A military transport truck with a mass of $8,000 \text{ kg}$ is towing a loaded artillery trailer with a mass of $4,000 \text{ kg}$ along a level, straight road. The truck's engine generates a total forward driving force of $36,000 \text{ N}$ . During motion, the truck experiences a resistive drag force of $8,000 \text{ N}$ , and the trailer experiences its own resistive drag force of $4,000 \text{ N}$ . Assuming the tow bar connecting them is perfectly rigid and horizontal, what is the tension force in the tow bar?

Cevap: $12,000 \text{ N}$

Cevap

The tension force in the tow bar is

12,000 \text{ N}

.

To find the tension, you must analyze the forces. First, calculate the acceleration of the entire system. The total mass is

12,000 \text{ kg}

. The net force on the system is the driving force minus both drag forces:

36,000 \text{ N} - (8,000 \text{ N} + 4,000 \text{ N}) = 24,000 \text{ N}

. Using

a = F_{net}/m

, the system's acceleration is

24,000 \text{ N} / 12,000 \text{ kg} = 2.0 \text{ m/s}^2

. Next, isolate the trailer to find the tension. The net force required to accelerate just the trailer is

4,000 \text{ kg} \times 2.0 \text{ m/s}^2 = 8,000 \text{ N}

. The tension must provide this net force PLUS overcome the trailer's

4,000 \text{ N}

drag. Therefore, Tension = Net Force + Drag =

8,000 \text{ N} + 4,000 \text{ N} = 12,000 \text{ N}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the total mass and the net forward force for the entire two-vehicle system.

Total mass =

12,000 \text{ kg}

. Net force =

36,000 \text{ N} - (8,000 \text{ N} + 4,000 \text{ N}) = 24,000 \text{ N}

.

Newton's Second Law must first be applied to the system as a whole to determine their shared acceleration.

2

Calculate the acceleration of the system using Newton's Second Law (

a = F_{net}/m

).

a = 24,000 \text{ N} / 12,000 \text{ kg} = 2.0 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Because the tow bar is rigid, the truck and trailer accelerate at the exact same rate.

3

Isolate the trailer as a free body and apply Newton's Second Law to find the tension (

T

) in the tow bar.

The net force on the trailer is

m \times a = 4,000 \text{ kg} \times 2.0 \text{ m/s}^2 = 8,000 \text{ N}

. Since

F_{net} = T - F_{drag}

, we get

8,000 \text{ N} = T - 4,000 \text{ N}

, which means

T = 12,000 \text{ N}

.

The tension in the tow bar must provide enough force to both overcome the trailer's drag and accelerate its mass.

Cevap: Mass: $150 \text{ kg}$ , Weight: $300 \text{ N}$

Cevap

The mass is

150 \text{ kg}

and the weight is

300 \text{ N}

.

The correct answer accurately calculates the initial mass as

150 \text{ kg}

using the weight on the vessel (

1500 \text{ N} / 10 \text{ m/s}^2

). Because mass is an invariant property, it remains

150 \text{ kg}

on the moon. The new weight is then found by multiplying this mass by the moon's local gravity (

150 \text{ kg} \times 2 \text{ m/s}^2 = 300 \text{ N}

).

Calculate the mass of the boulder using its initial weight and the artificial gravity in the processing bay.

m = \frac{W_1}{g_1} = \frac{1500 \text{ N}}{10 \text{ m/s}^2} = 150 \text{ kg}

A mechanic is servicing a high-speed gearbox and must choose a lubricant. If a heavy, thick grease is used instead of a lightweight oil, the gearbox will require more mechanical power to maintain its high rotational speeds. What is the primary cause of this increased resistance?

The greater viscosity of the thick grease creates higher fluid friction against the moving gears.

The layer of grease increases the total surface area of the gears, which directly multiplies the kinetic friction.

The thick grease adds extra mass to the assembly, and this added weight is what strongly resists the rotational motion.

The thick grease absorbs all reaction forces between the gear teeth, neutralizing the inertia of the system.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The greater viscosity of the thick grease creates higher fluid friction against the moving gears.

Cevap

The greater viscosity of the thick grease creates higher fluid friction against the moving gears.

