Part A

1. Identify each of the following forces as contact or non-contact forces.


(i) The force between the north pole of a magnet and a paper clip.
(ii) The force required to open the door of a taxi.
(iii) The force required to stop a soccer ball.
(iv) The force causing a ball, dropped from a height of 2 m, to fall to the floor.

A. (i) non-contact, (ii) contact, (iii) contact, (iv) non-contact


B. (i) non-contact, (ii) non- contact, (iii) contact, (iv) non-contact
C. (i) contact, (ii) contact, (iii) non-contact, (iv) non-contact
D. (i) contact, (ii) non-contact, (iii) non-contact, (iv) contact
2. A body moving at a CONSTANT VELOCITY on a horizontal plane, has several
unequal forces acting on it. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?
(i) At least two of the forces must be acting in the same direction.
(ii) The resultant of the forces is zero.
(iii) Friction between the body and the plane causes a resultant force.
(iv) The vector sum of the forces causes a resultant force which acts in the direction
of motion.

A. (i)

C. (ii)
D. (i) and (iii)
3. Consider a solid metal sphere (S) a few centimeters in diameter and a feather (F). For
each quantity in the list that follows, indicate whether the quantity is the same,
greater, or lesser in the case of S or in that of F. Explain in each case why you gave
the answer you did. Here is the list:
(a) the gravitational force,

(b) the time it will take to fall a given distance in air,

(c) the time it will take to fall a given distance in vacuum,

(d) the total force on the object when falling in vacuum.

4. State TRUE or FALSE for each statement below.


SITUATIONS

i. No force acting on a stationary object.

ii. An object accelerates when at least a force acts on it.

iii. Normal force acts on an object in the projectile motion.

1. Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in Figure P4.12.

(a) What is the resultant of these two forces?


(b) If the car has a mass of 3 000 kg, what acceleration does it have? Ignore friction.

(b) 0.266 m/s2

2. A 1000 N crate is being pushed across a level floor at a constant speed by a force F of
300 N at an angle of 20.0° below the horizontal, as shown in Figure P4.41a.

(a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor?

(b) If the 300-N force is instead pulling the block at an angle of 20.0° above the
horizontal, as shown in Figure P4.41b, what will be the acceleration of the crate?
Assume that the coefficient of friction is the same as that found in part (a).

Answer: (a) 0.256 (b) 0.509 m/s2

3. A block of mass m = 5.8 kg is pulled up a θ = 25° incline as in Figure P4.30 with a


force of magnitude F = 32 N.

(a) Find the acceleration of the block if the incline is frictionless.


(a) Find the acceleration of the block if the coefficient of kinetic friction between
the block and incline is 0.10.
Answer: (a) 1.4 m/s2 (b) 0.48 m/s2
