A) A 9 kg block on a frictionless table is pulled to the right by a string that runs over a pulley to a second block with a mass of 3. Find the tension in the string between the blocks. B) A 4 kg block on a frictionless table is pulled to the right by a 18 N force. A string runs to the left to a second block also on the table. If the acceleration of both blocks is 4, find the mass of the second block.

The wheels of a midsize car exert a force of 2100 N backward on the road to accelerate the car in the forward direction. If the force of friction including air resistance is 250 N and the acceleration of the car is 1.80 m/s2, what is the mass of the car plus its occupants? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
Which statement is correct? (a) Net force causes motion. (b) Net force causes change in motion. Explain your answer and give an example.
One or more external forces are exerted on each object enclosed in a dashed box shown in Figure 4.2. Identify the reaction to each of these forces.
Two children pull a third child on a snow saucer sled exerting forces F1 and F2 as shown from above in Figure 4.36. Find the acceleration of the 49.00-kg sled and child system. Note that the direction of the frictional force is unspecified; it will be in the opposite direction of the sum of F1 and F2.
