An object of mass m = 1.00 kg is observed to have an acceleration a with a magnitude of 10.0 m/s2 in a direction 60.0 east of north. Figure P4.29 shows a view of the object from above. The force F2 acting on the object has a magnitude of 5.00 N and is directed north. Determine the magnitude and direction of the one other horizontal force F1 acting on the object. Figure P4.29

An object of mass M is held in place by an applied force F and a pulley system as shown in Figure P4.43. The pulleys are massless and frictionless. (a) Draw diagrams showing the forces on each pulley. Find (b) the tension in each section of rope, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 and (c) the magnitude of F. Figure P4.43 44. Any device that allows you to increase the force you exert is a kind of machine. Some machines, such as the prybar or the inclined plane, are very simple. Some machines do not even look like machines. For example, your car is stuck in the mud and you cant pull hard enough to get it out. You do, however, have a long cable that you connect taut between your front bumper and the trunk of a stout tree. You now pull sideways on the cable at its midpoint, exerting a force f. Each half of the cable is displaced through a small angle from the straight line between the ends of the cable. (a) Deduce an expression for the force acting on the car. (b) Evaluate the cable tension for the case where = 7.00 and f = 100 N.
A hockey stick pushes a 0.160-kg puck with constant force across the frictionless surface of an ice rink. During this motion, the pucks velocity changes from 4.00 m/s to (6.00 + 12.00) m/s in 4.00 s. a. What are the scalar components of the force acting on the puck? b. What is the magnitude of the force acting on the puck?
For t 0, an object of mass m experiences no force and moves in the positive x direction with a constant speed vi. Beginning at t = 0, when the object passes position x = 0, it experiences a net resistive force proportional to the square of its speed: Fnet=mkv2i, where k is a constant. The speed of the object after t = 0 is given by v = vi/(1 + kvit). (a) Find the position x of the object as a function of time. (b) Find the objects velocity as a function of position.
