A motorized winch is pulling a supply pallet across a rough concrete loading dock. The winch applies a constant horizontal pulling force of $1,500 \text{ N}$ . The kinetic friction between the pallet and the dock is $300 \text{ N}$ . If the pallet accelerates at $1.5 \text{ m/s}^2$ , what is the mass of the pallet?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $800 \text{ kg}$

Cevap

The correct mass of the pallet is

800 \text{ kg}

.

The correct answer is found by first determining the net force acting on the pallet. Subtracting the

300 \text{ N}

friction from the

1,500 \text{ N}

applied pulling force yields a net force of

1,200 \text{ N}

. Using Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

), dividing the net force by the acceleration (

1.5 \text{ m/s}^2

) gives a mass of

800 \text{ kg}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the net force acting on the pallet by subtracting the friction force from the applied pulling force.

F_{net} = 1,500 \text{ N} - 300 \text{ N} = 1,200 \text{ N}

Newton's Second Law requires the total net force acting on the object, so all opposing forces must be accounted for.

2

Use Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

) to solve for the mass.

m = \frac{F_{net}}{a} = \frac{1,200 \text{ N}}{1.5 \text{ m/s}^2} = 800 \text{ kg}

Mass is equal to the net force divided by the resulting acceleration.

Cevap

The turning force is an inward centripetal force provided by friction. The outward sensation is caused by inertia. Losing friction results in a tangential straight-line path, and doubling the speed quadruples the required centripetal force.

Each matching pair accurately connects real-world driving observations with Newton's laws of motion. Circular paths require inward centripetal forces. Physical sensations of being pushed outward are simply inertia. Loss of that inward force results in a straight, tangential trajectory, and the mathematical relationship of

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

dictates that doubling speed requires four times the inward force.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the primary force enabling circular motion.

The car requires a net inward force, known as centripetal force, which is supplied by road friction.

Without a force pulling the object toward the center of the curve, circular motion is impossible.

2

Analyze the physical cause of the driver's outward sensation.

The sensation is determined to be the result of inertia, not a real physical outward force.

Newton's First Law states objects resist changes in direction. The body tries to go straight while the car door pushes inward.

3

Determine the path of the vehicle if the centripetal force drops to zero (hitting ice).

The path becomes a straight line tangent to the exact point on the curve where friction was lost.

When the inward force ceases, the vehicle instantly resumes straight-line motion.

4

Calculate the proportional change in force if velocity is doubled.

Using

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

, inserting

2v

yields

(2v)^2 = 4v^2

, meaning the required force is 4 times greater.

Centripetal force scales with the square of the velocity.

An automated loading mechanism pushes a $40 \text{ kg}$ projectile along a horizontal guide rail into a weapon system. The mechanism applies a constant forward force of $700 \text{ N}$ . If the sliding friction in the guide rail opposes the motion with a force of $100 \text{ N}$ , what is the acceleration of the projectile?

Cevap: 15

Cevap

15

The correct acceleration is found by first determining the net force acting on the projectile. Subtracting the

100 \text{ N}

of friction from the

700 \text{ N}

applied force yields a net force of

600 \text{ N}

. According to Newton's Second Law (

F = ma

), dividing this net force by the

40 \text{ kg}

mass results in an acceleration of

15 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the net horizontal force acting on the projectile.

700 \text{ N} - 100 \text{ N} = 600 \text{ N}

The net force is the vector sum of all forces; friction directly opposes the forward applied force.

2

Use Newton's Second Law to set up the equation for acceleration.

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

Acceleration equals the net force divided by the mass of the object.

3

Substitute the known values into the equation.

a = \frac{600}{40} = 15 \text{ m/s}^2

Dividing the computed net force by the given mass provides the exact acceleration.

A mechanical centrifuge features a horizontal rotating arm with a heavy sample container secured at the outer end. During high-speed operation, the retaining bracket holding the container abruptly breaks, eliminating the inward force. According to the principles of circular motion and inertia, which of the following best describes the immediate trajectory of the sample container?

