Michelangelo's assistant has been assigned the task of moving a block of marble using a sled. He says to his boss "when i exert a forward force on the sled, the sled exerts an equal but opposite force backward. So how can i ever start it moving? No matter how hard i pull, the backward reaction force always equals my forward force, so the net force must be zero. Is this correct?

The forces are exerted on different objects. The forward action force is exerted by the assistant on the sled, whereas the backward reaction force is exerted by the sled on the assistant. The sled accelerates forward when the force on it exerted by the assistant is greater than the frictional force exerted backward on it by the ground.

The air pressure inside the straw a the top to be less than the atmospheric pressure outside the straw.

If the velocity of an object is zero, does it mean that the acceleration is zero? If the acceleration is zero, does it mean that the velocity is zero?

A zero velocity does not mean necessarily that the acceleration is zero, nor does zero acceleration mean that the velocity is zero: a car with initial velocity of zero accelerates, which means that the acceleration is not zero since the velocity of the car changes. Or, as you cruise a long a straight highway at a constant velocity of 100 km/h you acceleration is zero.

A rocket is shot into the air. At the moment the rocket reaches its highest point, a horizontal distance d from its starting point, a prearranged explosion separates it into two parts of equal mass. Part I is stopped in midair by the explosion, and it falls vertically to Earth. Where does part II land?

After the rocket is fired, the path of the CM of the system continues to follow the parabolic trajectory of a projectile acted on by a constant g. The CM will thus land at a point 2d from the starting point. Since the masses of I and II are equal, the CM must be midway between them at any time. Therefore, part II lands at a distance 3d from the starting point.

The solid dot shown in the figure below is a pivot point. The board can rotate about the pivot.

Torque is the product of the lever arm and the component of the force perpendicular to the arm.

The 800 N force is parallel to the lever arm and also exerts no torque. Of the three 500 N forces, (c) is both perpendicular to the lever arm and farthest from the pivot.

continues at the velocity that it had before the second force was applied

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed of the boat

decreases: if mass goes up, velocity will go down if momentum is conserved.

A baseball player hits a ball that soars high into the air. After the ball has left the bat, and while it is traveling upward, what is the direction of acceleration? Ignore air resistance...

downward direction

A rowboat floats in a swimming pool, and the level of the water at the edge of the pool is marked. The boat is removed from the water. The level of the water will

fall

you push a heavy crate down a ramp at a constant velocity. only four forces act on the crate. which force does the greatest magnitude of work on the crate?

force of friction

Accuracy represents

how close a measurement is to its true value

Which is not true about an order-of-magnitude estimation?

it will always be accurate to at least two significant figures

A car travels 10 m/s east. Another car travels 10 m/s north. The relative speed of the first car with respect to the second is...

less than 20 m/s

The magnitude of a component of a vector must be

less than or equal to the magnitude of the vector

A railroad tank car contains milk and rolls at a constant speed along a level track. The milk begins to leak out the bottom. The car then The car then slows down. speeds up. maintains a constant speed. Need more information about the rate of the leak.

maintains a constant speed

To convert from ft^2 to yd^2 you should

multiply by 1/9

You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

only if it starts moving.

A student's weight displayed on a digital scale is 117.2 lb. This would suggest that her wight is:

somewhere between 117.0 and 117.4

Beaker A is filled to the brim with water. Beaker B is the same size and contains a small block of wood which floats when the beaker is filled with water to the brim. Which beaker weighs more?

the same for both

A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?

v=0, a= 9.8 m/s² down

A car speedometer that is supposed to read the linear speed of the car uses a device that actually measures the angular speed of the tires. If larger-diameter tires are mounted on the car instead, how will that affect the speedometer reading?

will read low. if r increased then v will increase, but angular velocity will stay constant
