The questions
- A net force of 3600 N acts on a 1200 kg car. What is its acceleration?
- What is the weight of a 65 kg student on Earth? Take g = 9.81 m/s².
- The floor pushes up on a sliding crate with a normal force of 500 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.30. What friction force acts on the crate?
- A 10 kg box sits on a frictionless ramp inclined at 30°. What is the component of gravity acting down the slope? Take g = 9.81 m/s².
- A 5.0 kg cart is pushed right with 40 N while friction pushes left with 15 N. What is its acceleration?
- A book rests on a table. Which pair of forces is a Newton's third law action-reaction pair?
- A passenger lurches forward when a bus brakes suddenly. Which law explains this?
