A warehouse forklift applies a constant horizontal forward force of $300\text{ N}$ to a $120\text{ kg}$ cargo pallet moving across a level floor. A constant opposing friction force of $60\text{ N}$ acts against the pallet. What is the magnitude of the pallet's acceleration in $\text{m/s}^2$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2

Cevap

The magnitude of the pallet's acceleration is

2\text{ m/s}^2

.

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of an object equals the net unbalanced force acting upon it divided by its mass (

a = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{m}

). The net force is the forward applied force minus opposing friction (

300\text{ N} - 60\text{ N} = 240\text{ N}

). Dividing

240\text{ N}

by the mass of

120\text{ kg}

yields an acceleration of

2\text{ m/s}^2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the net horizontal force acting on the object by combining all horizontal force components.

F_{\text{net}} = F_{\text{applied}} - F_{\text{friction}} = 300\text{ N} - 60\text{ N} = 240\text{ N}

Forces in opposite directions subtract to yield the overall resultant force causing acceleration.

2

Use Newton's second law (

F_{\text{net}} = m \cdot a

) to solve for acceleration (

a

).

a = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{m} = \frac{240\text{ N}}{120\text{ kg}} = 2\text{ m/s}^2

Acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.

Cevap: $240\text{ N}$

Cevap

The magnitude of the horizontal net force acting on the rover is

240\text{ N}

.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion (

F = ma

), the net force acting on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. An object's mass is invariant across different gravitational fields. Therefore, accelerating a

120\text{ kg}

rover horizontally at

2.0\text{ m/s}^2

requires a horizontal net force of

120\text{ kg} \times 2.0\text{ m/s}^2 = 240\text{ N}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relevant physical law and given values.

Mass

m = 120\text{ kg}

, horizontal acceleration

a = 2.0\text{ m/s}^2

Mass is an intrinsic scalar property that remains constant regardless of location or local gravity.

2

Calculate the horizontal net force required to accelerate the mass.

F_{\text{net}} = 120\text{ kg} \times 2.0\text{ m/s}^2 = 240\text{ N}

Cevap

Static friction matches the resistive force opposing the start of sliding motion; terminal velocity matches the constant speed reached when fluid resistance equals gravity; centripetal acceleration matches the inward rate of change of velocity along a curved trajectory; impulse matches the product of applied net force and time interval.

Each physical mechanics concept accurately pairs with its standard operational definition: static friction prevents the onset of relative sliding; terminal velocity occurs at fluid dynamic equilibrium when drag balances weight; centripetal acceleration governs directional change toward a circle's center; and impulse represents force applied over time to change momentum.

Matched to the resistive force opposing the start of sliding motion between stationary surfaces.

Static friction acts exclusively on objects at rest up to the threshold of motion.

2

Identify the definition of terminal velocity

Matched to the constant speed reached when upward fluid resistance equals downward gravity.

When drag balances weight, net force becomes zero, producing constant velocity during free fall.

3

Identify the definition of centripetal acceleration

Inward acceleration is required to continuously alter the direction of velocity in curved motion.

4

Identify the definition of impulse

Matched to the product of an applied net force and the time interval.

Impulse is quantified as force multiplied by time duration (

J = F \Delta t

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $1,500\text{ N}$

Cevap

The boat's engine must produce a forward thrust of

1,500\text{ N}

.

To find the total thrust, first determine the acceleration from the velocity change (

18\text{ m/s} \div 6\text{ s} = 3\text{ m/s}^2

). Using Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

), the net forward force required is

400\text{ kg} \times 3\text{ m/s}^2 = 1,200\text{ N}

. Because

300\text{ N}

of water resistance opposes the boat, the engine must supply enough forward force to overcome drag plus provide the net accelerating force:

1,200\text{ N} + 300\text{ N} = 1,500\text{ N}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the acceleration of the patrol boat using kinematic relations.

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t} = \frac{18\text{ m/s} - 0\text{ m/s}}{6\text{ s}} = 3\text{ m/s}^2

Uniform acceleration is defined as the change in velocity divided by the elapsed time.

2

Determine the net horizontal force required to accelerate the boat using Newton's Second Law.

F_{\text{net}} = m \cdot a = 400\text{ kg} \times 3\text{ m/s}^2 = 1,200\text{ N}

The net force acting on any mass is directly proportional to its acceleration (

F = ma

).

3

Apply the net force equation along the horizontal axis to solve for engine thrust.

F_{\text{thrust}} - F_{\text{resistance}} = F_{\text{net}} \implies F_{\text{thrust}} = 1,200\text{ N} + 300\text{ N} = 1,500\text{ N}

The engine thrust must overcome the backward resistive drag while providing the remaining force needed for forward acceleration.

Displacement matches with the straight-line vector from starting to final position; Average speed matches with total path distance divided by elapsed time; Normal force matches with the perpendicular support force exerted by a surface; Unbalanced force matches with a non-zero net force causing a change in velocity.

