ACTIVITY 2.

Quantifying Forces

(Fnet=0)

CN_____ Name ____________________________________ Section_______________ Date______________ INSTRUCTIONS: Use the idea of balanced forces--- all forces to the right must have the same magnitude as those to the left and all forces up must have the same magnitude as those directed downward. Remember: for an object to stay in constant speed or state of rest, the net is should be zero. Identify the forces acting on each object below and write the magnitude of each identified force.

1. Static

2. Sliding at constant speed

3. Falling at constant speed

FN=10N T=10N Fg=10N Fg=10N Fg=10N R=10N

4. Sliding at constant speed

FN=9.06N Ff=4.23N

5. Sliding horizontally at constant speed

FN=7.89N Ff=4.53N T=5N 25

6. The hand is pushing at the angle of the finger (forward and down) and the rock moves at a constant velocity.

FN=13.01N

Fg=10N

FN =Fgy Fg cos 10 cos 25 9.06N

Ff =Fgx Fg sin 10 sin 25 4.23N

Fg=10N
Ff =Tx T cos 5 cos 25 4.53N
Fg =FN +Ty FN =Fg -Ty =Fg -Tsin =10-5sin25 =7.89N

Ff=3.99N Fg=10N
Fg +Fa y =FN FN =Fg +Fa y =Fg +Fa sin =10+5sin37 =13.01N

Fa=5N