It will fly directly outward along the radius, straight away from the center of the centrifuge.

It will snap inward toward the center hub as an equal and opposite reaction to the break.

It will travel in a straight line tangent to the circular path at the exact point of the break.

It will continue to curve but accelerate, because removing the restraining force inversely increases its acceleration.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: It will travel in a straight line tangent to the circular path at the exact point of the break.

Cevap

The sample container will travel in a straight line tangent to the circular path.

The correct answer accurately describes the tangent path. When the inward centripetal force provided by the bracket is suddenly removed, there is no longer a net force acting on the container to pull it into a circular path. Due to inertia (Newton's First Law), the container will continue moving in a straight line at its current instantaneous velocity. Because the velocity vector is always tangent to the circular path at any given moment, the object will fly off in a straight, tangent line.

The correct matches pair the specific interacting bodies in each scenario by reversing the direction of the force and swapping the subject and object.

In every mechanical interaction, forces occur in equal and opposite pairs. To correctly identify the reaction force, you must isolate the exact two interacting bodies and simply reverse both the direction of the force and their roles. If Body A pushes Body B forward, the precise reaction is Body B pushing Body A backward.

An artillery cannon fires a heavy projectile horizontally across a testing ground. As expanding gases force the projectile rapidly forward out of the barrel, the entire cannon assembly recoils backward. Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between the forces acting on the projectile and the cannon?

The backward force on the cannon is significantly smaller than the forward force on the projectile because the cannon has a larger mass.

The cannon recoils backward because its heavy downward weight acts horizontally to counterbalance the projectile's momentum.

The force accelerating the projectile forward is exactly equal in magnitude to the reaction force pushing the cannon backward.

The backward recoil is caused entirely by the projectile's resting inertia resisting the sudden forward acceleration.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The force accelerating the projectile forward is exactly equal in magnitude to the reaction force pushing the cannon backward.

Cevap

The force acting on the projectile and the reaction force acting on the cannon are exactly equal in magnitude.

Newton's Third Law dictates that all forces exist in pairs. During the firing sequence, the forward action force applied to the projectile generates a simultaneous, equal, and opposite backward reaction force on the cannon. The cannon moves backward much slower only because of its massive size, not because it experiences less force.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the interacting physical bodies in the system.

The expanding explosive gases interact simultaneously with both the projectile and the cannon barrel.

Newton's Third Law applies to the mutual interaction forces between interacting objects.

2

Apply the principle of action and reaction to the interacting bodies.

The action force pushes the projectile forward, and a simultaneous reaction force pushes the cannon backward.

Forces always occur in equal and opposite pairs.

3

Evaluate the relationship between force, mass, and the resulting motion.

The forces are perfectly identical in magnitude. The cannon accelerates much less than the projectile only because it has significantly more mass.

Newton's Second Law (

F=ma

) dictates that the same magnitude of force applied to a larger mass results in a smaller acceleration, which often creates the illusion of unequal forces.

A mechanical centrifugal clutch connects a small engine to a drive shaft. As the engine's rotational speed increases, internal weighted shoes slide outward against spring tension until they press firmly against the outer drum, engaging the drive. According to the principles of circular motion, which of the following best explains the physical cause of the shoes moving outward?

The inertia of the shoes causes them to naturally tend toward a straight-line path, and at higher speeds, the springs fail to provide enough inward centripetal force to keep them at a small radius.

An outward centripetal force is generated by the engine's rotation, which actively overcomes the springs and pushes the weighted shoes away from the center.

The turning shaft generates an equal and opposite reaction force that acts outward on the shoes, driving them into the drum.

The high velocity of the spinning shoes creates a high static pressure zone at the center of the clutch, pushing the shoes outward.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The inertia of the shoes causes them to naturally tend toward a straight-line path, and at higher speeds, the springs fail to provide enough inward centripetal force to keep them at a small radius.

