An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (see figure below), Nick pulls on the loose enc of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 310 N. Nick's true weight is 310 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick's feet are not touching the ground. Use g=9.8 m/s². (b) Find Nick's acceleration, using upward as positive. m/s² (c) Find the magnitude of the force Nick exerts on the chair. (d*) Instead Nick hands the rope with the scale to his friend Barney, who stands on the ground. Barney pulls on the rope so that the spring scale again reads 310 N. What is Nick's acceleration now, again using upward as positive.
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
A cart with mass 15.0 kg moves in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. Take this surface to be along the x-axis. The cart has an initial speed of 8.00 m/s and it was pushed 5.00 m in the same direction as the initial velocity by an external force with a magnitude of 20.0 N. What is the cart's final speed?
Sam, whose mass is 74.0 kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 220.0 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction wtih the snow of 0.07. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 11.5 seconds. What Sam's top speed (in m/s) assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2? How far (in m) has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?
Two constant forces act on a 5.00-kg object moving in the xy-plane, as shown in the figure below, Force F, is 25.0 N at 0 = 37.0° from x-axis, while F = 40.0 N at o = 37.0º from y-axis. At time t = 0, the object is at the origin and has velocity v, (4.0i + 2.5j) m/s. Using the unit-vector notation (a) Find the total force on the object and its acceleration, (b) What is the object's velocity at the instant t = 3.00 s?, (e) What is its location at time t = 3.0 s?, (f) What is its kinetic energy at this moment?, and (g) How much work is done by the total force in this time? y F2 F1 m

A woman pulls a sled with her son (total mass of 80 kg) with a force of 18O N angled at 20° from the horizontal. The woman is able to move the sled 5 m along the horizontal. What is the sled's velocity after it has moved 5 m, assuming that it started from rest and there is no friction?
Carol wants to move her 32kg sofa to a different room in the house. She places "sofa disks", slippery disks with mu k =.080 , on the carpet, under the feet of the sofa. She then pushes the sofa at a steady.4 .4 m/s across the floor. How much force does she apply to the sofa?
a mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 kph on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the morher observes that they are approaching a steep descrnt. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 15 N. Knowing the coefficient of frivtion between the mother and the ground is 0.2, the mass of the mother is 62 kg and the angle of the rope does not change, determine the acceleration of the mother, the time reuired dor the mother's speed to be cut in half, and the distance traveled.
A stray dog catcher drives 34km east, picks up some dogs, then drives 10km west to drop them off before continuing east for 21km. 30N of force is being applied constantly parallel to the dog catcher's motion. Solve for the work the dog catcher has accomplished.