Thick grease has a high viscosity, meaning it strongly resists flow and deformation. When gears rotate at high speeds through this thick substance, they must continuously shear and displace the grease. This creates substantial fluid friction (drag), which opposes the motion of the gears and requires the system to draw more mechanical power to maintain its speed.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the type of resistance introduced when machine parts move through a liquid or semi-solid substance.

The resistance is fluid friction, also known as drag or viscous resistance.

Because the gears are completely coated by a lubricant, they must continuously push the fluid out of the way as they spin.

2

Compare the physical properties of a lightweight oil and a thick grease.

Thick grease has a much higher viscosity than lightweight oil.

Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's internal resistance to flow and deformation.

3

Determine how this viscosity affects high-speed mechanical operation.

Higher viscosity results in greater fluid friction against the fast-moving gears, requiring more energy from the motor to maintain speed.

Moving through a thicker, more resistant substance requires more force than moving through a thinner one.

Cevap: False

Cevap

The statement is false.

The statement is false because Newton's Third Law mandates that forces between two interacting objects are always exactly equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, irrespective of their differing masses or momentums.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the interacting bodies and the nature of the forces described in the scenario.

The two bodies are a massive cargo ship and a small wooden boat experiencing a collision, which constitutes an interacting force pair.

Identifying the system and the interaction is necessary to apply the correct physical laws.

2

Apply Newton's Third Law to the interaction.

The law states that force pairs between two interacting objects are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction (

F_{ship} = -F_{boat}

).

This fundamental law dictates how forces operate between any two interacting bodies, regardless of their physical properties.

3

Evaluate the role of mass and momentum mentioned in the statement.

While the ship has significantly greater mass and momentum, these factors determine the resulting acceleration (

a = \frac{F}{m}

) and subsequent damage, not the magnitude of the interacting force pair itself.

It is critical to distinguish between the contact force itself and the effects (acceleration, deformation) of that force.

Cevap: Mass = $75 \text{ kg}$ , Weight = $300 \text{ N}$

Cevap

Mass =

75 \text{ kg}

, Weight =

300 \text{ N}

The correct answer accurately separates the concepts of mass and weight. First, the mass is found by dividing the Earth weight by Earth's gravity (

750 \text{ N} / 10 \text{ m/s}^2 = 75 \text{ kg}

). Because mass never changes regardless of location, it stays

75 \text{ kg}

. The new weight is then found by multiplying this constant mass by the outpost's gravity (

75 \text{ kg} \times 4 \text{ m/s}^2 = 300 \text{ N}

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the module's mass using its weight on Earth.

m = \frac{W}{g} = \frac{750 \text{ N}}{10 \text{ m/s}^2} = 75 \text{ kg}

.

Weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration (

W = mg

). Rearranging this formula allows us to find the intrinsic mass.

2

Determine the module's mass at the planetary outpost.

The mass remains

75 \text{ kg}

.

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is an invariant property that does not change when moved to a different gravitational field.

3

Calculate the module's new weight at the planetary outpost.

W_{new} = m \times g_{outpost} = 75 \text{ kg} \times 4 \text{ m/s}^2 = 300 \text{ N}

.

Weight is a force that depends on the local gravitational pull. The new weight must be calculated using the outpost's specific gravitational acceleration.

Anahtar Kavram

Mass is an invariant property representing the amount of matter (measured in kilograms), whereas weight is the gravitational force acting on that mass (measured in Newtons) and varies depending on the local gravitational field.

A tower crane is lowering a massive concrete beam to the ground. For a brief period, the beam descends at a constant, steady velocity. According to Newton's First Law, what must be true about the primary forces acting on the beam during this steady descent?

The upward tension in the cable exactly equals the downward weight of the beam, resulting in zero net force.

The downward weight of the beam must exceed the upward tension in order to overcome the beam's inertia and maintain its downward motion.

The upward tension in the cable must be exactly equal to the beam's mass to prevent it from accelerating.

The net downward force acting on the beam is proportional to its steady downward velocity.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The upward tension in the cable exactly equals the downward weight of the beam, resulting in zero net force.

Cevap

The upward tension in the cable exactly equals the downward weight of the beam, resulting in zero net force.

According to Newton's First Law, an object in motion will maintain a constant velocity as long as the net external force acting on it is zero. Since the beam descends at a steady, unchanging speed, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the upward force (cable tension) and the downward force (beam's weight) must be perfectly equal and balanced.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the object's state of motion described in the scenario.

