(a) (b) (c) The friction of the road pushing on the tires of a car causes an automobile to move. The push of the air on the propeller moves the airplane. The push of the water on the oars causes the rowboat to move.

Q5.3

As a man takes a step, the action is the force his foot exerts on the Earth; the reaction is the force of the Earth on his foot. In the second case, the action is the force exerted on the girls back by the snowball; the reaction is the force exerted on the snowball by the girls back. The third action is the force of the glove on the ball; the reaction is the force of the ball on the glove. The fourth action is the force exerted on the window by the air molecules; the reaction is the force on the air molecules exerted by the window. We could in each case interchange the terms action and reaction. The tension in the rope must be 9 200 N. Since the rope is moving at a constant speed, then the resultant force on it must be zero. The 49ers are pulling with a force of 9 200 N. If the 49ers were winning with the rope steadily moving in their direction or if the contest was even, then the tension would still be 9 200 N. In all of these cases, the acceleration is zero, and so must be the resultant force on the rope. To win the tug-of-war, a team must exert a larger force on the ground than their opponents do. If you slam on the brakes, your tires will skid on the road. The force of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is less than the maximum static friction force. Anti-lock brakes work by pumping the brakes (much more rapidly that you can) to minimize skidding of the tires on the road. 113

Q5.6

With friction, it takes longer to come down than to go up. On the way up, the frictional force and the component of the weight down the plane are in the same direction, giving a large acceleration. On the way down, the forces are in opposite directions, giving a relatively smaller acceleration. If the incline is frictionless, it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to come down. As you pull away from a stoplight, friction is the force that accelerates forward a box of tissues on the level floor of the car. At the same time, friction of the ground on the tires of the car accelerates the car forward. Drop a stick into a running stream and fluid friction sets the stick into horizontal motion. The speed changes. The tangential force component causes tangential acceleration. A torque is exerted by the thrust force of the water times the distance between the nozzles. This is the same principle as the centrifuge. All the material inside the cylinder tends to move along a straight-line path, but the walls of the cylinder exert an inward force to keep everything moving around in a circular path. The water has inertia. The water tends to move along a straight line, but the bucket pulls it in and around in a circle. Blood pressure cannot supply the force necessary both to balance the gravitational force and to provide the centripetal acceleration, to keep blood flowing up to the pilots brain. I would not accept that statement for two reasons. First, to be beyond the pull of gravity, one would have to be infinitely far away from all other matter. Second, astronauts in orbit are moving in a circular path. It is the gravitational pull of Earth on the astronauts that keeps them in orbit. In the space shuttle, just above the atmosphere, gravity is only slightly weaker than at the Earths surface. Gravity does its job most clearly on an orbiting spacecraft, because the craft feels no other forces and is in free fall. From the proportionality of the drag force to the speed squared and from Newtons second law, we derive the equation that describes the motion of the skydiver:

where D is the coefficient of drag of the parachutist, and A is the projected area of the parachutists body. At terminal speed,
ay = dv y dt

= 0 and vT =

F 2mg I GH D A JK

12

When the parachute opens, the coefficient of drag D and the effective area A both increase, thus reducing the speed of the skydiver. Modern parachutes also add a third term, lift, to change the equation to
m dv y dt

= mg

D A 2 L A 2 vy vx 2 2

where v y is the vertical velocity, and v x is the horizontal velocity. The effect of lift is clearly seen in the paraplane, an ultralight airplane made from a fan, a chair, and a parachute.

Q5.15 Q5.16

Lower air density reduces air resistance, so a tank-truck-load of fuel takes you farther. The larger drop has higher terminal speed. In the case of spheres, the text demonstrates that terminal speed is proportional to the square root of radius. When moving with terminal speed, an object is in equilibrium and has zero acceleration. The thesis is false. The moment of decay of a radioactive atomic nucleus (for example) cannot be predicted. Quantum mechanics implies that the future is indeterminate. On the other hand, our sense of free will, of being able to make choices for ourselves that can appear to be random, may be an illusion. It may have nothing to do with the subatomic randomness described by quantum mechanics.

From the free-body diagram of the person,

F1 = F2 = F . Then, Fy = 2 F cos 22.0+85.0 lbs 170 lbs = 0 yields F = 45.8 lb.

Fx = f ( 45.8 lb) sin 22.0= 0 ,


or f = 17. 2 lb .

Fy = n tip ( 45.8 lb) cos 22.0 = 0 ,


which gives n tip = 42.5 lb . For minimum coefficient of friction, the crutch tip will be on the verge of slipping, so f 17.2 lb = = 0.404 . f = f s max = s n tip and s = n tip 42.5 lb

P5.38

For the system to start to move when released, the force tending to move m 2 down the incline, m 2 g sin , must exceed the maximum friction force which can retard the motion: f max = f1 ,max + f 2 ,max = s ,1n1 + s , 2 n 2 f max = s ,1 m1 g + s , 2 m 2 g cos From Table 5.1, s ,1 = 0.610 (aluminum on steel) and s , 2 = 0.530 (copper on steel). With m1 = 2.00 kg, m 2 = 6.00 kg, = 30.0 ,

FIG. P5.38

the maximum friction force is found to be fmax = 38.9 N . This exceeds the force tending to cause the system to move, m 2 g sin = 6.00 kg 9.80 m s 2 sin 30 = 29.4 N . Hence, the system will not start to move when released . The friction forces increase in magnitude until the total friction force retarding the motion, f = f1 + f 2 , equals the force tending to set the system in motion. That is, until f = m 2 g sin = 29.4 N .
