- You can play catch with a softball in a bus moving with constant speed on a straight road, just as though the bus were at rest. Is this still possible when the bus is making a turn at constant speed on a level road? Why or why not?arrow_forwardSpherical proteins of an unknown radius have a density of 6.60 x 103 kg /m3 and are suspended in blood which has a viscosity 3.5 times that of water. The mixture is placed in a centrifuge of radius 10.8 cm which spins at 9000 rpm. If the proteins have a terminal velocity of 2.10 x 10-6 m/s, what is their radius?

When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible?

- A book sitting on a table, a puck sliding across frictionless ice, a child sitting on a merry-go-round turning at constant speed, a man leaning against a wall, a rock falling at constant terminal velocity, a car driving around a curve at a constant speed of 40 mph, a man pushing a box across a frictionless surface, a soccer ball placed on the grass, and air inside and outside of an inflated balloon. For all classify a) the netforce (0 or nonzero) and b) which newtons law it best demonstrates (1st, 2nd, 3rd). For the balloon example if you could give an explanation for the netforce that would be great.
