Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
A spring-loaded gun shoots a plastic ball. The trigger has just
been pulled and the ball is starting to move down the barrel. The
barrel is horizontal.
An object experiencing a constant force accelerates at . What will the acceleration of this object be if
a. The force is doubled? Explain.
b. The mass is doubled?
c. The force is doubled and the mass is doubled?
FIGURE shows an acceleration-versus-force graph for a 200 g object. What force values go in the blanks on the horizontal scale?
A heavy box is in the back of a truck. The truck is accelerating to the right. Draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram for the box .
Exercises 20 show a free-body diagram. For each, write a short description of a real object for which this would be the correct free-body diagram. Use Examples 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 as examples of what a description should be like.
