two dogs are tugging on a toy. One dog pull with a horizontal force of 15 N due North. The other is pulling due east with a horizontal force of 14 N. What is the direction of the net external horizontal force on the toy?
Northeast
Two books are lying next to each other on a library table. The force due to gravity on the first book is 9 N and on the second is 13 N. The gravitational force on the table itself is 125 N. The floor supports the table with an upward force of 147 N. In a free-body diagram of the table, how many contact forces and how many field forces should be represented?
ONE contact force, THREE FIELD FORCES (3, 1)
Only under what conditions is static friction greater than kinetic friction?
Only at the limit of the motion which is the very instant when the object starts moving. NOT MOVING = STATIC FRICTION MOVING = KINETIC FRICTION
A batter strikes a baseball with a bat. Identify an action reaction pair and describe the force is exerted by each
The batter exerts a force on the bat; the bat exerts a force on the batter
In which situation is the net force acting on a car zero?
The car maintains both its speed and direction.
A truck and a car uniformly accelerate from rest to a velocity of 3.0 m/s in equal time intervals. The truck is ten times as massive as the car. Which of the following statements is correct?
The force on the truck is 10 times the force on the car.
While sitting in a lounge chair with the back inclined at an angle of 10° from the vertical, you tuck a pillow between your head and the chair then you lower the chair back to 40° and doze with the pillow in place. How is the net force on the pillow changed?
The net force is 0/does not change because the pillow stays in place (at rest)
Explain how action reaction pairs keep a book sitting on a table in equilibrium.
When a book is placed on a table, it exerts force downwards on the table. The table then exerts an opposite force on the book, keeping it in equilibrium. All arrows would be the same distance because it has equal forces acting on all sides.
