Question

Using your knowledge of Newton’s laws of motion, answer the following problems. 

1. A child is coasting on his bicycle, when the bicycle collides with a
fence. Using Newton's first law, explain what will likely happen to the
child.
2. Use Newton's second law to explain why two objects that appear
identical from the outside do not travel the same distance when the
same amount of force is applied to them.
3. During a slap-shot, 55 N of force is exerted on a 0.15 kg hockey
puck. Neglecting (ignoring) friction, what will the puck's acceleration
be?
4. A book is lying on a table. State two sets of action-reaction forces
associated with the book.
5. You are shown a heavy crate that you must pull to a finish line, using
a rope. However, you are told that you must exert a force forwards
on the crate and that the crate will exert an equal force backward on
you. Before you get to pull the crate to the finish line, you must
explain how it is even possible to move the crate if these are equal,
but opposite forces.
