A crate of mass m = 24 kg rides on the bed of a truck attached by a cord to the back of the cab as in the figure below. The cord can withstand a maximum tension of 64 N before breaking. Neglecting friction between the crate and truck bed, find the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the cord breaks. (Enter the magnitude of the maximum acceleration in the forward direction.) m/s?
Consider a person standing on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator accelerates upwards with an acceleration of 1.27 m/s2 and the person has a mass of 79.2 kg, what would the scale read? HINT: you need to take into account the acceleration due to gravity, as well as that of the elevator.

A husky is pulling a sled loaded with cargo (total mass m = 34 kg) along some snow, which has negligible friction. The rope that connects the husky to the sled makes an angle of θ = 21° above the horizontal. If the sled feels a normal force = 290 N, then what is the acceleration of the sled?
Consider two blocks connected . Block A has mass 2.00 kg, and block B has mass 5.00 kg. The table on which B sits is frictionless, the cord connecting the blocks is light and flexible, and the pulley is light and frictionless. The horizontal force F S has magnitude F = 20.0 N, and block B moves to the left with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2. What is the tension in the cord that connects the two blocks?
A person of weighing 0.83 kN rides in an elevator that has an upward acceleration of 0.8 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force of the elevator floor on the person, in newtons?
Two blocks are connected by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal (frictionless and massless) pulley such that one block with mass m1 = 13 kg is on a horizontal table and the other block with mass m2 = 7.5 kg hangs vertically. Both blocks experience gravity and the tension force, T. Use the coordinate system specified in the diagram. Under the same assumptions, write an expression for a2, the block of the mass m2 experiences in the y direction. Your answer should be in terms of the tension, T and m2 I have tried the following but they are incorrect: a2= (m2g-T)/m2 a2=g-(T/m2) a2=g-T/m2
A boxer's fist and glove have a mass of m = 1.04 kg. The boxer's fist can obtain a speed of v = 9.25 m/s in a time of t = 0.21 s. Write a symbolic expression for the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, of the boxer's fist, in terms of the variables provided. Find the magnitude of the average acceleration, aave, in meters per square second. Write an expression for the magnitude of the average net force, Fb, that the boxer must apply to his fist to achieve the given velocity. (Write the expression in terms of m, v and t.) What is the numerical value of Fb, in newtons?
Assume motion in one dimension. You want to determine the mass of an object, by applying a known force F to it and measuring the objects acceleration a. However, there is also an unknown resistive force -f acting on the object, so that the net force is Fnet = F - f. In addition, your force sensor drifts slightly, so that its readings are not very accurate. You therefore make 4 measurements. For F = 1, 2, 3, and 4 N you measure the accelerations 6.26, 12.21, 19.26, and 26.39 m/s². respectively. Enter these data into an Excel spreadsheet and produce a graph of F versus a. Add a trendline, and Choose "Linear", "Display equation on chart". Do NOT set the intercept equal to zero. Format the trendline label so that it shows 3 decimal places. Assume F f = ma, or F = ma + f. The y-intercept of the trendline represents the unknown resistive (frictional) force. What is the magnitude of this force in N? Enter a number with 3 digits behind the decinal point.

(enter as negative if downwards) (b) What acceleration must Superman give to Lois if he is to stop her before she hits the ground? (enter as negative if downwards) (c) Not forgetting that Lois also has weight, what force must Superman apply to stop her from hitting? (enter as negative if downwards)
