APPLICATION OF NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION 1B

1.

A very thin boron rod with a cross-section of 0.10

mm x 0.10 mm can sustain a force of 57 N.
Assume the rod is used to pull a block along a
smooth horizontal surface.
(a) If the maximum force accelerates the block by 0.25
m/s2, find the mass of the block.
(b) If a frictional force of 24 N is applied in the direction
opposite the 57 N force, what would be the magnitude
of the blocks new acceleration?

3.

The largest squash ever grown had a mass of 409

kg. Suppose you want to push a squash with this
mass up smooth ramp that is 6.00 m long and
that makes a 30 degree angle with the horizontal.
If you push the squash with a force of 2080 N up
the incline, what is (a) the net external force (b)
the net acceleration of the squash? (c) the time
required for the squash to reach the top of the
ramp?

2.

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it

accelerates from 0 to 0.8 miles/hour in a distance
of 0.8 km. If the combined mass of the person and
the kayak is 8 kg, what is the magnitude of the
net force acting on the kayak?

4.

A tension of 6000 N is experienced by the

elevator cable of an elevator moving upwards
with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. What is the mass
of the elevator?
