A sportsbag is sitting on the floor; a person pulls on a handle of the bag with a force of strength 50 N. The force is directed 60° above horizontal. Due to this force being applied, the bag slides across the floor. If the bag has a mass of 10 kg, what is the magnitude of its acceleration across the floor? 1. Less than 5 m/s? 2.5 m/s2 3. More than 5 m/s? 4. Not enough information to decide.

The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b. If the debris has a mass of 2549 kg, what is the net acceleration of the debris? FIGURE P5.25

trying to get his car out of mud, a man ties one end of a rope around the front bumper and the other end tightly around a utility pole 18 m away. He then pushes sideways on the rope at its midpoint with a force of 550 N, displacing the center of the rope 0.30 m, but the car barely moves.What is the magnitude of the force on the car from the rope? (The rope stretches somewhat.)
Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 77.9 N77.9 N , Jill pulls with 87.1 N87.1 N in a direction 45° to the left, and Jane pulls in a direction 45° to the right with 119 N119 N . (Since the donkey is involved with such uncoordinated people, who can blame it for being stubborn?) Find the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. magnitude of the net force: NN What is the direction of the net force? Express this as the angle from straight ahead between 0° and 90°, with a positive sign for angles to the left and a negative sign for angles to the right. direction of the net force:
