Chapter 5: Q 15. (page 128)

Figure shows an object’s acceleration-versus-force graph. What is the object’s mass?

Short Answer

Expert verified

mass of object is 25 kg

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.Given Information

here given the graph of object’s which is acceleration-versus-force graph and then from that find out the object’s mass. for that use the Newton`s second law.

02

Step 2 

Newton second law state that force is directly proportional to acceleration.

F=mam=Fa.....1

03

Step 3 

here use the concept of slop to consider the value of force and acceleration

from slope the force is 50 N and acceleration is 2 m/s2

substitute force and acceleration value in equation (1)

m=Fam=50kgm/s22m/s2m=25kg

Therefor, mass of the object is 25 kg

Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.

You are a rock climber going upward at a steady pace on a

vertical wall.

A rubber ball bounces. We’d like to understand how the ball bounces. a. A rubber ball has been dropped and is bouncing off the floor. Draw a motion diagram of the ball during the brief time interval that it is in contact with the floor. Show 4 or 5 frames as the ball compresses, then another 4 or 5 frames as it expands. What is the direction of a u during each of these parts of the motion? b. Draw a picture of the ball in contact with the floor and identify all forces acting on the ball. c. Draw a free-body diagram of the ball during its contact with the ground. Is there a net force acting on the ball? If so, in which direction? d. Write a paragraph in which you describe what you learned from parts a to c and in which you answer the question: How does a ball bounce?

Problems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:

a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector au and show it as a vector next to your diagram. Or, if appropriate, write a→=0→

b. If possible, identify the direction of the velocity vector v→and show it as a labeled vector.

c. Write a short description of a real object for which this is the

correct free-body diagram. Use Examples 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 as

models of what a description should be like.

Exercises 22 show a free-body diagram. 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.

horizontally. Air resistance is not negligible. Identify the forces on

the arrow.
