A kidnapped person is inside a van and cannot see outside. They wish to keep track of the van's motion. To do this, they hang a mass M = 2.37 kg on the end of a string, as shown. The angle of the string is 0 = 19.0° degrees from the vertical (0 0 when the mass hangs straight down) and the angle is approximately constant. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the van?

A car is moving at 18.00[m/s], and comes to a stop in 3.45[s], due to friction acting on the car. Assuming the acceleration is constant, what is the magnitude of the acceleration experienced by the car? Express your answer in m/s2.
A tennis ball with a speed of 27.8 m per s is moving perpendicular to a wall. After striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 20.016 m per s. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.0133 s, what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall? Take toward the wall to be the positive direction. Answer in units of m per s2.
While an elevator of mass 2620 kg moves upward, the tension in the cable is 48.9 kN. Assume the elevator is supported by a single cable. Forces exerted by the guide rails and air resistance are negligible. What is the acceleration of the elevator? If the acceleration is in upward direction, enter a positive value and if the acceleration is in downward direction, enter a negative value. If at some point in the motion the velocity of the elevator is 1.20 m/s upward, what is the upward velocity of the elevator 4.00 s later?
In researching the forces that act on flying birds, scientists studied the motion of cockatiels' bodies as they fly in horizontal flight. As the birds beat their wings, their bodies move up and down. (Figure 1) shows the vertical acceleration of a cockatiel's body during one wing beat, consisting of an upstroke followed by a downstroke.
