KINEMATICS PROBLEMS #2 1. YOUR NAME: Can an object move if there is no net force on it? Explain. 2. Suppose you apply a force of 1 N to block A and a force of 2 N to block B. Does it follow that block B has twice the acceleration of block A? Justify your answer using Newton's second law. 3. When a brick rests on a flat, stationary, horizontal table, there is an upward normal force on it from the table. Explain why the brick does not accelerate upward in response to this force. 4. A rocket in space can change course with its engines. Since in empty space there is nothing for the exhaust gases to push on, how can it accelerate? 5. An airplane of mass 2867 kg flies at a constant horizontal velocity. The force of air resistance on it is 2225 N. What is the net force on the plane (magnitude and direction)? 6. Three children are pulling on a toy that has a mass of 1.25 kg. Child A pulls with force (5.00, 6.00, 2.50) N. Child B pulls with force (0.00, 9.20, 2.40) N. With what force must Child C pull for the toy to remain stationary? 7. (a) How much does a 70.0 kg person weigh on the Earth? (b) How much would she weigh on the Moon (gmoon = 0.166g)? (c) How much would she weigh on a neutron star where gstar = 1.43×1011g? 8. A dog on Earth weighs 136 N. The same dog weighs 154 N on Neptune. What is the acceleration due to gravity on Neptune? 9. When empty, a particular helicopter of mass 3770 kg can accelerate straight upward at a maximum acceleration of 1.34 m/s2. A careless crewman overloads the helicopter so that it is just unable to lift off. What is the mass of the cargo? 10. A 0.125 kg frozen hamburger patty has two forces acting on it that determine its horizontal motion. A 2.30 N force pushes it to the left, and a 0.800 N force pushes it to the right. (a) Taking right to be positive, what is the net force acting on it? (b) What is its acceleration? 11. A flea has a mass of 4.9×10−7 kg. When a flea jumps, its rear legs act like catapults, accelerating it at 2400 m/s2. What force do the flea's legs have to exert on the ground for a flea to accelerate at this rate? 12. An extreme amusement park ride accelerates its riders upward from rest to 50.0 m/s in 7.00 seconds. Ignoring air resistance, what average upward force does the seat exert on a rider who weighs 1120 N? 13. A giant excavator (used in road construction) can apply a maximum vertical force of 2.25×105 N. If it can vertically accelerate a load of dirt at 0.200 m/s2, what is the mass of that load? Ignore the mass of the excavator itself. 14. A tennis player strikes a tennis ball of mass 56.7 g when it is at the top of the toss, accelerating it to 68.0 m/s in a distance of 0.0250 m. What is the average force the player exerts on the ball? Ignore any other forces acting on the ball.
