Get started for freeProblems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:
a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector and show it as a vector next to your diagram. Or, if appropriate, write
b. If possible, identify the direction of the velocity vector 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.
If an object is at rest, can you conclude that there are no forces acting on it? Explain.
If a force is exerted on an object, is it possible for that object to be moving with constant velocity? Explain.
Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.
A person on a bridge throws a rock straight down toward the
water. The rock has just been released.
A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 8.0 m/s2. What will the acceleration be if
a. The force is doubled?
b. The object’s mass is doubled?
c. The force and the object’s mass are both doubled?
d. The force is doubled and the object’s mass is halved?
