Notes - 4 - FBD

The document outlines various examples and problems related to Newton's Laws of Motion, focusing on free body diagrams (FBDs) and calculations of forces in different scenarios. It includes examples of objects at rest, in motion, and experiencing various forces, as well as a worksheet with problems requiring the application of Newton's Second Law. Solutions to the problems are also provided, demonstrating the application of the laws in practical situations.

Force Description
Ex 1: A box is pushed across a rough floor at a
constant velocity.

Ex 2: A hockey player glides on frictionless ice at a


constant velocity.
1. A book is at rest on a table top.

2. A girl sleeps in a hammock which is attached to the ceiling 7. A college student rests a backpack upon his
by two ropes. shoulder. The pack is suspended motionless by one
strap from one shoulder.

3. An egg is free-falling from a nest in a tree. Neglect air


resistance. 8. A skydiver is descending with a constant velocity.
Consider air resistance.

4. A plane flies at a constant velocity (Note: there will be an


applied force generated by the engines as well as a lift force 9. A force is applied to the right to drag a sled across

Worksheet 4.2: Newton’s Second Law Worksheet #2
1) A 1100 kg car accelerates from rest to 60.0 km/h over a distance of 45 m. Find the net force acting on
the car.

2) A 1400 kg car is traveling at 24 m/s when the driver takes his foot off of the gas. The car eventually rolls
to a stop after 225 m. Find the force of friction acting on the car.

3) A 950 kg car travels at a constant speed of 35 m/s. If 350 N of friction act on the car, what is the applied
force provided by the engine?

4) Ernie pushes Bert on a toboggan across some frictionless snow. Bert and the toboggan have a total mass
of 85 kg and they are accelerating at 3.0 m/s2.
a. Find Ernie’s applied force (FErnie)

b. If Ernie and Bert hit a bare patch of concrete that exerts a force of friction on the sled of 180 N, what
will their acceleration be in this time?

5) A student raises their 15 kg backpack from the floor at a constant velocity of 5.0 m/s. How much force
must the student apply?

6) A physics teacher attaches a 4.0 kg brick to a light string (boy do you need a new hobby!) and pulls
straight up on it. The brick accelerates upwards at 3.2 m/s2. How much force did the teacher apply to the
brick?

7) A 75kg skydiver falls at terminal velocity (220 km/h) before pulling the chute. If she slows to 25 km/h
in 3.8 s, determine the average force of air friction that acts on her during her deceleration.

8) A 45 kg chimpanzee on a skateboard accelerates from rest to 13.0 m/s over a distance of 8.0 m. A force
of friction of 65 N acts on the board. What force must the chimp apply?

9) A 1350 kg crash test car strikes a cement wall at 24.0 m/s and bounces back at 8.0 m/s.
a. If it is in contact with the wall for 0.90 s, what force did the wall exert on the car?

b. If the same car had no crumple zones then it would only be in contact with the wall for 0.080 s. What
force would the wall exert in this case?

1) 3400 N 2) 1800N 3) 350 N 4) a. 260 N b. 0.94 m/s2 5) 150 N 6) 52 N 7) 1800N 8) 540 N 9)a. 4.8x104 N
