*82. GO To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch of the tree. He then pulls downward on the free end of the rope with a force of 358 N. Neglect any friction between the rope and the branch, and determine the man's upward acceleration.

In a TV commercial pickup truck B of mass mB lifts large crate A of mass mA toawrd the top of a cliff by means of a cable and a frictionless pulley. The truck uses constant thrust force F to do the job and accerates forward starting from rest, There are no friction forces except the thrust force F. a) Determine a symbolic formula for the magnitude of the acceration experienced by the crate. The final formula should not include the unknown tension force. b) explain whether the cable tension must be greater than, equal to, or less than the crate weight. c) for mass mA= 1500 kg, mb=2800 kg, and F=18,000N, how far will the crate rise in the first 3.5 s of motion?
A composite object consists of 28 identical particles all accelerating at 185 m/s2. Calculate the acceleration of the composite object. Each particle requires force 21 Newtons. Calculate the total force required to accelerate the composite object (in Newtons)
2.00 kg and m2 = 1.00 kg are connected by a massless string passing over a massless and frictionless pulley.

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 965 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1016 N. The mass of the sky diver is 98.5 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?
A 2.80-kg object is moving in a plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 2t² - 4 and y = 2t³ + 3, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Find the magnitude of the net force acting on this object at t = 2.45 s. 33 X If you know the position of an object as a function of time, you can calculate the acceleration as a function of time using calculus methods.

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm. Part A A 65 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 13 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
