Pictured is a car towing a trailer using a regular rope rather than the more common (and sensible) trailer hitch. When discussing a particular body, the action forces are defined as those forces that directly affect the acceleration of that body. With this in mind, classify the forces acting on each object according to whether they are action forces or reaction forces. To simplify matters, ignore the friction acting on the front tires of the car. Be sure to answer both parts of the question.

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/s, 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.

Consider two peoplepushing a toboggan with four children on it up a snowcovered slope. Construct a problem in which you calculatethe acceleration of the toboggan and its load. Include a freebody diagram of the appropriate system of interest as thebasis for your analysis. Show vector forces and theircomponents and explain the choice of coordinates.

Answer in full solution and with explaination 1. A book is pulled to the right at a constant velocity by a 10 N force acting 30° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the horizontal surface is 0.5. What is the weight of the book? What is the normal force?
What is the correct free body diagram for the system and what is the rank of the forces from largest to smallest?
In most of the problems you have dealt with so far, weight is equal in magnitude to that of the normal force. Is it possible for the normal force not to be equal to weight? Explain your answer. Yes, it is possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a horizontal surface and the force is exerted on the direction of the gravitational field. Otherwise, as in the case of an elevator accelerating downwards, N and W will not equalize. Yes, it is possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a vertical surface and the force is exerted on the direction of the gravitational field. Otherwise, as in the case of an elevator accelerating downwards, N and W will not equalize. No, it is not possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal.
