Answer the following:

1. What properties do forces have that allow us to classify them as vectors?

The magnitude and direction of forces are the characteristics that
distinguish vectors from other types of forces. Magnitude and direction
make up vectors. The magnitude is the unit of measurement, whereas the
direction of the magnitude is shown by vectors. A push or a pull might be
referred to as "force." The amount and direction of the force are provided
when an object is dragged or pushed.

2. A woman was transporting an open box of cupcakes to a school party. The car in
front of her stopped suddenly; she applied her brakes immediately. She was
wearing her seat belt and suffered no physical harm (just a great deal of
embarrassment), but the cupcakes flew into the dashboard and became
“smushcakes.” Explain what happened.
The speed of the cupcake prior to the reduced action is as old as the
vehicle. Cupcakes are endless moving bodies in these lines, and when the
vehicle comes to a halt, the cupcakes continue to move according to
Newton's first law.

3. A rock is thrown straight up. At the top of the trajectory, the velocity is
momentarily zero. Does this imply that the force acting on the object is zero?
Explain your answer.
According to Newton's first law, when an item's net power follow up is
zero, its speed remains constant. The speed of the stone must obviously
fluctuate in order for it to be zero from its underlying value. As a result, the
net power required to follow it is very definitely not zero. No, the speed
cannot be zero right immediately since it must be constantly changing,
which implies that the power that follows up on the item cannot be 0.

4. What is the relationship between weight and mass? Which is an intrinsic,

unchanging property of a body?
The acceleration of one mass by another mass, such as a power, is referred
to as weight. Under non-relativistic situations, mass is defined as the
object's inherent inactivity. Mass increases at relativistic speeds, and near-
c methods provide an infinite mass.

5. Suppose that you are holding a cup of coffee in your hand. Identify all forces on
the cup and the reaction to each force.
Functional force Gravitational force
6. A table is placed on a rug. Then a book is placed on the table. What does the floor
exert a normal force on?
The Rug only.

7. If a book is located on a table, how many forces should be shown in a free-body

diagram of the book? Describe them.
Weight acting downwards and normal force acting upwards are two types
of forces.

8. When a body is in equilibrium, which of the following must be true ?

a. There is no force acting on it.
b. The sum of all the forces acting o it must be zero
c. The sum of all the forces acting on it must be zero
d. There are exactly two forces acting on the body.
C.

9. Two ropes are attached to a tree, and forces of ⃗ ^ 4.0 ^j N and ⃗

F 1=2.0 i+ ^
F 2=3.0 i+6.0 ^j
are applied. The forces are coplanar (in the same plane). (a) What is the resultant
(net force) of these two force vectors? (b) Find the magnitude and direction of
this net force.

. What is the net force on the body if there are no other external
g=9.80 m/s 2
forces acting on the object?
F = ma
F = (10kg) (9.80m/s2)
F = 98 N

12. Block B in Fig. below weighs 711 N. The coefficient of static friction between the
block and the table is 0.25; angle θ is 30 degrees ; assume that the cord between B
 and The knot is horizontal. Find the maximum weight of block A for which the
system will be stationary.

Ftx = PF

Ftx = 177.75N

Ftx = FWA
tanθ = Fy/Fx

13. A truck collides with a car, and during the collision, the net force on each vehicle
is essentially the force exerted by the other. Suppose the mass of the car is 550 kg,
the mass of the truck is 2200 kg, and the magnitude of the truck’s acceleration is
10 m/s 2. Find the magnitude of the car’s acceleration.
F = ma
F = (2200 kg)(10m/s2)
F = 22000N

F = ma
22000N = (550kg)a
22000 N/550kg
A = 40m/s2

b. A 8 kg wooden box sliding on a leather covered desk. (µ=0.40)

c. A 37 kg wooden crate sliding across a wood floor. (µ=0.20)
