A car is sliding down a hill with a slope of 20°. The mass of the car is 965 kg. When a cable is used to pull the car up the slope, a force of 4215 N is applied. What is the car’s acceleration, ignoring friction?
Mary applies a force of 70 N to push a box with an acceleration of 0.60 m/s2. When she increases the pushing force to 82 N, the box's acceleration changes to 0.80 m/s2. There is a constant friction force present between the floor and the box.
What is the mass of the box in kilograms?
Weight can be measured as the downward force an object exerts due to its mass times the
gravitational pull of the Earth. A rock from the moon weighs 6.57 Newtons on Earth. How much did this
rock weigh on the moon? The moon has a gravitational acceleration of 1.622 m/s.
