Problem 1 My First Force Suppose you pull a wagon with a constant force which causes it to accelerate with acceleration, ao. What will the acceleration be if: (a) you pull with twice the force, (b) you fill the wagon with groceries that have a mass three times the mass of the wagon but pull with the original force, and (c) you pull with twice the force while the groceries are in it?

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800.0 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating backward at 1.20m/s2 . (a) What is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) What force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110.0 kg?
While sliding a couch across a floor, Andrea and Jennifer exert forces FA and FJ on the couch. Andrea’s force is due north with a magnitude of 130.0 N and Jennifer’s force is 32 east of north with a magnitude of 180.0 N. (a) Find the net force in component form. (b) Find the magnitude and direction of the net force. (c) If Andrea and Jennifer’s housemates, David and Stephanie, disagree with the move and want to prevent its relocation, with what combined forceFDS should they push so that the couch does not move?
A drone is being directed across a frictionless ice- covered lake. The mass of the drone is 1.50 kg, and its velocity is 3.00i m/s . After 10.0 s, the velocity is 9.00i+4.00j m/s . If a constant force in the horizontal direction is causing this change in motion, find (a) the components of the force and (b) the magnitude of the force.
A student is attempting to move a 30-kg mini-fridge into her dorm room. During a moment of Inattention, the mini-fridge slides down a 35 degree incline at constant speed when she applies a force of 25 N acting up and parallel to the Incline. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the fridge and the surface of the incline?
A skydiver is at an altitude of 1520 m. After 10.0 seconds of free fall, he opens his parachute and finds that the air resistance, FD , is given by the formula FD=bv , where bis a constant and vis the velocity. If b=0.750 , and the mass of the skydiver is 82.0 kg, first set up differential equations for the velocity and the position, and then find: (a) the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens, (b) the distance fallen before the parachute opens, (c) the terminal velocity after the parachute opens (find the limiting velocity), and (d) the time the skydiver is in the air after the parachute opens.
A person doing a chin-up weighs 700 N, exclusive of the arms. During the first 25.0 cm of the lift, each arm exerts an upward force of 355 N on the torso. If the upward movement starts from rest, what is the persons velocity at that point?
