The mass of a subway car and passengers is 34,500 kg. If its acceleration as it leaves a station is 0.6 m/s2, what is the net force (in N) acting on it? I am not sure the formula for this
At a given instant in time, an 8-kg rock that has been dropped from a high cliff experiences an upward force of air
resistance of 12 N.
What is the gravitational force on the rock? Use g= 9.8 m/s2. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.)
The gravitational force on the rock is
N.
A helicopter is built to withstand a maximum acceleration of 8 g. If its mass is 1,588
kg, what force (in N) would cause this acceleration?
