A large box containing your new computer sits on the bed of your pickup truck. You are stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, you stomp on the gas and the truck accelerates. To your horror, the box starts to slide toward the back of the truck. Draw clearly labeled free-body diagrams for the truck and for the box. Indicate pairs of forces, if any, that are third-law action reaction pairs. (The horizontal truck bed is not frictionless.)

The ramp hasfriction, with coefficient of kinetic friction μk and static friction μs.This experiment takes place on earth.The block has an initial speed of v up the ramp. It travels adistance d along the ramp before it stops.Answer using variables, please.a) Draw a free body diagram clearly showing all the forces acting on the block while it is movingup the ramp.b) Calculate the work done by the Normal force as the block travels the distance d.Is it positive, negative, or zero?c) Calculate the work done by the Weight force as the block travels the distance d.Is it positive, negative, or zero?d) Calculate the work done by the Friction force as the block travels the distance d.Is it positive, negative, or zero?e) If the block comes to rest, how far has it travelled?Use the work-energy principle and your results of parts b), c), and d).f) Briefly (one sentence) explain why this…arrow_forwardA box of mass 74.5 kg that is initially at rest is pulled by a rope at an angle of 30.0⁰ from the horizontal along a floor with a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.717. A force of 769 N acts on the rope. Draw a free-body diagram of the situation. In your free-body diagram, include all of the involved forces resolved into the horizontal and vertical directions. Use your free-body diagram to determine how long it will take for the box to be moved 21.5 m horizontally. Your Answer: units Answerarrow_forwardMr. Camilleri pushes a block of mass 150 kg across a rough surface (coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.41) for a distance of 17 m with a constant applied force of 791 N [Right]. At the same time, the very mean Ms. Koprianuk decides to push down on the block with another applied force of 53 N [Down]. Draw a complete free body diagram of the block then write down the ‘Given’ for this question.arrow_forward
- An astronaut named Johnny is driving to their rocket when they suddenly need to break. The car weighs 1900 lbs and is moving at 35 mi/hr when the astronaut slams on the breaks on dry road. Find the amount of time needed for the car to stop. Use 4k = 0.7. How many forces are present in the - direction? It'll take the car seconds to stop.arrow_forward2 tubs are connected by a string that passes over a frictionless pulley. One tub is on a frictionless ramp that rises at 30.0° above the horizontal, which is released from rest. (a) Make free-body diagrams of each box. (b) Which way will the 50.0 kg box move, up the plane or down the plane? Or will it even move at all? Show why or why not. (c) Find the acceleration of each box.arrow_forwardSally is the salamander, mr. Gonzalez is holding the leash.arrow_forward
- The wheels of a midsize car exert a force of 2100 N backward on the road to accelerate the car in the forward direction. If the force of friction including air resistance is 250 N and the acceleration of the car is 1.80 m/s, what is the mass of the car plus its occupants? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton’s laws of motion. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.arrow_forwardA force of 600 N is applied on a block of mass M to pull it at a constant velocity up the incline at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface of the incline and the block is given as uk(mu_k) = 0.5. Draw the complete labelled free body diagram of all the forces acting on the block. Calculate the mass of the block.arrow_forwardAn object of mass m is subject to a drag force with magnitude |D| = kv", where k is a positive constant, v is the velocity, and n is a constant integer. The object starts at the origin with initial velocity vo in the positive x-direction. There are no other forces acting on the object. a) What is the equation of motion for this system?. b) What is the velocity of the object as a function of time? c) What is the maximum distance the particle will travel before stopping? (Hint: find the velocity as a function of position).arrow_forward
- Construct Your Own Problem Consider two people pushing a toboggan with four children on it up a snowcovered slope. Construct a problem in which you calculate the acceleration of the toboggan and its load. Include a free-body diagram of the appropriate system of interest as the basis for your analysis. Show vector forces and their components and explain the choice of coordinates. Among the things to be considered are the forces exerted by those pushing, the angle of the slope, and the masses of the toboggan and children.arrow_forwardThree blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F with magnitude 137.1 N is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the right. Let's assume there is no friction between the blocks and the ground. The mass of A, B, and C are 9.1, 46.6, and 84.3 kg, respectively. What is the force applied on block B by block A (in unit of N)?arrow_forwardDuring a time interval of one second, a ball moves in the +x or -x direction (that is, to the right or the left), and a net force acts on the ball in the +x or -x direction. For each motion listed below, check all the descriptions of net force that could produce that behavior. More than one description may be valid for a particular motion.arrow_forward
