ANS: Physics is about the basic nature of things such as motion, matter, and energy. Physics underlies the science of chemistry, which is a study of how matter is put together. Chemistry, in turn, underlies biology and the life sciences. Physics, therefore is the basic science. 54. ANS: The scientific method involves making some sort of educated guess about the solution to a problem, devising an experiment to test this guess, gathering data, analyzing the data, and forming a generalization based on results of your data. For example, we use the scientific method when we conclude that the moon affects ocean tides, or that liquids will turn to gases when heated sufficiently. The scientific method generally is used to make rules about the nature of things. 55. ANS: This table should include time (second, base), distance (meter, base), displacement (meter, base), position (meter, base), velocity (meter per second, derived), acceleration (meter per second squared, derived), mass (kilogram, base), and force (Newton or kilogram times meter per second square, derived). 56. ANS: Net energy is never created or destroyed. It can change from one form to another form. A swinging pendulum has the most gravitational potential energy at the top of its swing. At that point it has no kinetic energy. At the bottom of its swing its potential energy is at a minimum, or zero relative to that lowermost point, and its kinetic energy is at a maximum. Halfway down, it has half kinetic and half gravitational potential energy. Everywhere along the swing the sum of the kinetic and potential energies is the same, hence its mechanical energy is constant. When air resistance and friction are taken into account, energy is transferred from the pendulum to the surroundings in the form of heat. 57. ANS: Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. Velocity is speed in a direction. When you get in a car and travel on a highway at 90 km/hr that is your speed. If you are traveling south, then your velocity is 90 km/h S. 58. ANS: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Since velocity has both speed and direction, if the direction of a moving object changes, as in rounding a corner, then the object is accelerating.

14 PROBLEMS 59. ANS: D = m V 40.0 g = 1 kg (100 cm)3 = 420. kg 95.2 cm g (1 m) 3 m ANS: D = m V = m l w d l = m D w d = 589 g 1 kg (745 kg m 3)(8.75 cm)(3.85 cm) 1000 g 61. ANS: Law of Conservation of Energy, therefore 1550 J. 62. ANS: d = 1 2 at2 +V 0 t and v 0 = 0 a = 2d t ANS: v = at+v 0, at the ball s peak v = 0, so t = v 0 2(42.0 m) = = 37 m (1.5 s) 2 s 2 = 5 m s a 9.81 m s 2 = 0.5 s (100 cm)2 (1 m) 2 = m 64. ANS: if we study the downward portion of the jump, which will take ½ the total, hang-time, d = 1 2 at2 +V 0 t = 1 ( 9.81 m 2 s of the jump. 2) (0.7 s 2 )2 = 0.6 m, distance is negative because it s the downward portion 65. ANS: d = 1 2 at2 +V 0 t and v 0 = 0 t = 2d = 2( 1250 m) a 9.81 m = 16.0 s s ANS: F = F y 2 + F x 2 = (6.0 N) 2 + (4.0 N) 2 = 7.2 N 67. ANS: weight = F g = m a = 0.9 kg ( 9.81 m s 2) 1 = 1.47 kg 1 kg ANS: v y = v sin θ = 2.50 m s (sin 40.0) = 1.61 m s 69. ANS: assuming no air resistance, v x = v xo, v y = a y t + v 0 and v = v y 2 + v x 2 therefore, v = v y 2 + v x 2 = (a y t + v 0 ) 2 + (v xo ) 2 = ( 9.81 m s 2 (4 s) + 30 m s )2 + (10 m s )2 = 13.6 m s θ = tan 1 v y v x = tan m ( s 2(4 s)+30 m s ) 10 m s = 42.7 or ANS: range = (v 0 2 )sin 2θ = (755 m s )2 sin 2(38.5 ) a y 9.81 m = m s ANS: y max = v 0 2 sin 2 θ + y 2a 0 v 0 = 2a y (y max y 0 ) y sin 2 θ = 2( 9.81m s2)(25.0 m) = 31.3 m sin s

15 72. ANS: Free body diagram shows F g vector pointing straight down from the center of the trapeze and F N vector pointing straight up from the same point. F ga and F gb vectors point straight down from each end of the trapeze, and F TA and F TB vectors point straight up from the same points at each end of the trapeze. F g = m g = 45.5 kg ( 9.81 m s2) = 446 N F F ga = F gb = m g 2 N = F g = ( 446 N) = 446 N m (45.5 kg kg) ( 9.81 s = 2) = 228 N F 2 TA = F TB = F ga = ( 228 N) = 228 N F TA F N F TB F GA F g F gb 73. ANS: Free body diagram shows force of gravity vector pointing down and force of friction vector pointing straight up. Both vectors originate at the skydiver/parachute center of gravity. At terminal velocity a = 0, F net = F g + F f and F net = m a therefore, F net = (55.5 kg kg) (0 m s 2) = 0 = F g + F f F f = F g F g = m g = (55.5 kg kg) ( 9.81 m s 2) = 666 kg and F f = ( 666 kg) = 666 kg F f F g 74. ANS: F net = m a and F net = F p + F f therefore, m a = F p + F f a = F p+f f m 300 N+( 100 N) = = 4 m 50 kg s ANS: There is no friction nor is any person or mechanical device pushing the box. Therefore, gravity is the only force causing the crate to move down the box, so we need to rotate the axes and find the component force of gravity that is parallel with the ramp. We will call this the x-component. F net = m a and F net = F p + F f + F gx = 0 N + 0 N + F gx therefore, F gx = m a F gx = F g cos θ F g cos θ = m a a = F g cos θ m m 25.5 kg ( 9.81 s2) cos( ) = 25.0 kg = 4.91 m s 2
