A force F1, of magnitude 6.00 units acts on an object at the origin in a direction = 30.0 above the positive x-axis (Fig. P3.8). A second force F2 of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the object in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force F1 + F2?. Figure P3.8
A 75 kg skier was pushed up a slope of 21.0 degrees west with an inititial velocity of 4.0 m/s. After the inital push, it is not pushed further with the up-slope force. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the skis and the snow is 0.14 and the static coefficient is 0.19. a) What is the acceleration (deceleration) of the skier after the push? b) If his initial velocity was 4.0 m/s, how far up the slope will he move before he stops?
Two blocks are sliding down a 30◦ incline. The first block is 2 kg and has a kinetic friction coefficient of .10. The second block - which is connected to the first block by a rope - is 1 kg with a kinetic friction coefficient of .20. What is the tension in the string?
A 129 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the horizontal.

The coefficient of static friction between the tires of a car and a horizontal road is 0.2. If the net force on the car is the force of static friction exerted by the road, what is the maximum acceleration of the car when it is braked? The acceleration clue to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 . Answer in units of m/s^2. What is the shortest distance in which the car can stop if it is initially traveling at 30 m/s? Answer in units of m.
Only two horizontal forces act on a 3.0 kg body that can move over a frictionless floor. One force is 9.0 N, acting due east, and the other is 6.4 N, acting 51° north of west. What is the magnitude of the body's acceleration? m/s?
Each of the three barges has a mass of 30 Mg, whereas the tugboat has a mass of 12 Mg. As the barges are being pulled forward with a constant velocity of 4 m/s, the tugboat must overcome the frictional resistance of the water, which is 2 kN for each barge and 1.5 kN for the tugboat. If the cable between A and B breaks, determine the acceleration in m/s? of the tugboat. 4 m/s А В 2 kN 2 kN 2 kN 1.5 kN
