Your little brother is playing with monkeys in a barrel. Monkey 1 is 40g, Monkey 2 is 30g, and Monkey 3 is 20g. Note that your brother is holding the monkeys still and his hand weighs 50 N. Use Newton’s 1st and 3rd laws to numerically determine all of the forces acting on the monkeys and the hand. If necessary, redraw your Force Diagrams, so they are more to scale.

Consider Newton's first law of motion to determine which of the following statements are true? List all that apply. Newton's first law of motion is applicable to both moving and nonmoving objects. If a football is moving upwards and rightwards towards the peak of its trajectory, then there are both rightwards and upwards forces acting upon it. It would take an unbalanced force to keep an object in motion. If an object is at rest, then there are no forces acting upon the object. It would take an unbalanced force to keep an object in motion at a constant velocity. It is the natural tendency of all objects to eventually come to a rest position. A pendulum bob is set into its usual back-and-forth periodic motion. After some time (perhaps 10 minutes), the pendulum bob comes to a rest position. This is best explained by the idea of inertia - all objects eventually resist motion. If a 3-kg rock is thrown at a speed of 2 m/s in a gravity-free environment (presuming one could be found), then…

See the picture below. A person to the left is pushing a car with a force FA=2,720 N while another person is pushing that car in the opposite direction with force FB=380 N. Additionally, the force of friction between the car's tires and road is 500 N. Find the acceleration of the car (in m/s2) assuming that the mass of the car is 3,700 kg. Provide your answer up to 3 significant figures in the decimal points e.g. 9.123
