Two students push on the opposite sides of a crate, with the force applied by each student in newtons (N), as shown in the diagram. 40 N- 53 N Assuming the crate is on a frictionless surface, describe the effect of these forces on the crate. • Will the crate move toward the left, toward the right, or not at all? • What is the direction and the magnitude of the net force on the crate?

The contestant now pulls the block of ice with a rope over his shoulder at the same angle above the horizontal as shown below. Calculate the minimum force Fhe must exert to get the block moving. (b) What is its acceleration once it starts to move, if that force is maintained?
If two tugboats pull on a disabled vessel, as shown here in an overhead view, the disabled vessel will be pulled along the direction indicated by the result of the exerted forces. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the vessel. Assume no friction or drag forces affect the vessel. (b) Did you include all forces in the overhead view in your free-body diagram? Why or why not?
Imagine a person kayaking across a lake . Can you name a force pair at work? Also explain which one of Newton's Laws this describes.
Three blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the right with acceleration of 10 m/s2. Let's assume there is no friction between the blocks and the ground. The mass of A, B, and C are 12.300, 89.200, and 154.100 kg, respectively. What is the force applied on block C by block B (in unit of N)?
Consider a cart moving along a horizontal table at constantacceleration. On your own, sketch below the forces you believe are acting on the cart at threedifferent time s. Be sure to indicate the relative size of those forces by the relative sizes of yourdrawn vectors. (Assume no friction.)
Three blocks A, B, and C stand next to each other as shown in the figure. A force F with magnitude 137.1 N is applied to push block C directly and sends the blocks accelerating to the right. Let's assume there is no friction between the blocks and the ground. The mass of A, B, and C are 9.1, 46.6, and 84.3 kg, respectively. What is the force applied on block B by block A (in unit of N)?
The diagram shows overhead views of four situations in which forces act on a block that slides on a frictionless ice surface. In which situations would it be possible for the block to move along the floor with a constant velocity? (Assume the magnitudes of the forces can be adjusted slightly). I do not understand this at all. I know gravitational force is downwards, and frictional force is opposing the pushing force, but how do I solve this?
Assume the ramp in the figure below is frictionless. If the blocks are released from rest, does the 10 kg block slide up the ramp or down the ramp? What is the magnitude of its acceleration? (Remember that you do not need to use the same coordinate system for both free-body diagrams.)

Two boxes are connected by a massless string across a massless frictionless pulley. Box S has a mass M and box H has a mass m as shown. a) Do a free-body diagram for these objects. b) Write Newton's Second Law equation for these objects, horizontal component only for box S and vertical component only for box H. c) Solve algebraically for the acceleration of the boxes. d) Given M=8.4 kg and m=5.7 kg, use your equation from part c) to find the value of the acceleration. e) Use this answer to find the tension in the string.

The first child exters a force of 75N, the second a force of 98N, kinetic friction is 5.5N and the mass of the third child pus the sled is 21kg.Using a coordinate system where the second child is pushing in the postive direction, calculate the accelteration in m/s2.
