Analyzing Forces: Using Newton's 2nd Law A fireman has a mass of 75 kg. When the bell in the firehouse starts ringing, he slides down the pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s². What is the total force of friction acting on his body? 1. Identify the problem: What quantity are you being asked to find? What units will this answer be in?. 2. Visualize and then sketch the problem. Draw arrows to illustrate the direction of the two forces acting on the fireman. Label these two forces by name. Do not use numbers yet. 3. These two forces act in opposite (+/-) directions and they will partially cancel. Assign the value to the stronger force. The sum of these two forces is called the Net Force and it is the force which will actually move the fireman. Fill in the names of these two forces in the equation template below. (Hint: Remember that mass and weight are not the same.) Do not use numerical values yet: Net Force = + 4. Newton's 2nd Law gives us another equation for calculating Net Force: Net Force = You know these values. Use them to solve for Net Force (show calculation): Net Force = 5. Study these two equations and use them to solve for the force of friction acting on the fireman. Show calculations:

I need help with this problem: A. Calculate the magnitude of the total force. B. When the fourth force is applied to the mass, it is observed that the velocity of the mass stops changing and remains constant. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the fourth force? I've tried adding up all of the velocitys and found Vtotal = 111.8 N with a direction of 26.5 deg. Which is incorrect. Below is the graph we are given.

This force is just great enough to hold the object in place (to prevent it from sliding down the wall). If the coefficient of static friction between the object and the wall is μ = 0.27, then find the applied force. Pigshow.jpeg DPig show.jpeg B MacBook Pro
This is an F=ma questions. Remember that force and acceleration are vectors. (That's what the boldface font means.) 1) A 14kg object accelerates at (2,4) m/s2.

Please solve for items c and d In the future, we may encounter a civilization from another planet. They will not use the SI or AE systems of units. Suppose we meet aliens who use the Zerf as a unit of mass and the Spund as a unit of force. One Spund is the weight of a mass of one Zerf on the surface of Mars. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s2.a. What is gc in the alien system of units? Be sure to include the numerical value and the units.b.