The concrete beam is moving at a constant, steady velocity.

Determining the state of motion (constant velocity vs. accelerating) is the first step in applying Newton's Laws.

2

Apply Newton's First Law of motion to the object's state.

Because the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. Therefore, the net external force acting on the beam must be zero.

Newton's First Law dictates that an object maintains a constant velocity if and only if the forces acting upon it are balanced (net force is zero).

3

Evaluate the specific forces acting on the beam.

The primary forces are the downward force of gravity (weight) and the upward force from the cable (tension). To achieve a net force of zero, these opposing forces must be exactly equal in magnitude.

For vertical forces to cancel out and produce a zero net force, the upward pulls must perfectly equal the downward pulls.

Anahtar Kavram

Objects moving in a straight line at a constant velocity have zero acceleration and therefore experience a net force of zero, meaning all opposing forces perfectly balance each other.

The elevator scenario pairs with passengers continuing downward; the turning vehicle pairs with objects moving in a straight path (appearing to move right); the stationary block pairs with remaining stationary due to no unbalanced forces; and the skydiver pairs with balanced forces resulting in zero net force.

Each pairing correctly applies the principle of inertia to a specific physical system. Newton's First Law explains both why moving objects resist stopping or turning (the elevator and vehicle scenarios) and why objects maintain their current state when forces are balanced (the stationary block and the constant-velocity skydiver).

Objects tend to travel in a straight line. As the car turns left underneath them, their straight-line inertia makes them move right relative to the car.

The correct matches are: stationary tires demonstrate Static Friction; brake pads demonstrate Kinetic Friction; ball bearings demonstrate Rolling Friction; and moving through mud demonstrates Fluid Friction.

Each mechanical scenario perfectly isolates one of the four primary types of friction. Stationary objects resisting motion rely on static friction.

Cevap

Crate Y has four times the inertia of Crate X, meaning it requires four times as much opposing force to stop in the same amount of time.

The correct answer accurately identifies that inertia is entirely a function of mass. Because Crate Y's mass is four times greater than Crate X's mass, its inertia is proportionally larger. As a direct consequence, stopping Crate Y in the identical amount of time as Crate X requires four times the applied opposing force.

Identify the relevant physics principle governing objects moving at a constant velocity without friction.

Newton's First Law (inertia) applies, indicating that an object's resistance to any change in its motion is entirely dependent on its mass.

The crates are coasting on a frictionless surface with no external driving forces, meaning their behavior is purely a function of inertia.

2

Evaluate and compare the physical properties of the two crates.

Crate Y (

800\text{ kg}

) possesses exactly four times the mass of Crate X (

200\text{ kg}

).

Comparing their mass establishes their relative inertia, as mass is the only measure of inertia.

3

Determine how this difference in inertia affects the external forces required to alter their state of motion.

Because Crate Y has four times the inertia, it takes four times the braking force to achieve the same rate of deceleration as Crate X.

Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

) demonstrates that applied force must scale proportionately with mass to produce the identical acceleration or deceleration.

Anahtar Kavram

Inertia is an intrinsic property of matter that depends exclusively on mass, representing an object's natural resistance to any change in its velocity.

Cevap

The correct pairings strictly follow the A-on-B / B-on-A rule, where the reaction force is always the exact same type of force exerted in the opposite direction by the receiving object back onto the originating object.

According to Newton's Third Law, forces always come in pairs. If body A exerts a force on body B, then body B simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force on body A. The correct matches precisely swap the 'exerter' and the 'receiver' of the force while maintaining the identical fundamental type of force (gravitational, magnetic, aerodynamic, or mechanical).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the action force to identify the two interacting bodies (Object A and Object B).

For example, in the skydiver scenario, Object A is the Earth and Object B is the skydiver.

Newton's Third Law strictly dictates that action and reaction forces must occur between two interacting objects.

2

Identify the type and direction of the force exerted by Object A on Object B.

The Earth exerts a downward gravitational force on the skydiver.

You must know the exact nature of the action force to find its true paired reaction.

3

Reverse the roles of the objects and the direction of the force to find the reaction.

The reaction must be Object B (the skydiver) exerting an upward gravitational force on Object A (the Earth).

Reaction forces are always equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, of the same type, and act on the opposing body.

4

Repeat this reversal process for all given scenarios and select the matching right-side items.

