Consider two blocks connected . Block A has mass 2.00 kg, and block B has mass 5.00 kg. The table on which B sits is frictionless, the cord connecting the blocks is light and flexible, and the pulley is light and frictionless.

An object has a velocity (4.69 m/s)i + (-4.4 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. In a time of 5.5 s its velocity becomes (-2.22 m/s)i + (0.00 m/s)j + (4.73 m/s)k. 1) If the mass of the object is 3.31 kg, what is the magnitude of the net force on the object, in N, during the 5.5 s? Assume the acceleration is constant.
Assume motion in one dimension. You want to determine the mass of an object, by applying a known force F to it and measuring the objects acceleration a. However, there is also an unknown resistive force -f acting on the object, so that the net force is Fnet = F - f. In addition, your force sensor drifts slightly, so that its readings are not very accurate. You therefore make 4 measurements. For F = 1, 2, 3, and 4 N you measure the accelerations 6.26, 12.21, 19.26, and 26.39 m/s². respectively. Enter these data into an Excel spreadsheet and produce a graph of F versus a. Add a trendline, and Choose "Linear", "Display equation on chart". Do NOT set the intercept equal to zero. Format the trendline label so that it shows 3 decimal places. Assume F f = ma, or F = ma + f. The y-intercept of the trendline represents the unknown resistive (frictional) force. What is the magnitude of this force in N? Enter a number with 3 digits behind the decinal point.

Two skaters are on an icy pond (no friction). They have masses m1 = 65.0 kg and m2 = 80.0 kg. They are each holding one end of a rope. The heavier skater starts exerting a force of F = 125 N. The rope tautens so that it has a tension T. What is the acceleration of each skater, and what is the tension in the rope?
A truck collides with a car, and during the collision, the net force on each vehicle is essentially the force exerted by the other.
