A 1100-kg car pulls a boat on a trailer. (Enter the magnitudes.) (a) What total force resists the motion of the car, boat, and trailer, if the car exerts a 1930-N force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.530 m/s2? The mass of the boat plus trailer is 600 kg. N (b) What is the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer if 80% of the resisting forces are experienced by the boat and trailer?

An object is being acted upon by three forces and moves with constant velocity. One force is 65 N along the x-axis. The second is 80N along the y axis. What is the magnitude of the third force? Answer: N.
you are driving down the road and are speeding. You apply the brakes on your car until you slow down to 22.4 m/s. A computer plots the force versus time for the vehichle and then measures the area under the curve. The area is -18950 N per s. The total breaking is 5.4 seconds. The combined mass of the car is 1200 kg. How fast were you moving before applying the breaks? What is the average force applied by the road to thr car before breaking?
A 10 kg box experiences a force of 15 Newtons in the positive x-direction and 8 Newtons in the negative y-direction. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the box? Answer in Newtons.
A student pushes a 20kg desk across the floor to the right with a force of 400 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the desk is equal to 0.21. Calculate the acceleration of the desk.
A horizontal force of 734 N is needed to overcome the force of static friction between a level floor and a 132 kg crate. What is the acceleration of the crate if the 734 N force is maintained after the crate begins to move and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.07?
While two forces act on it, a particle is to move at the constant velocity = (3.58 m/s) -(-3.26 m/s). One of the forces is F1 = (1.88 N) + (-5.85 N). What is the other force? Number i + i j Units
Following the collision with a tree, the car rapidly decelerates and comes to a full stop in 0.26 seconds. Given that the passenger in the car has a mass of 70.0 kg and experiences a restraining force from the seat belt amounting to 4038 N, what was the car's initial velocity just before the impact with the tree?
A 32 kg child puts a 15 kg box into a 12 kg wagon. The child then pulls horizontally on the wagon with a force of 65 N. If the box does not move relative to the wagon, what is the static friction force on the box?
Just like Louis, Maria left a book on the roof of her car before driving away. The mass of the book was 725 grams. The coefficient of static friction between the book and the roof was 0.28. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the roof was 0.23. Maria started her car and drove forward on level ground with an acceleration of 3.6 m/s?. As Maria was driving away with that acceleration, what was the magnitude of the force of friction (in newtons) between the book and the roof of the car?