Each concept correctly aligns with its precise definition in classical kinematics and dynamics: displacement measures the net position vector, average speed measures scalar distance over time, the normal force provides perpendicular support, and an unbalanced force produces net acceleration.

1

Identify the spatial vector measurement between two points.

Displacement represents the straight-line path and direction from initial to final position.

Unlike total distance, displacement depends only on the starting and ending positions.

2

Identify the scalar measure of motion rate.

Average speed equals total path distance divided by time elapsed.

Speed is scalar and does not take direction into account.

3

Normal force is the perpendicular push provided by a surface supporting a mass.

In physics, 'normal' means perpendicular to the contact plane.

Identify that a body in motion at constant velocity or at rest requires zero net external force to maintain that state.

Inertia represents the natural resistance of any physical body to a change in its state of velocity.

2

Determine the quantitative formulation linking net force, mass, and acceleration for Newton's Second Law.

Match the law to the relation

a = \frac{F_{\text{net}}}{m}

, representing acceleration produced by an unbalanced force.

Newton's Second Law provides the fundamental equation of dynamics relating force inputs to kinematic acceleration.

3

Examine the nature of action-reaction force pairs acting across interacting objects for Newton's Third Law.

Match the law to simultaneous, equal-magnitude, opposite-direction forces acting on separate bodies.

Action-reaction pairs act on different objects and therefore cannot cancel each other out to prevent individual body acceleration.

4

Evaluate the state of total vector momentum in a closed physical system for Conservation of Linear Momentum.

Match the law to the constancy of total vector momentum when external net forces are absent.

In the absence of external net forces, the time derivative of total system momentum is zero.

A maintenance cart with a mass of $250\text{ kg}$ travels along a straight horizontal track. If the cart uniformly slows down from an initial velocity of $15\text{ m/s}$ due east to $5\text{ m/s}$ due east over a time interval of $5\text{ seconds}$ , what is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the cart?

500\text{ N}

directed due east

500\text{ N}

directed due west

4{}900\text{ N}

directed due west

0.5\text{ N}

Cevap: $500\text{ N}$ directed due west

Cevap

The magnitude of the net force is

500\text{ N}

, directed due west.

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time:

a = (5\text{ m/s} - 15\text{ m/s}) / 5\text{ s} = -2\text{ m/s}^2

. The negative sign indicates an acceleration directed due west (opposite to the eastward motion). Applying Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

), the net force is

250\text{ kg} \times 2\text{ m/s}^2 = 500\text{ N}

directed due west.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the acceleration using the kinematics formula

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

.

a = \frac{5\text{ m/s} - 15\text{ m/s}}{5\text{ s}} = \frac{-10\text{ m/s}}{5\text{ s}} = -2\text{ m/s}^2

(or

2\text{ m/s}^2

directed west).

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time.

2

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the net force using Newton's Second Law,

F_{\text{net}} = m \cdot a

.

F_{\text{net}} = 250\text{ kg} \times 2\text{ m/s}^2 = 500\text{ N}

directed west.

Net force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration and always points in the same direction as the acceleration vector.

Use the impulse-momentum theorem (

F_{\text{net}} \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot \Delta v

). Here,

\Delta p = 250\text{ kg} \times (5\text{ m/s} - 15\text{ m/s}) = -2{}500\text{ kg}\cdot\text{m/s}

. Dividing momentum change by

\Delta t = 5\text{ s}

yields

F_{\text{net}} = -500\text{ N}

, meaning

500\text{ N}

directed west.

Cevap

Newton's First Law pairs with the statement describing an object maintaining constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force; Newton's Second Law pairs with the statement that acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass; Newton's Third Law pairs with the statement regarding equal and opposite force interactions between two bodies; and the Law of Conservation of Momentum pairs with the statement that total mass times velocity remains constant in a closed system.

Each mechanical principle aligns directly with its formal physical definition: Newton's First Law governs inertia and zero-acceleration states; Newton's Second Law defines how net force produces acceleration proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass; Newton's Third Law defines equal and opposite force pairs between interacting bodies; and the Law of Conservation of Momentum dictates the invariance of total system momentum in closed systems.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the foundational definition of inertia and unaccelerated motion.

Newton's First Law matches the description of objects maintaining rest or uniform straight-line motion unless a net external force intervenes.

Inertia requires zero net force for constant velocity.

2

Identify the quantitative relationship governing net force, acceleration, and mass.

Newton's Second Law matches the relationship where acceleration is proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass (

F_{\text{net}} = ma

).

This law provides the direct causal formula for changing an object's velocity.

3

Identify the law governing reciprocal force pairs between interacting objects.

Newton's Third Law matches the statement of equal and opposite forces acting simultaneously on two separate bodies.

Forces in nature always exist in matched action-reaction pairs across interacting bodies.

4

Identify the principle governing total quantity of motion across collisions in isolated systems.

The Law of Conservation of Momentum matches the constant total vector product of mass and velocity (

mv

) in closed systems.

Internal interaction forces cancel out vectorially across the entire system, preserving total momentum.
