Which of the following statements are true? (a) An object can move even when no force acts on it. (b) If an object isn't moving, no external forces act on it. (c) If a single force acts on an object, the object accelerates. (d) If an object accelerates, at least one force is acting on it. (e) If an object isn't accelerating, no external force is acting on it. (f) If the net force acting on an object is in the positive x-direction, the object moves only in the positive x-direction.
In a tractor pull, four tractors are connected by strong chains to a heavy load. The load is initially at rest. Tractors A and B pull with forces of 5000 N [E] and 4000 N [E] respectively. Tractors C and D pull with forces of 4500 N [W] and 3500 N [W] respectively. The magnitudeof the force of friction exerted by the ground on the load is 1000 N.  (a) Starting with a free-body diagram, calculate the net force on the load. (b) If the load is initially at rest, will it start moving? Explain.
A 1 000-kg car is pulling a 300-kg trailer. Together, the car and trailer have an acceleration of 2.15 m/s2 in the positive x-direction. Neglecting frictional forces on the trailer, determine (a) the net force on the car, (b) the net force on the trailer, (c) the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the trailer on the car, and (d) the resultant force exerted by the car on the road.
