A Physics 131 student is performing the Center of Mass of the Body lab using a force plate. The student places their hands on the force plate and performs a push up. When the student has fully extended their arms, the force plate measures a force of 450 N. Given the positions of the student's arms and feet relative to their center of mass (picture below), what is the student's weight in Newtons?

If the rocket sled starts with only onw rocket burning, what is the magnitute of its acceleration. Assume that the mass of the system is 2.50x10^3 kg, the thrust F=2.10x10^4N and the force of friction opposing the motion is known to be f=665N. a. What is the magnitude of its acceleration?
Recently, the Amazon and Virgin groups launched commercial space flights. These flights do not store fuel on board, instead, they inhale oxygen from the air. If the weight of one of these new rockets is 2420 kN, while a regular rocket is 19579 kN, what would be the acceleration of these two rockets close to the Earth's surface when a thrust of 25467 kN is applied?
A 1Zero Suit Samuskg object is located at a distance of 6.4 x106 m from the center of a larger object whose mass is 6.0 x 1024 kg. What is the size of the force acting on the smaller object?
Sharon pushes a tall box across the floor. Her arms (and therefore her push force) of F = 400 N make a theta= 30 degree angle with the horizontal. Since the box rests on ball bearings it is essentially frictionless. Sick of her job, Sharon decides to give the box a brief shove lasting only t = 0.2 seconds. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the box at the completion of Sharon's shove, assuming (a) the box's weight is 490 N, and (b) the box's weight is 122.5 N. In both cases, the box starts from rest.
In a soccer match against Mexico in 2014, US Women’s National Team striker Alex Morgan scored a sweetheaded goal in the 79th minute of the game. Just as the ball left her head, the horizontal component of its acceleration was 225 m/s , and the vertical component of its acceleration was -200 m/s (assuming thepositive direction points up). If the ball has a mass of 425 g, what was the magnitude and direction of theforce she applied to the ball? Note- you can ignore the weight of the ball.
A man is texting on his phone as he drives his car at 40 kmph, he suddenly notices a child is crossing the road so he rams his brake bringing the car to stop in 2s. If the car’s mass is 4000 kg and he weighs 60 kg, what was the retarding force on the car?
A force of 20 N acts on an initially stationary object with a mass of 2000g. What is the velovity of the object after this force has been acting on it for 9.5 seconds?
A box, initially at rest, has 23.1 N of force exerted in it for 5.69 s. If the box has a mass of 7.01 kg, what was its velocity and this time?
Let's say you hop on a see-saw with your little cousin. Your mass is 50 kg, and your cousin's is 25 kg. What happens if you and your cousin each sit 3 meters from the fulcrum of the see-saw?
y If a driver makes contact with a steering wheel during a 35-mph crash, she comes to rest in about ∆t = 15 ms. If, during an identical crash, the driver makes contact with an air bag, shecomes to rest in about ∆t = 110 ms. What is the ratio Fsw>Fab of theforce exerted by the steering wheel to the force exerted by the airbag on the driver?
The drawing shows Robin Hood(mass = 77.0 kg) about to escape froma dangerous situation. With one hand,he is gripping the rope that holds up achandelier (mass = 195 kg). When hecuts the rope where it is tied to thefloor, the chandelier will fall, and hewill b. pulled up toward a balconyabove. Ignore the friction between therope and the beams over which itslides, and find (a) the accelerationwith which Robin is pulled upward and (b) thetension in the rope while Robin escapes.
There are two forces on the 1.19 kg box in the overhead view of the figure but only one is shown. For F1 = 15.7 N, a = 14.7 m/s2, and θ = 34.1°, find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) a direction. (State the direction as a negative angle measured from the +x direction.)
