What average force is required to stop a 1400 kg car in 8.0 s if the car is traveling at 85 km/h? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if the direction of the force is in the direction of the initial velocity and negative value if the direction of the force is in the direction opposite of the initial velocity.

A dated box of dates, of mass 7.1 kg, is sent sliding up a frictionless ramp at an angle of θ to the horizontal. The figure here gives, as a function of time t, the component vx of the box's velocity along an x axis that extends directly up the ramp.

In the figure below, a runaway truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 36 m/s just before the driver steers the truck up a frictionless emergency escape ramp with an inclination of theta = 15°.

Consider the block shown in the figure, which has a mass m and is sitting at rest on a ramp making an angle of θ with respect to the floor. How big is the normal force acting on the block due to the ramp? Equal to mg sin(θ). Less than mg. Greater than mg. Equal to mg. The answer depends on the size of the frictional force.

A 75-kg petty thief wants to escape from a third-story jail window. Unfortunately, a makeshift rope made of sheets tied together can support a mass of only 58 kg. How might the thief use this “rope” to escape? Give a quantitative answer.
The diagram below shows a block of mass m=2.00kg on a frictionless horizontal surface, as seen from above. Three forces of magnitudes F1=4.00N, F2=6.00N, and F3=8.00N are applied to the block, initially at rest on the surface, at angles shown on the diagram. (Figure 1) In this problem, you will determine the resultant (total) force vector from the combination of the three individual force vectors. All angles should be measured counterclockwise from the positive x axis (i.e., all angles are positive). Part A) Calculate the magnitude of the total resultant force Fr= F1+F2+F3 acting on the mass. Part B) What angle does Fr make with the positive x axis? Part C) What is the magnitude and direction of the mass's acceleration vector, a ? Part D) How far (in meters) will the mass move in 5.0 s? Part E) What is the magnitude of the velocity vector of the block at t=5.0s? Part F) In what direction is the mass moving at time t=5.0s?

In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
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).
