a. The given FIGUREP7.52describes a roller is sliding over the block moving in forward force F.

b. The unknown force in the sliding block and sliding roller is about6.86N

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

The given FIGUREP7.52follows and describes a roller is sliding over the block moving in forward force F.

02

Explanation (Part b)

Now we are ready to write the newton's second law for roller

i(Fonroller)i,x=-F-2.94N=mrari(Fonroller)i,y=9.8N-9.8N=0

For the block

i(Fonblock)i,x=F-9.8N=mbabi(Fonblock)i,y=19.6N-19.6N=0

Therefore, the unknown force acting on the block when roller sliding down on the block, braking is F=9.8N-2.94N=6.86N,

03

Explanation (part a)

Consistent with the diagrams shown here, the following explanations are given.

The roller is interacting twice with the block—a friction force parallel to the surface of the block and a normal force perpendicular to this surface. The block interacts similarly with the level surface, but notice that the roller does not interact with the ground; there’s no contact between them.

The two interactions within the system are each an action/reaction pair, so this is a total of four forces. You can also see four external forces crossing the system boundary, so the free-body diagrams should show a total of eight forces.

Bob, who has a mass of, can throw a rock with a speed of 30m/s. The distance through which his hand moves as he accelerates the rock from rest until he releases it is 1.0m.

a. What constant force must Bob exert on the rock to throw it with this speed?

b. If Bob is standing on frictionless ice, what is his recoil speed after releasing the rock?

A Federation starship 2.0×106kguses its tractor beam to pull a shuttlecraft 2.0×104kgaboard from a distance of 10km away. The tractor beam exerts a constant force of 4.0×104N on the shuttlecraft. Both spacecraft are initially at rest. How far does the starship move as it pulls the shuttlecraft aboard?

FIGURE P7.26shows two strong magnets on opposite sides of a small table. The long-range attractive force between the magnets keeps the lower magnet in place.

a. Draw an interaction diagram and draw free-body diagrams for both magnets and the table. Use dashed lines to connect the members of an action/reaction pair.

b. The lower magnet is being pulled upward against the bottom of the table. Suppose that each magnet’s weight is 2.0Nand that the magnetic force of the lower magnet on the upper magnet is 6.0N. How hard does the lower magnet push against the table?

The 1.0kgphysics book in FIGURE P7.41is connected by a string to a 500gcoffee cup. The book is given a push up the slope and released with a speed of 3.0m/s. The coefficients of friction are μs=0.50and μk=0.20

a. How far does the book slide?

b. At the highest point, does the book stick to the slope, or does it slide back down?
