Newton's First Law of Motion

If a very smooth ball is rolled down an inclined surface with zero friction, the ball will continue to roll indefinitely for an infinite time, in an attempt to reach to the same height on the opposite hill!

Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 46EAP

Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.

42. An elevator, suspended by a single cable, has just left the tenth floor and is speeding up as it descends towards the ground floor.

43. A rocket is being launched straight up. Air resistance is not negligible.

44. A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible.

45. You are a rock climber going upward at a steady pace on a vertical wall.

46. You’ve slammed on the brakes an your car is skidding to a stop while going down a 20° hill.

47. You’ve just kicked a rock on the sidewalk and it is now sliding along the concrete.

48. You’ve jumped down from a platform. Your feet are touching the ground and your kees are flexing as you stop.

49. You are bungee jumping from a high bridge. You are moving downward while the bungee cord is stretching.

50. Your friend went for a loop-the-loop ride at the amusement park. Her car is upside down at the top of the loop.

51. A spring-loaded gun shoots a plastic ball. The trigger has just been pulled and the bull is starting to move down the barrel. The barrel is horizontal.

52. A person on a bridge throws a rock straight down toward the water. The rock has just been released.

A cab driver heads south with a steady speed of v₁ = 20.0 m/s for t₁ = 3.00 min, then makes a right turn and travels at v₂ = 25.0 m/s for t₂ = 2.80 min, and then drives northwest at v3 = 30.0 m/s for t3 = 1.00 min. For this 6.80-min trip, calculate the following. Assume +x is in the eastward direction. (a) total vector displacement (Enter the magnitude in m and the direction in degrees south of west.) magnitude direction For each straight-line movement, model the car as a particle under constant velocity, and draw a diagram of the displacements, labeling the distances and angles. Let the starting point be the origin of your coordinate system. Use the relationship speed = distance/time to find the distances traveled during each segment. Write the displacement vector, and calculate its magnitude and direction. Don't forget to convert min to s! m Model the car as a particle under constant velocity, and draw a diagram of the displacements, labeling the distances and angles. Let the…

î A proton is projected in the positive x direction into a region of uniform electric field E = (-5.50 x 105) i N/C at t = 0. The proton travels 7.20 cm as it comes to rest. (a) Determine the acceleration of the proton. magnitude 5.27e13 direction -X m/s² (b) Determine the initial speed of the proton. 8.71e-6 magnitude The electric field is constant, so the force is constant, which means the acceleration will be constant. m/s direction +X (c) Determine the time interval over which the proton comes to rest. 1.65e-7 Review you equations for constant accelerated motion. s
