A force F1 of magnitude 6.00 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction = 30.0 above the positive x axis (Fig. P3.7). A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force F1+F2. Figure P3.7
In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 10 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force F→ of magnitude 104 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?

An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +7.67 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 2.57 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0857 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: = 7.62 x 10-17 N, and , which points in the -x direction. Find the magnitudes of (a) the net force acting on the electron and (b) the electric force .
