Bill and Sally are at an ice-skating rink, and Sally gives Bill a playful 25.0 N push. Thiscauses them to accelerate away from each other at 0.733 m/s2. If Bill’s mass is 75.0 kg, what isSally’s mass? (You may assume friction is negligible.)
At a given instant in time, an 8-kg rock that has been dropped from a high cliff experiences an upward force of air resistance of 12 N. What is the gravitational force on the rock? Use g= 9.8 m/s2. (Round the final answer to one decimal place.) The gravitational force on the rock is N.

You are standing still on a bathroom scale . The scale shows your weight 140ibs. How much is the support force ?
Newton's second law indicates that when a net force acts on an object, it must accelerate. Does this mean that when two or more forces are applied simultaneously on the object, the object must acceterate? O Yes it must accelerate since there are two or more forces acting on it. ONot necessarily since it depends on the magnitudes and directions of the forces.
