A block of mass m1= 10 kg is on a frictionless table to the left of a second block of mass m2 = 24 kg, attached by a horizontal string (Figure WU4.13). If a horizontal force of 120 N is exerted on the block m2in the positive x-direction, (a) use the system approach to find the acceleration of the two blocks. (b) What is the tension in the string connecting the blocks? (See Section 4.6.) Figure WU4.13
The engines in a supertanker carrying crude oil produce a net force of 20,000,000 N on the ship. If the resulting acceleration is 0. 1 m/s2, what is the ship’s mass?
When you take off in a jet aircraft, there is a sensation of being pushed back into the seat. Explain why you move backward in the seat—is there really a force backward on you? (The same reasoning explains whiplash injuries, in which the head is apparently thrown backward.)
A net force can produce ___. (3.3) (a) an acceleration (b) a change in velocity magnitude (c) a change in velocity direction (d) all of the preceding
An object of mass m = 5.00 kg, attached to a spring scale, rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P6.14. The spring scale, attached to the front end of a boxcar, reads zero when the car is at rest. (a) Determine the acceleration of the car if the spring scale has a constant reading of 18.0 N when the car is in motion. (b) What constant reading will the spring scale show if the car moves with constant velocity? Describe the forces on the object as observed (c) by someone in the car and (d) by someone at rest outside the car. Figure P6.14
A car accelerates down a hill (Fig. P5.95), going from rest to 30.0 m/s in 6.00 s. A toy inside the car hangs by a string from the car's ceiling. The ball in the figure represents the toy, of mass 0.100 kg. The acceleration is such that the string remains perpendicular to the ceiling. Determine (a) the angle 0 and (b) the tension in the string.
Two boxes with masses m1 = 4.00 kg and m2 = 10.0 kg are attached by a massless cord passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P5.79. The incline is frictionless, and = 30.0. a. Draw a free-body diagram for each of the boxes. b. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the boxes? c. What is the tension in the cord connecting the boxes? d. What is the speed of each of the boxes 3.00 s after the system is released from rest? FIGURE P5.79

A weight lifter stands on a bathroom scale. He pumps a barbell up and down. What happens to the reading on the scale as he does so? What If? What if he is strong enough to actually throw the barbell upward? How does the reading on the scale vary now?
A 6.0-kg object undergoes an acceleration of 2.0 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on it? (b) If this same force is applied to a 4.0-kg object, what acceleration is produced?
Assume the resistive force acting on a speed skater is proportional to the square of the skaters speed v and is given by f = kmv2, where k is a constant and m is the skaters mass. The skater crosses the finish line of a straight-line race with speed vi and then slows down by coasting on his skates. Show that the skaters speed at any time t after crossing the finish line is v(t) = vi/(1 + ktvi).
