A car has a mass of 1600 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 8000 N. Draw a picture and identify all the forces acting on the car while the brakes are applied before it stops. Draw a free body diagram (FBD) of the car during this time. Don’t forget to label your coordinate system. If the car was initially moving at 20 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?

Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 (m1 m2) are placed on a frictionless table in contact with each other. A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to the block of mass m1 in Figure P4.62. (a) If P is the magnitude of the contact force between the blocks, draw the free-body diagrams for each block. (b) What is the net force on the system consisting of both blocks? (c) What is the net force acting on m1? (d) What is the net force acting on m2? (e) Write the x-component of Newtons second law for each block. (f) Solve the resulting system of two equations and two unknowns, expressing the acceleration a and contact force P in terms of the masses and force. (g) How would the answers change if the force had been applied to m2 instead? (Hint: use symmetry; dont calculate!) Is the contact force larger, smaller, or the same in this case? Why? Figure P4.62

Using the results from Part (a), input an expression for the truck's acceleration, at, while breaking? What is the magnitude of the acceleration in m/s2? How far does the truck travel, d in meters, before stopping?

A 2.00 kg stone is sliding to the right on a frictionless horizontal surface at 5.00 m/s when it is suddenly struck by an object that exerts a large horizontal force on it for a short period of time. The graph in the figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of this force as a function of time. Just after the force stops acting, find the magnitude of the stone's velocity if the force acts to the right and find the magnitude of the stone's velocity if the force acts to the left.
A rocket of mass 2.8 × 106 kg is launched straight upward into the sky. Its thrust force vector has a magnitude of 7.78 × 107 N . Note that it experiences a weight force due to gravity. Ignore air resistance. (a.) Draw a free-body diagram for the rocket. (b.) Using the forces you identified in your free-body diagram, apply Newton’s Second Law (in component form) to find the x- and y-components, ax and ay, of the rocket’s acceleration vector. (c.) What, then, is the magnitude and direction of the rocket’s acceleration?
