An object of mass m = 1.00 kg is observed to have an acceleration a with a magnitude of 10.0 m/s2 in a direction 60.0 east of north. Figure P4.29 shows a view of the object from above. The force F2 acting on the object has a magnitude of 5.00 N and is directed north. Determine the magnitude and direction of the one other horizontal force F1 acting on the object. Figure P4.29
(a) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the strong nuclear force? (b) What is the strength of the weak nuclear force relative to the electromagnetic force? Since the weak nuclear force acts at only very short distances, such as inside nuclei, where the strong and electromagnetic forces also act, it might seem surprising that we have any knowledge of it at all. We have such knowledge because the weak nuclear force is responsible for beta decay, a type of nuclear decay not explained by other forces.
The starship Enterprise has its tractor beam locked onto some valuable debris and is trying to pull it toward the ship. A Klingon battle cruiser and a Romulan warbird are also trying to recover the item by pulling the debris with their tractor beams as shown in Figure P5.25. a. Given the following magnitudes of the tractor beam forces, find the net force experienced by the debris: FEnt = 7.59 106 N, FRom = 2.53 106 N, and FKling = 8.97 105 N. b. If the debris has a mass of 2549 kg, what is the net acceleration of the debris? FIGURE P5.25

(a) The force that the ball exerts on Earth is equal in magnitude to the force that Earth exerts on the ball, (b) The ball undergoes the same acceleration as Earth. (c) The magnitude of the force the Earth exerts on the ball is greater than the magnitude of the force the ball exerts on the Earth.
A 8.0 x 10 kg spaceship is at rest in deep space. Its thrusters provide a force of 1200 kN. The spaceship fires its thrusters for 20 s, then coasts for 19 km. How long does it take the spaceship to coast this distance? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Δt = |40 μA S 2 ?
true or false? A crate experiences a force to the left in deep space (there's no air resistance or gravitational bodies near it), the crate will move to the left indefinitely.
An airplane slows to a stop as it moves along the runway. Its mass is 3.50 x 105 kg, its speed is 75.0 m/s at the instant the plane lands on the runway and the force to slow the airplane is 7.25 x 105 N. a) What is its speed 10.0 seconds after the plane lands on the runway? b) How far has it traveled in this time?
A car is moving along a frictionless surface with a speed of 2 m/s to the left. You and your friend each come over and push the car at the same time. You exert a force of 6 N to the left, while your friend exerts a force of 6 N to the right. According to Newton’s first law, how will this action affect the car’s motion? The car will speed up because your force is in the same direction of the car’s motion, making it speed up. The car will stop immediately because two balanced forces will cause an object to stop moving. The car will continue to move 2 m/s to the left because there are balanced forces acting on it. The car will continue moving to the left but at a slower speed because your friend’s force is going to make the car slow down.
A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.32 × 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground exerts a force of 1.20 x 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude (in m/s2) of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.0 x 10-7 wind points to the right. We will consider this to be the +x direction and vertical to be the ty kg. (Let us assume that F direction.) magnitude direction m/s² ° (measured clockwise from the vertical)
