NIM.8 A 1500-kg car traveling at a steady speed of 20 m/s (about 44 mi/h) initially due northwest rounds a corner so that after 10 s, it is traveling due northeast. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force that must be act- ing on the car at the instant it is traveling due north? (Hint: It really helps if you draw a picture.)

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 3.196E+3-kg Chevy Suburban on route 422 is stopped at the light in Annville heading eastbound. After the light turns green, the driver puts the pedal to the floor. The engine provides a monstrous 1.647E+4 N of forward force on the Suburban. The vehicle passes by the Allen Theatre at 11.3 m/s. Air resistance and friction contribute a 2.544E+3 N force that opposes the motion. Find out how far (in m) the suburban travels in the 3.80 s after it passes the Allen Theatre.

m A block of mass m = 10.46 kg is at rest on a friction-less table. A student comes 0 = along and presses on the book with an unknown force F, at an angle 6= 23.9° as shown in the figure. If the acceleration is 8.11 m/s2, with how much force (in N) is the student pressing? %3D Your Answer:
Please use at least 4 significant figures throughout the entire problem! Also use 9.80m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. DO NOT USE 10 M/S2 FOR THE ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY! Thank You.
A 20.0 kg block is projected up an inclined slope by a force of 1250N acting on the block over a distance of 25cm. The block comes to a standstill as it reaches the top. The slope is inclined at 15° and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the slope is 0.400. Draw a before-and-after pictorial representation (before being released and at rest at top of а. slope).

The rocket in a rocket-powered airplane generates a steady force of 10,000 N in the forward direction and the plane moves horizontally at a constant velocity of 300 m/s through the air. The rocket engine is upgraded so that it now provides a forward force of 90,000 N. What is the new constant velocity of the plane? You cannot neglect air resistance in this question. 200 m/s 300 m/s 400 m/s 600 m/s 900 m/s
A car driver is stopped at a red light at an intersection. When the light goes green, she puts her foot on the accelerator, causing the engine to generate a varying driving force F(t) =430t + 860 t2 (with t in seconds, F in Newtons). It takes 3.00 seconds for the car to cross the intersection. The mass of the car (including passengers) is 700 kg. What is the speed of the car once it has crossed the interaction?
