Newton's Second Law

Newton’s laws of motion describe the relationship between the motion of an object and forces acting on it. Newton’s law of motion has two types as follows:

Textbook Question

Chapter 7, Problem 3EAP

For Exercises I through 5:

a. Draw an interaction diagram.

b. Identify the "system" on your interaction diagram.

c. Draw a free-body diagram for each object in the system. Use dashed lines to connect members of an action/reaction pair.

1. A soccer ball and a bowling ball have a head-on collision at this instant. Rolling friction is negligible.

2. A weightlifter stands up at constant speed from a squatting position while holding a heavy barbell across his shoulders.

3. A steel cable with mass is lifting a girder. The girder is speeding up.

4. Block A in FIGURE EX7.4 is heavier than block B and is sliding down the incline. All surfaces have friction. The rope is massless, and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you'll have to decide if they're part of the system.

A 25.0 kg girl stands on a large raft that is 5.00 m and free to move across the river. The girls walks to the left side of the raft in 3.00 s. A. Her displacement relative to the water is 3.75 m. What is the mass of the raft? B. Assuming that she started from rest, and accelerates at a constant rate, what is her velocity relative to the water as she jumps from the raft? C. What is the force that she applied to the raft as she moved across the raft?

2. A model rocket has a mass of 300 g and an engine that generates 40 N of thrust. The rocket is launched vertically, so that the trust is directed straight up. It is a windy day, and the wind generates a constant force of 5 N horizontally to the east; you can ignore any other forces from the air such as air drag for this problem. A. Draw a free body for this rocket shortly after launch while the engine is firing. B. What is the net force on the rocket after launch while the engine is firing? Express your answer in component form. C. How much time does it take for the rocket to reach an altitude of 250 m?
