A box rests on the (frictionless) bed of a truck. The truck driver starts the truck and accelerates forward. The box immediately starts to slide toward the rear of the truck bed. Discuss the motion of the box, in terms of Newton’s laws, as seen (a) by Mary standing on the ground beside the truck, and (b) by Chris who is riding on the truck (Fig.4-35).
a)Motion of the box, in terms of Newton’s laws as observed by Mary standing on the ground beside the truck
b)Chris who is riding the truck.
Answer to Problem 2Q
Solution:
a)According to Newton’s first law,an unbalanced external force is needed to change the state of motion of a body. In this given problem, there is no force acting on the box. Thus, the box should remain in its place.
b)According to Newton’s second law, when a force acts on the mass an acceleration is produced. Chris observes that the box is accelerating backward towards the rear of the truck.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A box rests on the (frictionless)bed of a truck. the truck driver starts the truck and accelerates forward. The box immediately starts to slide toward the rear of the truck bed.
Applying Newton’s laws of motion here:
Newton’s 1st Law: Everybody continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless it is compelled by an unbalanced external force
Newton’s 2nd Law: The force acting on the mass accelerates the object.
a)In this given problem, there is no force is acting on the box. Thus the box should remain in its place. Mary observes that box stay stationary with respect to the ground. There is no force acting on the box since the truck bed is smooth, and so the box can’t move. Therefore Mary will see from the ground that box will remain stationary and only truck accelerating and moves forward.
(b)According to Chris sitting in the truck, he will observe that the box is accelerating backward towards the rear of the truck. Chris, from his non-inertial reference frame, would see the box being “thrown” backward in the truck. Using Newton’s 2nd law to describe the effects of that force.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
