Question
1. A certain force accelerates a 3.2 kg mass by 2.4 m/s2. What would be the
acceleration of 1.6 kg mass when the same force acts on it?
2. Which has more mass: a kilogram of cotton balls or a kilogram of gold?
3. A 63.0-kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20 m/s2. What is the net external
force on him?
4. A cleaner pushes a 4.50-kg laundry cart in such a way that the net external force on it is
60.0 N. Calculate the magnitude of its acceleration.
5. A soccer player starts from rest and accelerates forward, reaching a velocity of 8.00 m/s in
2.50 s.
(a) What was his average acceleration?
(b) What average force did he exert backward on the ground to achieve this acceleration? The
player's mass is 70.0 kg, and air resistance is negligible.
