force to exert as the weight of the object placed on
top of it changes?
Q12 If we had a very powerful microscope, what would we expect to see happening at the surface of
the table, underneath the ball?

- A 50.0 kg girl and a 100 kg boy, stand on a frictionless frozen lake at a distance 6.0 m apart. They each hold the end of a massless rope. The boy pulls on the rope with a force of 120 N and continues to exert this force until the two meet. The girl holds onto her end of the rope at all times. With what force does the girl pull on the boy? The acceleration of the boy is How far will the girl have traveled when they meet?arrow_forwardOn her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25° with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 13.5 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical? I was given the WRONG answer this morning! The force that Red applied was 13.5N NOT 12.2 N! Use 13.5 N! I use this service primarily to check my work.

( The simulation shows the classic physics situation of a monkey and hunter. In this case, the hunter is trying to tranquilize the monkey, so the monkey can be relocated to a better habitat. The monkey is clever—when the tranquilizer dart (in blue) leaves the gun, the monkey (in purple) lets go of the tree branch, and starts to fall straight down. Note that there is a net (not shown) at the bottom to catch the monkey, so the monkey won't get hurt.)arrow_forwardA car of mass 800 kg as shown in the figure is subject to three forces F1, F2, and F3.

Ignore the effect of frictional force exerted by the tires on the road. a) Suppose the car is stationary, then what is the direction and magnitude of the force F3? b) The car started moving and attained a velocity of +500 m/s in 10 second due a change in F3.
