A horse pulls a wagon, and the wagon pulls back with the same force (according to Newton's 3rd Law). How do they get anywhere? O They were already moving with a constant velocity. O They don't; the forces cancel. The ground exerts a force on the horse. O The force exerted by the horse is greater than that by the wagon. O The forces don't cancel while they accelerate - only when they are moving at constant velocity.
y Problem 3: The diagram shows the all of the forces acting on a body of mass 2.31 kg. The three forces have magnitudes F₁ = 50.6 N, F2 = 20.8 N, and F3 = 75.8 N, with directions as indicted in the diagram, where 0 = 39.6 degrees and p = 30.1 degrees. The dashed lines are parallel to the x and y axes. At t = 0, the body is moving at a speed of 7.93 m/s in the positive x direction.

A cardboard box rests on the floor of an elevator. The box has a mass m = 2.75 kg and the elevator has an upward acceleration of a. a. Write an expression for the sum of the forces acting on the box in the y-direction, ΣFy, given that up is the positive y-direction. Your answer should be in terms of FN, m, and g. b. Write an expression for the normal force, FN, that the block experiences in terms of the elevator's acceleration, the block's mass, and the acceleration of gravity. c. If the elevator's acceleration has a magnitude of g in the downward direction, what would the normal force, FN1 be in Newtons? d.If the elevator's acceleration had a magnitude of g in the upward direction, what would the normal force FN2 be in Newtons?
Lucy boards a crowded bus as it sits in the station. There are no available scats, so Lucy stands in the center aisle next to a support pole. As the bus starts moving forward and picks up speed, Lucy holds the pole tightly to avoid falling over backward. While the bus is speeding up, what is the direction of the total force (if any) on Lucy? O the total force is zero O backward O forward As the bus drives down a straight road at a constant specd, Lucy has no trouble keeping her balance. During this time, what is the direction of the total force (if any) on Lucy? backward the total force is zero O forward The bus comes to a sudden stop at a red light, and Lucy grips the pole tightly to avoid falling over forward. During this time, what is the direction of the total force (if any) on Lucy? O the total force is zero O forward O backward