Cevap

The inertia of the shoes causes them to naturally tend toward a straight-line path, and at higher speeds, the springs fail to provide enough inward centripetal force to keep them at a small radius.

By Newton's First Law, the rotating shoes have mass and velocity, meaning they naturally tend to travel in a straight, tangential path (inertia). To stay in a tight circular path around the shaft, they require a continuous inward pull, known as centripetal force, which is provided by the springs. As the engine speeds up, the inward force required to maintain that small radius increases significantly. When that required force exceeds the tension the springs can provide, the shoes travel outward along their inertial path until the outer drum stops them.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the forces acting on the rotating shoes.

The only actual radial force applied to the shoes is the tension from the springs, which pulls them inward toward the center shaft.

Understanding the free-body diagram prevents the assumption of fictional outward forces.

2

Apply Newton's First Law (Inertia) to the moving shoes.

Because the shoes have mass and velocity, they want to travel in a straight, tangential line due to inertia.

Circular motion requires a constant inward force to continuously pull the object out of its natural straight-line path.

3

Evaluate the relationship between rotational speed and required force.

As speed increases, a much larger inward force (

F = mv^2/r

) is required to keep the shoes in a tight circle. When the speed exceeds what the spring tension can counteract, the shoes follow their inertial path outward until they hit the drum.

This explains the mechanical engagement of the clutch without inventing an outward pushing force.

Doğru

Yanlış

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: False

Cevap

The claim is false. The forces exerted by the two vehicles upon each other are identical in magnitude.

The statement is false because Newton's Third Law of Motion dictates that any two interacting bodies exert equal and opposite forces upon one another. Even though the truck possesses a much larger mass, the actual force of impact it applies to the car is exactly the same magnitude as the force the car applies to the truck.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the two interacting objects and the physical law governing their interaction.

The objects are the heavy truck and the lightweight car. The mutual interaction is governed by Newton's Third Law of Motion (action and reaction).

Determining the correct physical principle is necessary to evaluate the relationship between the forces during the collision.

2

Apply Newton's Third Law to the collision scenario.

The law states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Therefore, the force the truck exerts on the car must be identical in magnitude to the force the car exerts on the truck.

This direct application of the law disproves the claim made in the question stem.

3

Differentiate between the applied force and the resulting acceleration to avoid common misconceptions.

While the impact forces are exactly equal, the car experiences a significantly greater acceleration (and consequently more structural damage) because its mass is much smaller (

a = \frac{F}{m}

).

Clarifying why the car suffers more damage confirms that the unequal effects are due to mass differences under Newton's Second Law, not unequal forces.

Anahtar Kavram

Newton's Third Law states that all forces exist in pairs, and whenever two objects interact, they exert forces upon each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Alternatif Yöntem

You can logically verify this by considering Newton's Second Law combined with the Third Law. The perfectly equal forces cause different accelerations inversely proportional to the masses (

a = \frac{F}{m}

). The car's massive acceleration often misleads observers into incorrectly assuming the force applied to it was larger.

The forward momentum of the boat overcoming the water's resting resistance

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: The force of the water pushing forward against the propeller blades

Cevap

The force of the water pushing forward against the propeller blades directly propels the boat.

According to Newton's Third Law, forces always come in pairs. When the boat's propeller pushes water backward (action), the water simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force forward on the propeller (reaction). Because the propeller is attached to the boat, this reaction force is what propels the entire vessel forward.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the interacting bodies in the mechanical system.

The two primary interacting bodies are the boat's propeller and the surrounding water.

Newton's Third Law requires identifying the two distinct bodies exerting forces on each other.

2

Determine the action force created by the boat's mechanism.

The turning propeller exerts a force backward against the water.

To move forward, a marine propulsion system must push fluid in the opposite direction.

3

Apply Newton's Third Law to find the equal and opposite reaction force.

If the propeller pushes the water backward, the water must push the propeller forward with an equal magnitude of force.

