1) You own a very skinny but very talkative donkey, you are trying that the donkey pulls a load of goods. The donkey says to you, "No way!!, I know Newton's 3rd law, no matter how hard I pull the load is just going to exert an equal but opposite force on me, so the load won't move." Draw a picture of the situation b. We do know that donkeys are capable of pulling and moving loads, wagons, carts a. etc, so what kind of explanation would you give the donkey to convince him to pull? What is right and what is wrong with the donkey's logic? C.

A 3.00-kg object undergoes an acceleration given by a=(2.00i+5.00j)m/s2. Find (a) the resultant force acting on the object and (b) the magnitude of the resultant force.
As a horse and wagon are accelerating From rest, the horse exerts a force of 400 N on the wagon (Figure 2.56), Illustrating Newton's third law, the wagon exerts an equal and opposite force of 400 N. Because the two forces are in opposite directions, why don't they cancel each other and produce zero acceleration (i.e., no motion)?
If a constant, nonzero force is applied to an object, what can you say about the velocity and acceleration of the object?
Two masses are attached to a spring scale as shown in Fig. 3.25. If both masses are 1 kg, which force, in newtons, would the scale read? (Hint: Think of holding a free end of the rope on one side of the scale with only the weight on the other.) Figure 3.25 What Does the Scale Read? See Short Answer 16.
Why does an ordinary rifle recoil (kick backward) when fired? The barrel of a recoilless rifle is open at both ends. Describe how Newton's third law applies when one is fired. Can you safely stand close behind one when it is fired?
According to Newtons second law of motion, when an object is acted upon by an unbalanced force, what can be said about the acceleration? (3.3) (a) It is inversely proportional to the objects mass. (b) It is zero. (c) It is inversely proportional to the net force. (d) It is independent of mass.
When you push on a box with a 200-N force instead of a 50-N force, you can feel that you are making a greater effort. When a table exerts a 200-N normal force instead of one of smaller magnitude, is the table really doing anything differently?
Repeat the previous problem for the situation in which the rocket sled decelerates at a rate of 201 m/s2. In this problem, the forces are exerted by the seat and restraining belts.
A 63.0-kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s2. What is the net external force on him?
Your hands are wet, and the restroom towel dispenser is empty. What do you do to get drops of water off your hands? How does the motion of the drops exemplify one of Newtons laws? Which one?
Calculate the force a 70.0-kg high jumper must exert on the ground to produce an upward acceleration 4.00 times the acceleration due to gravity. Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.
