Chapter 2: Q2 (page 81)

An object is moving in the + ydirection. Which. If any, of the following statements might be true? Check all that apply. a) the net force on the object is zero. b) The net force on the object is in the - ydirection. c) the net force on the object is in the + ydirection.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

  • the net force on the object is zero
  • the net force on the object cannot work in the - y direction
  • the net force on the object cannot work in the + y direction

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Identification of the given data 

The given data can be listed below as:

  1. The object is moving in the + y direction.
02

 Step 2: Significance of Newton’s second law for the object 

This law states that the rate of the change of the momentum of a body is mainly equal to the magnitude and direction of the imposed force.

The change of force of the body gives the net change in momentum of a body.

03

 Step 3: Determination of the net force on the object

  • According to Newton’s first law, the net force is zero only when the object is at rest or moving with constant velocity. Hence, according to the question, there is no mention of the velocity of the object.

Thus, the net force on the object is zero.

  • From Newton’s second law, the net force goes in the direction in which the object moves.

Thus, the net force on the object cannot work in the -y direction.

  • From Newton’s first law, the net force goes in the direction in which the object moves.

Thus, the net force on the object cannot work in the + y direction.

Consider the three experiments described in Problem 30. Figure 2.58 displays four graphs of Fnet, x, the x component of the net force acting on the cart, vs. time. The graphs start when the cart is at rest, and end when the cart is again at rest. Match the experiment with the graph

Question: The following questions refer to the circuit shown in Figure 18.114, consisting of two flashlight batteries and two Nichrome wires of different lengths and different thicknesses as shown (corresponding roughly to your own thick and thin Nichrome wires).



The thin wire is 50 cm long, and its diameter is 0.25 mm. The thick wire is 15 cm long, and its diameter is 0.35 mm. (a) The emf of each flashlight battery is 1.5 V. Determine the steady-state electric field inside each Nichrome wire. Remember that in the steady state you must satisfy both the current node rule and energy conservation. These two principles give you two equations for the two unknown fields. (b) The electron mobility

in room-temperature Nichrome is about 7×10-5(ms)(Ns). Show that it takes an electron 36 min to drift through the two Nichrome wires from location B to location A. (c) On the other hand, about how long did it take to establish the steady state when the circuit was first assembled? Give a very approximate numerical answer, not a precise one. (d) There are about 9×1028mobile electrons per cubic meter in Nichrome. How many electrons cross the junction between the two wires every second?

A bar magnet whose magnetic dipole moment is<4,0,1.5>A.m2is suspended from a thread in a region where external coils apply a magnetic field of<0.8,0,0>T. What is the vector torque that acts on the bar magnet?

You drop a piece of paper, and observe that it eventually falls at a constant speed. Which of the following statements about this situation is based on a fundamental physics principle? (a) Because the paper is moving downward, we know that it experiences a nonzero net downward force. (b) Since the momentum of the paper does not change from one instant to the next, P→future=P→now, and therefore the net force on the paper must be zero. (2) You give a push to a toy car, which rolls away smoothly on a wooden floor. Why does the car keep moving after your hand is no longer touching it? (a) The momentum of the car just after it leaves your hand reflects the total impulse given to the car by your hand. (b) Your hand continues to exert a force on the car even after the car and hand no longer touch.

The driver of a car traveling at a speed of 18 m/s slams on the brakes and comes to a stop in 4s . If we assume that the car's speed changed at a constant rate (constant net force): (a) what was the car's average speed during this 4 s interval? (b) How far did the car go in this 4 s interval?