Forces always occur in simultaneous pairs acting on different objects.

4

Isolate the force that acts specifically on the boat.

The forward force from the water acting on the propeller blades is what accelerates the boat forward.

An object's acceleration is determined only by the external forces acting upon it, not the forces it exerts on other things.

Cevap

Both workers experience an equal force of

The correct answer accurately combines Newton's Third and Second Laws. By the Third Law, the action force of

240 \text{ N}

exerted by Worker X creates an equal and opposite reaction force of

240 \text{ N}

on Worker X. By the Second Law (

F = ma

), acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Since Worker Y has half the mass (

60 \text{ kg}

) of Worker X (

120 \text{ kg}

), the same

240 \text{ N}

force will cause Worker Y to accelerate exactly twice as fast.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Determine the force acting on both workers using Newton's Third Law.

Both Worker X and Worker Y experience a

240 \text{ N}

force in opposite directions.

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The push of

240 \text{ N}

generates a reaction force of exactly

240 \text{ N}

on the person pushing.

2

Calculate the acceleration of Worker X using Newton's Second Law (

a = \frac{F}{m}

).

Acceleration of Worker X =

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

.

Acceleration depends on the net force applied and the total mass of the object.

3

Calculate the acceleration of Worker Y using Newton's Second Law (

a = \frac{F}{m}

).

Acceleration of Worker Y =

\frac{240 \text{ N}}{60 \text{ kg}} = 4 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Worker Y has the same magnitude of force applied but half the mass, resulting in a different acceleration.

4

Compare the accelerations of the two workers.

Worker Y (

4 \text{ m/s}^2

) accelerates exactly twice as fast as Worker X (

2 \text{ m/s}^2

).

The inversely proportional relationship between mass and acceleration means the object with half the mass achieves twice the acceleration under an identical force.

Cevap

The correct order from lowest to highest acceleration is: Naval destroyer, Armored personnel carrier, Transport plane, and Rescue helicopter.

By systematically calculating the acceleration for each scenario using the formula

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

, we can determine their respective values and order them properly. The naval destroyer evaluates to

0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

, the armored personnel carrier evaluates to

2.0 \text{ m/s}^2

, the transport plane evaluates to

4.0 \text{ m/s}^2

, and the rescue helicopter evaluates to

5.0 \text{ m/s}^2

. Placing these in ascending order yields the correct sequence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the acceleration of the naval destroyer.

a = \frac{15 - 5}{20} = 0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

Using the formula

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

2

Calculate the acceleration of the armored personnel carrier.

a = \frac{22 - 10}{6} = 2.0 \text{ m/s}^2

Using the formula

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

3

Calculate the acceleration of the transport plane.

a = \frac{60 - 0}{15} = 4.0 \text{ m/s}^2

Using the formula

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

, remembering that 'from rest' means an initial velocity of

0 \text{ m/s}

4

Calculate the acceleration of the rescue helicopter.

a = \frac{45 - 0}{9} = 5.0 \text{ m/s}^2

Using the formula

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

, remembering that 'from rest' means an initial velocity of

0 \text{ m/s}

5

Sequence the vehicles by their calculated acceleration values from lowest to highest.

0.5 < 2.0 < 4.0 < 5.0

To satisfy the condition of ordering from lowest rate to highest rate.

A coastal patrol boat is cruising at an initial velocity of $5.0 \text{ m/s}$ . The captain orders the engines to increase power, causing the boat to accelerate at a constant rate of $0.2 \text{ m/s}^2$ for exactly $1.5 \text{ minutes}$ .

What is the final velocity of the boat in $\text{m/s}$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 23

Cevap

23.0

The correct answer is derived by first converting the time from minutes to seconds (

1.5 \text{ min} = 90 \text{ s}

), calculating the total change in velocity (

0.2 \times 90 = 18.0 \text{ m/s}

), and then adding that change to the initial cruising velocity (

5.0 + 18.0 = 23.0 \text{ m/s}

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Extract and convert the time variable into seconds.

t = 1.5 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 90 \text{ seconds}

Acceleration is given in meters per second squared (

\text{m/s}^2

), so time must be in seconds to ensure unit consistency.

