A student’s backpack, full of textbooks, is hung from a spring scale attached to the ceiling of an elevator. When the elevator is accelerating downward at 3.8m/s2 , the scale reads 60 N. (a) What Is the mass of the backpack? (b) What does the scale read if the elevator moves upward while speeding up at a rate 3.8m/s2 ? (c) What does the scale read if the elevator moves upward at constant velocity? (d) If the elevator had no brakes and the cable supporting it were to break loose so that the elevator could fall freely, what would the spring scale read?
A 5.00105 -kg rocket is accelerating straight up. Its engines produce 1.250107 N of thrust, and air resistance is 4.50106 N. What is the rocket's acceleration? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.
(a) A cat with a mass of 850 kg in moving to the right with a constant speed of 1.44 m/s. What is the total force on the cat ? (b) What is the total force on the cat if it is moving to the left?
A force of 1600 N acts parallel to a ramp to push a 300-kg piano into a moving van. The ramp is inclined at 20 . (a) What is the acceleration of the piano up the ramp? (b) What is the velocity of the piano when it reaches the top if the ramp is 4.0 m long and the piano starts from rest?
A race car is moving around a circular track at a constant speed of 65 m/s. It continues moving in this manner at this speed for 15 minutes. During this time, what is the direction of the net force exerted on the race car?
A freight train consists of two 8.00105kgengines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50105kg . (a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.0010-2m/s2if the force of friction is 7.50105Nassuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently, trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems. (b) What is the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?
A roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a track 30.0 m long and inclined at 20.0to the horizontal. Assume that friction can be ignored. (a) What is the acceleration of the car? (b) How much time elapses before it reaches the bottom of the track?

A child tosses a ball straight up. She says that the ball is moving away from her hand because the ball feels an upward force of the throw as well as the gravitational force. (a) Can the force of the throw exceed the gravitational force? How would the ball move if it did? (b) Can the force of the throw be equal in magnitude to the gravitational force? Explain. (c) What strength can accurately be attributed to the force of the throw? Explain. (d) Why does the ball move away from the childs hand?
Review. A student, along with her backpack on the floor next to her, is in an elevator that is accelerating upward with acceleration a. The student gives her backpack a quick kick at t = 0, imparting to it speed v and causing it to slide across the elevator floor. At time t, the backpack hits the opposite wall a distance L away from the student. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction k between the backpack and the elevator floor.
A 7.0-N force parallel to an incline is applied to a 1.0-kg crate. The ramp is tilted at 20 and is frictionless. (a) What Is the acceleration of the crate? (b) If all other conditions are the same but the ramp has a friction force of 1.9 N, what is the acceleration?
