Newton’s Laws of Motion N2L Practice Name: ______________________ Date: ___________ Due: Wed, Feb 6 2019 1. Consider the following scenario: y x A block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A hand pushes horizontally so that the block reaches the desired speed, vmax. The hand is removed and the block slows to rest. The block’s velocity along the x-direction is given qualitatively by the graph below. Sketch qualitatively-correct and consistent free-body diagrams and force addition diagrams for times t1 through t4 below. t1 FBD t2 FAD FBD FAD FBD t3 FBD FAD t4 FAD 2. A curling stone of mass 18 kilograms is observed to slow down from a speed of 4.5 m/s to a speed of 1.5 m/s during a time interval of 7.5 seconds. Determine the magnitude of the net force on the stone. Physics -1- Mr. Almeida 3. A 4.0 kg bucket of grease is being pulled upward by a cord. (a) Which is greater, the gravitational force or the tension force if the bucket is … iii. ___ gravitational ___ tension …ascending and speeding up iv. ___ gravitational ___ tension …rising and slowing down v. ___ gravitational ___ tension …descending and speeding up vi. ___ gravitational ___ tension …descending and slowing down (b) Find the tension in the cord if the bucket is accelerating upward at 2.4 m/s2. 4. A football coach sits on a sled while two of his players build their strength by dragging the sled across the field with ropes. The friction force on the sled is 1200 N and the angle between the two ropes is 22°. How hard must each player pull to drag the coach at a steady 2.0 m/s? 5. You push a 1.60 kg box along a surface that is inclined at 25.0° such that the box accelerates upward along the incline at 0.5 m/s2 along the incline. The friction between the box and incline is negligible. Find the magnitudes of the individual forces acting on the box. Physics -2- Mr. Almeida