2

Calculate the total change in velocity during the acceleration phase.

\Delta v = a \times t = 0.2 \text{ m/s}^2 \times 90 \text{ s} = 18.0 \text{ m/s}

The change in velocity is the product of the constant acceleration and the duration of that acceleration.

3

Add the change in velocity to the initial velocity.

v_f = v_i + \Delta v = 5.0 \text{ m/s} + 18.0 \text{ m/s} = 23.0 \text{ m/s}

The final velocity is the starting velocity plus the amount the velocity increased.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $50 \text{ m/s}$

Cevap

The correct answer is

50 \text{ m/s}

.

The final velocity is found by first converting the given time to standard units (

0.1 \text{ minutes} = 6 \text{ seconds}

). Next, determine the total velocity gained by multiplying acceleration by time (

5 \text{ m/s}^2 \times 6 \text{ s} = 30 \text{ m/s}

). Finally, add this gained velocity to the initial velocity of

20 \text{ m/s}

to get a final velocity of

50 \text{ m/s}

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Convert the given time from minutes to seconds.

0.1 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 6 \text{ seconds}

Acceleration is given in

\text{m/s}^2

, so time must be in seconds to match units.

2

Calculate the total change in velocity (

\Delta v

) during the acceleration period.

\Delta v = a \times t = 5 \text{ m/s}^2 \times 6 \text{ s} = 30 \text{ m/s}

This determines how much speed the pod gained.

3

Add the change in velocity to the initial velocity to find the final velocity.

v_f = v_i + \Delta v = 20 \text{ m/s} + 30 \text{ m/s} = 50 \text{ m/s}

The final velocity is the starting velocity plus whatever velocity was gained.

Calculate the acceleration for each of the following pieces of equipment. Arrange the scenarios in order from the greatest acceleration to the least acceleration.

Öğeleri doğru sıraya koymak için sürükleyin

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The correct order from greatest to least acceleration is: Emergency response boat (

2.5 \text{ m/s}^2

), Heavy towing winch (

1.5 \text{ m/s}^2

), Runway snowplow (

1.2 \text{ m/s}^2

), and Construction crane (

0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

).

To determine the correct order, we must calculate the magnitude of acceleration for each scenario using the formula

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

. The boat has the highest acceleration (

2.5 \text{ m/s}^2

), followed by the winch (

1.5 \text{ m/s}^2

), the snowplow (

1.2 \text{ m/s}^2

), and finally the crane (

0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

). Arranging them from greatest to least yields this precise sequence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the acceleration of the emergency response boat.

The boat accelerates at

2.5 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Using the formula

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

, we get

a = \frac{25.0 - 5.0}{8.0} = 2.5 \text{ m/s}^2

.

2

Calculate the acceleration of the heavy towing winch.

The winch accelerates at

1.5 \text{ m/s}^2

.

Using the formula

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

, we get

a = \frac{4.0 - 1.0}{2.0} = 1.5 \text{ m/s}^2

.

3

Calculate the acceleration of the runway snowplow.

The snowplow accelerates at

1.2 \text{ m/s}^2

.

From a complete stop,

v_i = 0

.

a = \frac{12.0 - 0}{10.0} = 1.2 \text{ m/s}^2

.

4

Calculate the acceleration of the construction crane.

The crane accelerates at

0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

.

From rest,

v_i = 0

.

a = \frac{3.0 - 0}{6.0} = 0.5 \text{ m/s}^2

.

5

Order the calculated acceleration values from greatest to least.

Boat (

2.5

) > Winch (

1.5

) > Snowplow (

1.2

) > Crane (

0.5

).

The prompt requires arranging the scenarios in descending order based on their calculated magnitudes of acceleration.
