An object of mass m = 5.00 kg, attached to a spring scale, rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P6.14. The spring scale, attached to the front end of a boxcar, reads zero when the car is at rest. (a) Determine the acceleration of the car if the spring scale has a constant reading of 18.0 N when the car is in motion. (b) What constant reading will the spring scale show if the car moves with constant velocity? Describe the forces on the object as observed (c) by someone in the car and (d) by someone at rest outside the car.

- Please Asaparrow_forwardYou have landed on an unknown planet, Newtonia, and want to know what objects weigh there. When you push a certain tool, starting from rest, on a frictionless horizontal surface with a 12.0 N force, the tool moves 16.0 m in the first 2.00 s. You next observe that if you release this tool from rest at 10.0 m above the ground, it takes 2.58 s to reach the ground. What does the tool weigh on Newtonia, and what does it weigh on earth?arrow_forwardYou want to hang an object from the ceiling of an elevator that has a maximum acceleration of 4.0 m/s^2 . If you hang The object with a fishing line that supports 45 N of force, what is the maximum mess the object can have if the line is not to break? Please answer in kgarrow_forward
- A block of mass 1.90 kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a light cord passing over a small pulley as shown in the figure below. The tension T in the cord is maintained at 10.0 N, and the pulley is 0.130 m above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.370. M T (a) Determine the acceleration of the block when x = .400 m. m/s² (b) Describe the general behavior of the acceleration as the block slides from a location where x is large to x = 0. increasing, then decreasing no change O decreasing, then increasing a = (c) Find the maximum value of the acceleration and the position x for which it occurs. X = m m/s² (d) Find the largest value of x for which the acceleration is zero. marrow_forwardA 35.0-kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 2.90 m long.

- A 0.152 kg ball is attached to a string that is 62.2 cm long. The string will break if subjected to a tension force of 4.8 N. If a small child swings the ball in a horizontal circle around her head, at what velocity will the string break?arrow_forwardA 55.0 kg box is initially at rest on the flat floor. The coefficients of friction between the floor and the box are μk = 0.230 and μs = 0.540. You push the box horizontally, as shown in the picture below. (a) Draw a free body diagram of the box. (b) How much force would you have to apply to get the box to start moving? Give your answer in Newtons. (c) If the force of your push is 395 N, what is the resulting acceleration of the box? Give your answer in m/s2.arrow_forwardAn Atwood Machine is set up as shown. Mass m1 = 2.00 kg and m2 = 3.00 kg. Assume the connecting string has 0 mass and that there is no friction.

- A 40 N box is resting on a table when a 10 N force is applied to it horizontally. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.3 and 0.1, respectively. Which of the following best describes the resulting motion of the box? The box accelerates in the direction of the applied force. The box remains at rest. The box moves with a constant velocity in the direction of the applied force. The motion of the box cannot be determined with the given information.arrow_forwardJoe pushes down the length of the handle of a 14.1 kg lawn spreader. The handle makes an angle of 47.1° with the horizontal. Joe wishes to accelerate the spreader from rest to 1.39 m/s in 1.7 s. What force must Joe apply to the handle? Answer in units of N.arrow_forwardA little toy car is powered by a CO2 cartridge that produces a thrust force according to the following function: Fthrust(t) = 6.0N e-0.2t. The car also has a friction coefficient of 0.05 due to the wheels and bearings. If the car's mass is 1.2kg, and the car travels in the +x direction, what will it's acceleration function look like as a function of time? If it starts from rest, what will vx(t) be? How fast will the car be going after 3.0s? What maximum speed will be reached by the car?arrow_forward
