Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1FC
To determine
The correct option.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1FC
The correct option is, “(b) A single force acts on the object”.
Explanation of Solution
Description:
Newton’s first law (law of inertia):
If an object is at rest, it will be at rest unless any external forces act on it.
Similarly if an object is in motion, it will be in motion with the same velocity or speed in the same direction unless any external forces act on it.
From this statement it concludes that if an object moving at constant velocity, single force cannot act on it.
Therefore, the option (b) is correct and remaining options are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is, “(b) A single force acts on the object”.

Some 1800 years ago Roman soldiers effectively used slings as deadly weapons. The length of these slings averaged about 81 cm and the lead shot that they used weighed about 30 grams. If in the wind up to a release, the shot rotated around the Roman slinger with a period of .15 seconds.
Find the maximum acceleration of the shot before being released in m/s^2 and report it to two significant figures.
