Scott and Becca are moving a folding table out of the sunlight. A cup of lemonade, with a mass of 0.44 kg, is on the table. Scott lifts his end of the table before Becca does, and as a result, the table makes an angle of 15.0° with the horizontal. Find the components of the cup's weight that are parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the table. (g = 9.8 m/s?

A 1.90 kg box is moving to the right with speed 9.00 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface. At t = 0 a horizontal force is applied to the box. The force is directed to the left and has magnitude F(t)=( 6.00 N/s^2 )t2 If the force continues to be applied, what is the velocity of the box at 3.50 s?
A golf ball (m = 67.8 g) is hit by a clab that makes an angle of 25.1° with the horizontal. The ball lands 222 m away on a flat fairway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. If the golf club and ball are in contact for 3.34 ms, what is the average force of impact? Neglect air resistance. Answer in units of N.
A toy car is rolling down the ramp as shown in the figure. The car's mass is 1.7 kg and the ramp makes an angle of θ = 16 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. Assume the car rolls without friction. Using the coordinate system specified, give an expression for the acceleration of the car in terms of θ,g and the unit vectors i and j. What is the magnitude of this acceleration in m/s^2
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. The horizontal force F S has magnitude F = 20.0 N, and block B moves to the left with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2. What is the tension in the cord that connects the two blocks?
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.
