Ch 04: Newton's Laws of Motion
Chapter 4, Problem 4
A hockey puck with mass 0.160 kg is at rest at the origin (x = 0) on the horizontal, frictionless surface of the rink. At time t = 0 a player applies a force of 0.250 N to the puck, parallel to the x-axis; she continues to apply this force until t = 2.00s. (a) What are the position and speed of the puck at t = 2.00 s?

Textbook Question
Crates A and B sit at rest side by side on a frictionless horizontal surface. They have masses mA and mB, respectively. When a horizontal force F is applied to crate A, the two crates move off to the right. (a) Draw clearly labeled free-body diagrams for crate A and for crate B. Indicate which pairs of forces, if any, are third-law action–reaction pairs.

Textbook Question
A ball is hanging from a long string that is tied to the ceiling of a train car traveling eastward on horizontal tracks. An observer inside the train car sees the ball hang motionless. Draw a clearly labeled free-body diagram for the ball if (b) the train is speeding up uniformly. Is the net force on the ball zero in either case? Explain.

Textbook Question
A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover's truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward with a force F→ whose direction makes an angle of 30.0° with the ramp (Fig. E4.4). (b) How large will the component Fy perpendicular to the ramp be then?
