The x and y coordinates of a 4.00-kg particle moving in the xy plane under the influence of a net force F are given by x = t4 6t and y = 4t2 + 1, with x and y in meters and t in seconds. What is the magnitude of the force F at t = 4.00 s?
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?
As a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 17.0 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.45 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.N
Suppose the ski patrol lowers a rescue sled and victim, having a total mass of 92.9 kg, down a theta= 79.4º slope at constant acceleration a=-1.7 m/s2, as shown in Figure (here we assume the positive direction is going down the slope. So the given acceleration is a negative value, it means its direction is going up the slope, slowing down as it moving downward). So The coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is 0.100. How many Joules of work is done by the tension in the rope as the sled moves 9.1 m along the hill? Use g= 10 m/s2. Your answer for this problem maybe some large number. Just put in the raw number as your answer. For example, 34567.11. But remember you have to specify if the work is positive or negative, if it is negative, you need to input, for example, -34567.11
A baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 21.5 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 2.00 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.250 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed. (Report answer to 3SF; unit: N)
A person with a mass of 80kg while dressed in a jump suit jumps from a plane while parachuting.They eventually reach a terminal speed of 60m/s. If you assume g = 10ms2 , = 1:21 kg m3 , what is the value of the product of constants cdA?
There are two forces on the 2.00 kg box in the overhead view of but only one is shown. For F1 = 20.0N,a =12.0 m/s^2and θ= 30.0 degree find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis.

Paleontologists estimate that if a Tyrannosaurus rex had tripped and fallen, the ground would have exerted anormal force of approximately 260,000 N on its torso as it landed.Assuming the torso has a mass of 3800 kg, (a) find the magnitudeof the torso’s upward acceleration as it comes to rest. (For comparison, humans lose consciousness with an acceleration of about 7g.)(b) Assuming the torso of a T. rex is in free fall for a distance of 1.46m as it falls to the ground, how much time is required for the torsoto come to rest once it contacts the ground?
When landing from a jump, Andy applied an average vertical force of -2500 N to the ground in order to slow down the vertical velocity of his center of gravity. What was the average acceleration of his center of gravity in the vertical direction once ground contact was made? (weight = -760 N; mass = 77.5 kg)
A bicyclist can coast down a 6.17 degree hill at a constant speed of 6.64 km/h. If the force of air resistance is proportional to the speed vso that Fair = c v, calculate the average force (in N) that must be applied in order to descend the hill at 13.0 km/h. The mass of the cyclist plus bicycle is 77.8 kg.
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.)
