An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it . F1, F2, and F3 are shown in the figure. Assume the x-direction is to the right, and the y-direction is straight upwards.
Let F1 = 7 N, F2 = 9 N, and F3 = 2 N.
What is the magnitude a of the acceleration in meters per second squared, if the object has a mass of 7.9 kg?
A block with a mass of m=21 kg rests on a frictionless surface and is subject to two forces acting on it. The first force is directed in the negative x direction with a magnitude of F1. The second has a magnitude of F2 and acts on the body at an angle 0=18 degrees measured from horizontal. Write an expression for the magnitude of the normal force, FN acting on the block, in terms if F2 and the other variables of the problem. Assume that the surface it rests on is rigid.
The two forces change such that F1=8.5N and F2=19N. Based on this change, the block may no longer be in static equilibrium. Find the blocks acceleration in the x direction, ax, in meters per second squared.
In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from
rest to 38.6 m/s in a time of 6.34 s. The mass of the car and riders is 7.78 × 103 kg. Find the average net force exerted on
the car and riders by the magnets.
