(a) If the rocket sled shown in Figure 4.32 starts with only one rocket burning, what is the magnitude of its acceleration? Assume that the mass of the system is 2100 kg, the thrust T is 2.4104 N, and the force of friction opposing the motion is known to be 650 N. (b) Why is the acceleration not one-fourth of what it is with all rockets burning?
A horizontal force of 95.0 N is applied to a 60.0.kg crate on a rough, level surface. If the crate accelerates at 1.20 m/s2, what is the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting on the crate? (See Section 4.5.)
. A person stands on a scale inside an elevator at rest (Figure 2.54). The scale reads 800 N. (a) What is the person's mass? (b) The elevator accelerates upward momentarily at the rate of 2 m/s2. What does the scale read then? (c) The elevator then moves with a steady speed of 5 m/s. What does the scale read now?
Consider the 65.0-kg ice skater being pushed by two others shown in Figure 5.21. (a) Find the direction and magnitude of Ftot, the total force exerted on her by the others, given that the magnitudes F1and F2are 26.4 N and 18.6 N, respectively. (b) What is her initial acceleration if she is initially stationary and wearing steel-bladed skates that point in the direction of Ftot? (c) What is her acceleration assuming she is already moving in the direction of Ftot? (Remember that friction always acts in the direction opposite that of motion or attempted motion between surfaces in contact.)

(b) What is the tension T1 in the cord attaching the baby to the scale? (c) What is the tension T2 in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.500 kg?

(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kg of her mass on that knee? (b) During strenuous exercise it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily ten times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pain.
The manager of a department store is pushing horizontally with a force of magnitude 200 N on a box of shirts. The box is sliding across the horizontal floor with a forward acceleration. Nothing else touches the box. What must be true about the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting on the box (choose one)? (a) It is greater than 200 N. (b) It is less than 200 N. (c) It is equal to 200 N. (d) None of those statements is necessarily true.
