Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts a force of 75.0 N, the second exerts a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kg. (a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (See the free-body diagram.) (b) Calculate the acceleration. (c) What would the acceleration be if friction were 15.0 N?

Assuming that the masses of the string and the frictionless pulley are negligible, (a) find an equation for the acceleration of the two blocks; (b) find an equation for the tension in the string; and (c) find both the acceleration and tension when block 1 has mass 2.00 kg and block 2 has mass 4.00 kg.
An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P4.45), Nick pulls on the loose end of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 250 N. Nicks true weight is 320 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nicks feet are not touching the ground. (a) Draw one pair of diagrams showing the forces for Nick and the chair considered as separate systems and another diagram for Nick and the chair considered as one system. (b) Show that the acceleration of the system is upward and find its magnitude. (c) Find the force Nick exerts on the chair. Figure P4.45 Problems 45 and 46. 46. In the situation described in Problem 45 and Figure P4.45, the masses of the rope, spring balance, and pulley are negligible. Nicks feet are not touching the ground. (a) Assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he stops pulling down on the rope and passes the end of the rope to another child, of weight 440 N, who is standing on the ground next to him. The rope does not break. Describe the ensuing motion. (b) Instead, assume Nick is momentarily at rest when he ties the end of the rope to a strong hook projecting from the tree trunk. Explain why this action can make the rope break.
Shown in Figure 5.4 are four situations in which a force acts on a subject. The subject is labeled in each case. Case 1. A baseball glove stops a vertically falling baseball. Case 2. CASE STUDY A freight train collides with a slopped passenger train. Case 3. A satellite orbits the Earth. For each case, identify the source of the force and the direction of the force. Then state whether a contact force or a field force is involved.
A runner pushes against the track, as shown. (a) Provide a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the runner. (Hint: Place all forces at the center of his body, and include his weight.) (b) Give a revised diagram showing the xy -component form. (credit: modification of work by “Greenwich Photography”/Flicke)
