100. mmh The speed of a bobsled is increasing because it has an accel- eration of 2.4 m/s². At a given instant in time, the forces resisting the motion, including kinetic friction and air resistance, total 450 N. The combined mass of the bobsled and its riders is 270 kg. (a) What is the magnitude of the force propelling the bobsled forward? (b) What is the magnitude of the net force that acts on the bobsled?

Suppose the force of air resistance is proportional to the speed of the object and in the direction opposite the object's velocity. If you throw an object upward, when is the magnitude of the object's acceleration highest? A. It is highest at the top of its trajectory. B The acceleration of the object is the same throughout the entire trajectory. No answer text provided. It is highest right after the object is released.
A 30 kg cannonball is shot at a sailing ship. When it hits the wooden sides of the ship, it just barely punches through the wooden hull, applying a 200 000 N force to the ship the whole time it was stopping. → If the cannonball was originally travelling at 300m/s, how long would it take to completely stop in the hull of the ship assuming constant acceleration.
