Two horizontal forces, and F₂, are acting on a box, but only is shown in the drawing. F can point either to the right or to the left. The box moves only along the x axis. There is no friction between the box and the surface. Suppose that = +9.4 N and the mass of the bo is 3.6 kg. Find the magnitude and direction of F₂ when the acceleration of the box is (a) +5.1 m/s², (b) -5.1 m/s², and (c) 0 m/s². F₁ -+x

A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
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?
The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b. If the debris has a mass of 2549 kg, what is the net acceleration of the debris? FIGURE P5.25
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.)
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?
In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 10 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force F→ of magnitude 104 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
In the figure, a body with a mass of 2 kg moves under the influence of two constant forces F1 = 5N and F2 = 4N in the xy plane. At time t = 0, the object is at point 0 and its speed is V = 2i + j (m / s). What is the acceleration of the particle and its position after 2 seconds in terms of the unit vector?
A student of weight 651 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude of the normal force ?→?F→N on the student from the seat is 586 N.

Consider 2 forces acting on a mass of 2.37 kg. F1 = 10 N @ 19.3 degrees and F2 = 7.97 N @ 67.9 degrees where the angles are measured relative to the +x direction. What is the magnitude of the acceleration produced considering only these 2 forces acting?
An electron is a subatomic particle (m = 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +7.67 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 2.57 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0857 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: = 7.62 x 10-17 N, and , which points in the -x direction. Find the magnitudes of (a) the net force acting on the electron and (b) the electric force .
A person pulls at an angle of 0 = 34.0° on three connected crates of masses m¡ = 25.0 kg, m2 = 18.0 kg, and Pull m3 = 15.0 kg over a smooth horizontal floor, as shown in A В the figure. The crates are connected to each other by m, m, m3 identical massless, horizontal strings A and B, each of which can support a maximum tension of 45.0 N before breaking. What is the magnitude F, of the largest pulling force that can be exerted without breaking either of the strings?
Tarzan, who weighs 820 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 20.0 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 22.0 with the vertical. Assume that an x axis extends horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 760 N. Just then, what are (a) the force on him from the vine in unit-vector notation and the net force on him (b) in unit-vector notation and as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? What are the (e) magnitude and (f) angle of Tarzan’s acceleration just then?