Helicopter on air pairs with air on helicopter; Magnet on steel pairs with steel on magnet; Nozzle on water pairs with water on nozzle.

This guarantees an accurate mapping of all Newton's Third Law pairs without falling for common distractors like balancing forces.

In a mechanical system where a solid weight is swung in a horizontal circle on a tether, match each observed physical action or effect with the correct physics terminology.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct pairings match the inward pull to centripetal force, the release direction to tangential path, the resistance to turning to inertia, and the outward sensation to the centrifugal effect.

In circular motion, the tether provides an inward centripetal force. Inertia is the mass's resistance to turning, causing the centrifugal effect (outward sensation). If the tether breaks, this inertia carries the mass in a straight tangential path.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the inward pulling force described in the first scenario.

Matches with 'Centripetal force'.

By definition, the net inward force keeping an object in circular motion is the centripetal force.

2

Determine the path of the object if the tether breaks.

Matches with 'Tangential path'.

Newton's First Law states an object will move in a straight line if no net force acts upon it, making its path tangent to the circle.

3

Identify the property causing resistance to turning.

Matches with 'Inertia'.

Inertia is the fundamental resistance of mass to any change in its state of motion.

4

Identify the term for the apparent outward push.

Matches with 'Centrifugal effect'.

The sensation of being thrown outward is a perceived effect in a rotating frame, known as the centrifugal effect.

A rubber drive belt is slipping on a steel motor pulley because there is insufficient frictional resistance between the two surfaces. Which of the following adjustments will most effectively increase the frictional force to prevent the belt from slipping?

Using a narrower belt to decrease the contact area

Increasing the tension on the drive belt

Replacing the pulley with a heavier one of the same size

Applying a sudden rotational force to use the pulley's inertia

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Increasing the tension on the drive belt

Cevap

Increasing the tension on the drive belt

The correct adjustment increases the belt's tension. Friction depends on two main factors: the materials involved (coefficient of friction) and how hard they are pressed together (normal force). In a mechanical drive system, increasing the belt tension pulls the belt tighter around the pulley, directly increasing the normal force pressing inward. This higher normal force generates a proportionally higher static friction, giving the belt better grip to prevent slipping.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the formula and components of mechanical friction.

The maximum static frictional force is determined by the equation

F_f = \mu F_N

, where

\mu

is the coefficient of friction and

F_N

is the normal force.

Understanding the mathematical relationship reveals which physical variables can be manipulated to change the friction.

2

Determine how normal force is generated in a belt and pulley system.

The normal force (the force pressing the belt perpendicularly into the face of the pulley) is generated by the tension pulling on the ends of the belt.

To increase

F_N

(and thereby increase

F_f

), we must increase the force that squeezes the two components together.

3

Evaluate the given modifications.

Increasing the tension directly increases the normal force. Changing the surface area or pulley mass does not affect the normal force between the mating surfaces.

This confirms that tightening the belt is the mechanically correct method to stop slipping.

Anahtar Kavram

Frictional force is directly proportional to the normal force pressing two surfaces together, and in a belt-drive system, this normal force is created by belt tension.

A warehouse automated sorting system applies a constant net horizontal force of $200 \text{ N}$ to a package with a mass of $50 \text{ kg}$ . What is the resulting acceleration of the package?

4 \text{ m/s}^2

0.25 \text{ m/s}^2

40 \text{ m/s}^2

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $4 \text{ m/s}^2$

Cevap

The resulting acceleration of the package is

4 \text{ m/s}^2

.

According to Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

), acceleration is calculated by dividing the applied net force by the object's mass. Dividing

200 \text{ N}

by

50 \text{ kg}

correctly results in

4 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the known variables provided in the problem.

Net Force (

F

) =

200 \text{ N}

; Mass (

m

) =

50 \text{ kg}

.

Correctly identifying the givens ensures the proper values are placed into the physics formula.

2

State Newton's Second Law of Motion and rearrange it to solve for acceleration.

The formula

F = ma

becomes

a = \frac{F}{m}

.

The question asks for the resulting acceleration, so the formula must isolate

a

.

3

Substitute the known values into the rearranged formula and calculate the result.

a = \frac{200}{50} = 4 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Executing the division yields the final acceleration value in standard metric units.

Anahtar Kavram

Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

) demonstrates that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
