Highlights 10. A powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s² while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting motion, including friction and air resistance, total 400 N. (Air resistance is analogous to air friction. It always opposes the motion of an object.) What is the magnitude of the force the motorcycle exerts backward on the ground to produce its acceleration if the mass of the motorcycle with rider is 245 kg?

A person catches a ball with a mass of 145 g dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His hand stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball? Assume the ball slows down with constant acceleration.
A commercial airplane is coming in for a landing. Just before it hits the runway it is moving at 76 m/s. The plane has a mass of 20,000 kg. The runway is 1.6km long and, obviously, the airplane needs to be stopped before it reaches the end of the runway. How large is the braking force the airplane needs to stop safely before the end of the runway?
From a standstill, a 77.0 kg basketball player bends their knees and pushes against the floor andextends legs vertically 30.0 cm before jumping vertically off the ground and reaches a maximumheight of 25.0 inches above the ground. Assume the force the floor exerts on the player is constant.What is the force the floor exerts on the player? Give answer in lbs. (Let 4.45 N = 1 lb., 1 inch = 2.54 cm)
A ball with mass 0.3 kg is thrown upward with initial velocity 10 m/s from the roof of a building 50 m high. Assume there is a force due to directed opposite to the velocity, air resistance of magnitude 1325 where the velocity v is measured in m/s. NOTE: Use g-9.8 m/s as the acceleration due to gravity. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. a) Find the maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches. Height: m b) Find the time that the ball hits the ground. Time: seconds c) Use a graphing utility to plot the graphs of velocity and position versus time.
Mike pushes a box with a mass of 6.41 kg giving it an initial velocity of 2.49 m/s. The box comes to rest after sliding for 2.33 meters because of the frictional force exerted between the surface and the box. What is the frictional force on the box?
A magician pulls a tablecloth from under a 200 g mug located 15.0 cm from the edge of the cloth. The cloth exerts a friction force of 0.100 N on the mug and is pulled with a constant acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. How far does the mug move relative to the horizontal tabletop before the cloth is completely out from under it? Note that the cloth must move more than 15 cm relative to the tabletop during the process.
Air track: two objects tied together by a string. The figure shows a glider with mass my that moves on a level, frictionless air track in a physics lab. It is connected by a string passing over a small frictionless pulley to a hanging weight with total mass m₂. The string is light and flexible, and it doesn't stretch. (a) Find the acceleration of each object and the tension in the string. (b) What happens to the acceleration when m, is two times heavier than that of m₂? (c) Now my is four times heavier than that of m₂. Calculate the distance between it traveled during the initial period of two (2) seconds after the glider started moving. The tract is long enough for the travel. Show your work that leads to your answer. Explain each step in your work to explanation -quation WILIT T
