A young woman is renovating her kitchen. It is her first day working on it so it is time for demolition! She has been using a sledgehammer for a few hours now to destroy her cabinets. Her countertop is next. She's a little bored now so she grabbed a can of Sprite and set it on the counter. She swings her hammer with all her might to crush the can. How does the force the hammer exerted on the can compare to the force the can exerted on the hammer as the can was getting crushed?

Tom and his little sister are enjoying an afternoon at the ice rink. They playfully place their hands together and push against each other. Tom's mass is 71 kg and his little sister's mass is 15 kg. Which of the following statements is correct? The force experienced by Tom is less than the force experienced by his sister. The force experienced by the sister is less than the force experienced by Tom. They both experience the same force. Which of the following statements is correct? Tom's acceleration is less than the sister's acceleration. Tom's acceleration is more than the sister's acceleration. They both have the same acceleration. If the sister's acceleration is 2.7 m/s2 in magnitude, what is the magnitude (in m/s2) of Tom's acceleration? (Enter a number.)
A bucket that has a mass of 30 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 25 meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.1 kg/m that must be secured to the bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the building it only has mass 24 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building.Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building.
