- The force exerted by the car on you.
- The friction force exerted by the car on the road.
- The normal force exerted by the road on you.
- The friction force exerted by the road on you.

Starting from rest, there are exactly six constant forces acting on a space drone:
A 15 N force in the positive x direction.A 45 N force in the negative x direction.A 20 N force in the negative y direction.A 20 N force in the positive y direction.A 30 N force in the positive x direction.A 20 N force in the positive y direction.
i) What is the direction of the net force being applied to it?
A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant speed "v0". The constant horizontal force applied by the woman:
has the same magnitude as the weight of the box.
is greater than the weight of the box.
has the same magnitude as the total force which resists the motion of the box.
is greater than the total force which resists the motion of the box.
is greater than either the weight of the box or the total force which resists its motion.
If the woman in the previous question doubles the constant horizontal force that she exerts on the box to push it on the same horizontal floor, the box then moves:
with a constant speed that is double the speed "v0" in the previous question.
with a constant speed that is greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, but not necessarily twice as great.
for a while with a speed that is constant and greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, then with a speed…

If there is enough friction between the object and the surface of the slope, it might not go anywhere. This can be important when figuring out what kind of tires you need so you don't slip on an icy hill! Whether there is friction or not, it is useful to be able to write the gravitational force acting on the object as the sum of two perpendicular vectors: one parallel to the surface of the slope, and one perpendicular to the surface of the slope. For this series of questions, suppose the inclined slope is fixed at an angle of 30° and the object has a mass of 3 kg, as shown in the diagram. 30° 3 kg. a) Gravitational force has a magnitude equal to an object's mass times acceleration due to gravity, and a direction of "straight down."
