Get started for freeBased on the information in Table 5.1, estimate
a. The weight of a laptop computer.
b. The propulsion force of a bicycle.
The leaf hopper, champion jumper of the insect world, can
jump straight up at 4 m/s2. The jump itself lasts a mere 1 ms before the insect is clear of the ground.
a. Draw a free-body diagram of this mighty leaper while the
jump is taking place.
b. While the jump is taking place, is the force of the ground on
the leaf hopper greater than, less than, or equal to the force of
gravity on the leaf hopper? Explain.
the potential energy of two electric charges is inversely proportional to the distance between them. Two charges 30 nm apart have 1.0 J of potential energy. What is their potential energy if they are 20 nm apart?
Problems 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.
Two rubber bands pulling on an object cause it to accelerate at
1.2 m/s2.
a. What will be the object’s acceleration if it is pulled by four
rubber bands?
b. What will be the acceleration of two of these objects glued
together if they are pulled by two rubber bands?
