Dr. Hewitt is turning them back to their original position. Some alphabet letters are floating in a bowl of soup. You want to move a letter that is far away from you closer to you. How could you rotate the bowl to do that? a. Unfortunately, neither rotating the bowl clockwise nor rotating it counterclockwise will work. b. Rotate the bowl counterclockwise. c. Rotate the bowl either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on where the letter is located. d. Rotate the bowl clockwise. Why do the alphabet letters tend to do what they do when you rotate the bowl? a. They have inertia−−the tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest. b. The letters are heavier than the soup, so they cannot move even though the soup moves. c. The soup prevents the letters from moving. d. The sides of the soup bowl prevent the letters from moving. When Dr. Hewitt pulls the tablecloth, what happens to the items on the tablecloth? a. They tend to stay where they were. b. They move vertically upward. c. They move horizontally in the opposite direction from the tablecloth. d. They move horizontally in the same direction as the tablecloth. When Dr. Hewitt pulls the tablecloth, why do the items on the tablecloth do what they do? a. Their inertia is sufficient to keep them there. b. Friction with the table is keeping them there. c. Friction with the tablecloth is keeping them there. d. They are attached to the tablecloth. You tell your friend about the neat tablecloth trick that Dr. Hewitt demonstrated. Your friend tries to repeat this trick at home and later complains to you that it failed. Which of the following is most likely the reason that it failed? a. Your friend pulled the tablecloth too slowly. b. Your friend pulled the tablecloth too quickly. c. The items placed on the tablecloth were too light. d. Your friend is too clumsy. Find the strength of the net force produced by a 20-NN force and a 8.0-NN force in each of these cases. Both forces act in the same direction. F= 28 N Find the strength of the net force produced by a 20-NN force and a 8.0-NN force in each of these cases. The two forces act in opposite directions. F = 12 N Suppose a monkey weighs 102 NN and the vine supporting her pulls upward with a force of 150 NN. What is the net force on the monkey? 48 N Suppose a monkey weighs 102 NN and the vine supporting her pulls upward with a force of 150 NN. Describe her motion. a. The monkey moves upward with a constant speed while the force acts. b. The monkey moves downward with a constant speed while the force acts. c. The monkey accelerates upward while the force acts. d. The monkey accelerates downward while the force acts. When the strong man shown (Figure 1) exerts a downward force of 890 NN on the rope, how much upward force is exerted on the block? 890 N The equilibrium rule F = 0 applies to a. objects or systems at rest. b. objects or systems in uniform motion in a straight line. c. both d. neither The support force on a 10-N book that rests on a horizontal surface is
