What force does a trampoline have to apply to a 45.0-kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 7.50 m/s2? Note that the answer is independent of the velocity of the gymnast—she can be moving either up or down, or be stationary.
The force on a baseball as with a bat can be more than 8,000 lb. No human can push on a bat with that much force. What is happening in this instance?
The wheels of a midsize car exert a force of 2100 N backward on the road to accelerate the car in the forward direction. If the force of friction including air resistance is 250 N and the acceleration of the car is 1.80 m/s2, what is the mass of the car plus its occupants? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion. For this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
A person holds a ball in her hand, (a) Identify all the external forces acting on the ball and the Newton's third-law reaction force to each one. (b) If the ball is dropped, what force is exerted on it while it is falling? Identify the reaction force in this case. (Ignore air resistance.)
Two forces are applied to a car in an effort to move it, as shown in Figure P4.12. (a) What is the resultant vector of these two forces? (b) If the car has a mass of 3 000 kg, what acceleration does it have? Ignore friction. Figure P4.12
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 1100-kg car pulls a boat on a trailer. (a) What total force resists the motion of the car, boat, and trailer, if the car exerts a 1900-N force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.550 m/s2? The mass of the boat plus trailer is 700 kg. (b) What is the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer if 80% of the resisting forces are experienced by the boat and trailer?
Two monkeys are holding onto a single vine of negligible mass that hangs vertically from a tree, with one monkey a few meters higher than the other. The upper monkey has mass 20.0 kg and the lower monkey mass 10.0 kg. What is the ratio of the tension in the vine above the upper monkey to the tension in the vine between the two monkeys? (Sec Section 4.5.)
The rocket sled shown in Figure 4.33 accelerates at a rate of 49.0 m/s2. Its passenger has a mass of 75.0 kg. (a) Calculate the horizontal component of the force the seat exerts against his body. Compare this with his weight by using a ratio. (b) Calculate the direction and magnitude of the total force the seat exerts against his body.
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

A block of mass 3m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface, and a second block of mass m is placed on top of the first block. The surfaces of the blocks are rough. A constant force of magnitude F is applied to the first block as in Figure P4.68. (a) Construct free-body diagrams for each block. (b) Identify the horizontal force that causes the block of mass m to accelerate. (c) Assume that the upper block does not slip on the lower block, and find the acceleration of each block in terms of m and F. Figure P4.68
