FQ#1

I. Essay

1. Why does a child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward?
2. If an object is moving, is it possible for the net force acting on it to be zero? Explain.
3. If the acceleration of an object is zero, are no forces acting on it? Explain
4. Can the normal force on an object ever do work? Explain

II. Problem Solving

1. (a) What is the acceleration of two falling sky divers (total including parachute) when the upward force of air resistance
is equal to one-fourth of their weight?
(b) After opening the parachute, the divers descend leisurely to the ground at constant speed. What now is the
force of air resistance on the sky divers and their parachute?

2. Draw the free-body diagram for a basketball player (a) just before leaving the ground on a jump,
and (b) while in the air.

3. A 7180-kg helicopter accelerates upward at 0.80 m/s2 while lifting a 1080-kg frame at a construction site.
(a) What is the lift force exerted by the air on the helicopter rotors? (b) What is the tension in the cable (ignore its
mass) which connects the frame to the helicopter? (c) What force does the cable exert on the helicopter?

4. A 72-kg water skier is being accelerated by a ski boat on a flat (“glassy”) lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the skier’s skis and the water surface is 𝜇𝑘 = 0.25. (a) What is the skier’s acceleration if the rope
pulling the skier behind the boat applies a horizontal tension force of magnitude FT = 240 N to the skier (b) What is
the skier’s horizontal acceleration if the rope pulling the skier exerts a force of FT = 240 N on the skier at an upward
angle 𝜃 = 12°? (c) Explain why the skier’s acceleration in part (b) is greater than that in part (a)

5. A ski starts from rest and slides down a 28° incline 85 m long. (a) If the coefficient of friction is 0.090, what is the
ski’s speed at the base of the incline? (b) If the snow is level at the foot of the incline and has the same coefficient
of friction, how far will the ski travel along the level? Use energy methods.

6. An 18-kg sled starts up a 28° incline with a speed of 2.3 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 𝜇𝑘 = 0.25.
(a) How far up the incline does the sled travel? (b) What condition must you put on the coefficient of static friction
if the sled is not to get stuck at the point determined in part (a)? (c) If the sled slides back down, what is its speed
when it returns to its starting point?

7. A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 38.0° from the top of a 135-m-high cliff with a speed of 165 m/s. What
will be its speed when it strikes the ground below? (Use conservation of energy.)

8. How long will it take a 2750-W motor to lift a 385-kg piano to a sixth-story window 16.0 m above?

9. How long will it take a 2750-W motor to lift a 385-kg piano to a sixth-story window 16.0 m above?

10. A 380-kg piano slides 2.9 m down a 25° incline and is kept from accelerating by a man who is pushing back on it
parallel to the incline. Determine: (a) the force exerted by the man, (b) the work done on the piano by the man, (c) the
work done on the piano by the force of gravity, and (d) the net work done on the piano. Ignore friction.
