A 781 N sprinter can push his feet back against the starting blocks with a force of 1852 N in the horizontal direction. If the force is generated for 0.28 s, determine the horizontal velocity of the runner out of the blocks. Include magnitude and direction when reporting vectors.
A bullet shot from a rifle has mass of 10.0 g and travels to the right at 350 m/s. It strikes a target, a large bag of sand, penetrating it a distance of 34.0 cm. Find the magnitude and direction of the retarding force that slows and stops the bullet.
Billie Budten and Mia Neezhirt are having an intense argument at the lunch table. They are adding two force vectors together to determine the resultant force. The magnitude of the two forces are 3 N and 4 N. Billie is arguing that the sum of the two forces is 7 N. Mia argues that the two forces add together to equal 5 N. Who is right? Explain.
