A 1.9 kg otter starts from rest at the top of a
muddy incline 84.1 cm long and slides down
to the bottom in 0.60 s. What net external
force acts on the otter along the incline?
Answer in units of N.
A net force of 20 N is acting on a falling object. The object experiences air resistance of 6.0 N. If acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 what is the mass of the object?
A 39.0 N force pulls horizontally on a m1 = 1.3 kg block that slides on a rough horizontal surface. This block is connected by a horizontal string to a second block of mass m2 = 2.7 kg on the same surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24 for both blocks.
What is the tension in the string?
