Problems:
1. A block with a mass of 20.0 kg is pulled by a rope with a force of 8.00 N. What
acceleration (in m/s-) does the block experience?
2. A boulder has a mass of 30 kg. When it falls from its precarious position on a cliff edge, it
accelerates at 9.8 m/s. What is the magnitude (size) of the force (in N) exerted by the Earth
on the boulder through gravity?
3. A child weighs 300 N. Express this child's mass in kg.
4. The mass of a subway car with all of its passengers is 40,000 kg. It leaves the station with
an acceleration of 0.9 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net force on the car (in N)?
5. A child's model boat, when placed in a creek, accelerates from rest at 1.4 m/s. If the river
is exerting a force of 0.70N on the boat, what is the mass of the boat (in kg)?
6. Aircraft carriers use catapults to launch jets from their deck. One such catapult accelerates a
18,000 kg aircraft from rest to 70 m/s in 2.5 s. What is the magnitude of the force (in N)
required to do this?
7. At the end of a roller coaster ride, the cars must slow to a stop, but the magnitude of the
acceleration cannot exceed 1.5 g's. Given a car with a mass of 2,000 kg (including the
passengers), what is the magnitude of the maximum allowable force (in N)?
8. The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 900
kg and the car is moving 35.0 m/s, what magnitude force (in N) is necessary to stop the car
in a distance of 1,000 m? (Note: First, find the acceleration of the car using Unit One
material, then use this to compute the force. Since the question asks for the magnitude,
input a positive answer.)
