A truck collides with a car, and during the collision, the net force on each vehicle is essentially the force exerted by the other. Suppose the mass of the car is 850 kg, the mass of the truck is 2,750 kg, and the magnitude of the truck's acceleration is 14 m/s2. Find the magnitude of the car's acceleration (in m/s2).

An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it . F1, F2, and F3 are shown in the figure. Assume the x-direction is to the right, and the y-direction is straight upwards. Let F1 = 7 N, F2 = 9 N, and F3 = 2 N. What is the magnitude a of the acceleration in meters per second squared, if the object has a mass of 7.9 kg?
As you will see in a later chapter, forces are vector quantities, and the total force on an object is the vector sum of all forces acting on it. In the figure below, a force F, of magnitude 6.70 units acts on a crate at the origin in a direction 0 = 26.0° above the positive x-axis. A second force F, of magnitude 5.00 units acts on the crate in the direction of the positive y-axis. Find graphically the magnitude and direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the resultant force F, + F,. magnitude units direction Counterciockwise from the +x-axis

Just like Louis, Maria left a book on the roof of her car before driving away. The mass of the book was 731 grams. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the roof was 0.29. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the roof was 0.24. Maria started her car and drove forward on level ground with an acceleration of 3.5 m/s?. As Maria was driving away with that acceleration, what was the magnitude of the force of friction (in newtons) between the book and the roof of the car?
A standard object defined as having a mass of exactly 4.6 kg is given an acceleration of 2.4169 m/s2 when a certain force is applied to it. A second object of unknown mass acquires an acceleration of 1.0268 m/s2 when the same force is applied to it. what is the mass of the second object? Answer in units of kg
An object of mass m has these three forces acting on it . F1, F2, and F3 are shown in the figure. Assume the x-direction is to the right, and the y-direction is straight upwards. Let F1 = 7 N, F2 = 9 N, and F3 = 2 N. What is the direction of the net force, expressed as the angle θ, in degrees, that the net force vector makes with respect to the +x-axis?

I forgot my car in a no - parking zone. A tow truck pulled it away. The truck exerted a force of 4000 N on my car. There was friction between the car’s tires and the ground, and the force of friction was 600 N. My car was moving with an acceleration of 2 m/s2. What is the mass of my car? Write the solution to this question showing all the steps. Do not forget the units on your final answer.
