Carol wants to move her 32 kg sofa to a different room in the house. She places “sofa sliders,” slippery disks with μk = 0.080, under the feet of the sofa. She then pushes the sofa at a steady 0.40 m/s across the floor. How much force does she apply to the sofa?
Your car just ran out of gas and you are stuck in the middle of the road holding up traffic. Luckily, your friend Reuben is in the car with you so you decide to ask for his help in pushing the car to the side of the road. Reuben, being very lazy and having just taken PHYS 151, explains to you that it’s useless to try pushing the car to get it moved to the side of the road. His reasoning is that when you exert a force on the car, the car will exert an equal and opposite force in return according to Newton’s third law of motion. These two opposing forces would cancel each other resulting in a net force of zero and no possible acceleration – therefore, it’s better to just sit back, relax, and wait for AAA. Do you agree with his assessment? Why or why not? If you don’t agree with him, how would you convince him otherwise to help you?

- Mary applies a force of 71 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.45 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 79 N, the box's acceleration changes to 0.63 m/s2. There is a constant friction force present between the floor and the box. (a)What is the mass of the box in kilograms? ?kg (b)What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the box?arrow_forwardA block is on a frictionless table, on earth. The block accelerates at 2.6 m/s 2 when a 70 N horizontal force is applied to it. The block and table are set up on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s 2. The weight of the block on the moon is closest to: O 38 N O 33 N O 27 N O 22 N O 44 Narrow_forwardA car is moving along a frictionless surface with a speed of 2 m/s to the left. You and your friend each come over and push the car at the same time. You exert a force of 6 N to the left, while your friend exerts a force of 6 N to the right. According to Newton’s first law, how will this action affect the car’s motion? The car will speed up because your force is in the same direction of the car’s motion, making it speed up. The car will stop immediately because two balanced forces will cause an object to stop moving. The car will continue to move 2 m/s to the left because there are balanced forces acting on it. The car will continue moving to the left but at a slower speed because your friend’s force is going to make the car slow down.arrow_forward

The rocket engine is upgraded so that it now provides a forward force of 90,000 N. What is the new constant velocity of the plane? You cannot neglect air resistance in this question. 200 m/s 300 m/s 400 m/s 600 m/s 900 m/sarrow_forwardSuppose you are at a bowling alley, where a machine uses a constant force and pushes balls up a ramp one meter in length.
