Two forces act on a 4.25 kg object, the gravitational force and a second, constant force. The object starts from rest and in 1.20 s is displaced (4.40î − 3.30ĵ) m. Write the second force in unit vector notation. (Enter your answer in kg · m/s2. Assume the gravitational force acts in the −ĵ direction.)
A dancer is standing on one leg on a drawbridge that is about to open. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drawbridge and the dancer's foot are μs and μk, respectively. n⃗ represents the normal force exerted on the dancer by the bridge, and F⃗g represents the gravitational force exerted on the dancer, as shown in the drawing.(Figure 1). For all the questions, we can assume that the bridge is a perfectly flat surface and lacks the curvature characteristic of most bridges. Before the drawbridge starts to open, it is perfectly level with the ground. The dancer is standing still on one leg. What is the horizontal component of the friction force f⃗? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables n, μs, and/or μk.) (Figure 2). The drawbridge then starts to rise. The dancer continues to stand on one leg. The drawbridge stops just at the point where the dancer is on the verge of slipping. What is the magnitude f of the frictional force now? (Express…
A decoration hangs at rest on a string. A second, horizontal string is knotted to the first, pulling it to the right. The top section of the first string is at an angle of 25° to the vertical.

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.

Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal (frictionless and massless) pulley such that one block with mass m1 = 12 kg is on a horizontal, frictionless table and the other block with mass m2 = 7.5 kg hangs vertically. Both blocks experience gravity and the tension force, T. Use the coordinate system specified in the diagram. Solve for the magnitude of the acceleration, a1, of the block of mass m1, in meters per square second. Find the magnitude of the tension in the rope, T, in newtons.
