Chapter 4.2, Problem 1bT

Draw a free-body diagram for the ruler (after it is released from rest). Draw your vectors on the diagram at right. Draw each force at the point at which it is exerted.

Label each force by identifying:

  • the type of force.
  • the object on which the force is exerted, and
  • the object exerting the force.

The diagram you have drawn is called an external free-body diagram.

Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175.  Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut.  Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c.  Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes.  How old is Rick when his brother dies?
