NIM.8 A 1500-kg car traveling at a steady speed of 20 m/s (about 44 mi/h) initially due northwest rounds a corner so that after 10 s, it is traveling due northeast. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force that must be act- ing on the car at the instant it is traveling due north? (Hint: It really helps if you draw a picture.)

A 0.160 kg hockey puck is moving on an icy, frictionless, horizontal surface. At t = 0, the puck is moving to the right at 3.00 m/s. (a) Calculate the velocity of the puck (magnitude and direction) after a force of 25.0 N directed to the right has been applied for 0.050 s. (b) If, instead, a force of 12.0 N directed to the left is applied from t = 0 to t = 0.050 s, what is the final velocity of the puck?
Two constant forces of magnitudes F1 and F2, act on a particle of mass 5.00 [kg] which is at rest at the origin. The force F1 points at 14.5° west of north, while the force F2, points at 58.3° west of south. Due to the two forces, the particle accelerates and is later located at 32.4 [m], 17.0° north of west with speed 12.2 [m/s]. What is F1?
