Show your solution and round your answer to two
decimal places.
1. A box of mass 2000 g slowly accelerates forward when
a 4 N of net force is applied on it. At what rate does
the box accelerate forward?
2. Calculate the acceleration of a 10 kg wooden cart,
when a 60 g-cm/s² of net force is applied on it.
3. What is the acceleration of a 660 lbs horse cart when
an 800 N of net force is applied on it?
4. A 180 N of net force is applied on a 100 kg wagon.
Calculate the acceleration of the wagon.
5. According to the National Center for Health Statistics,
the average mass of an adult American male is 86 kg.
Determine the mass and the weight of an 86-kg man
on the moon where the gravitational field is one-sixth
that of the Earth.
6. Aljon, whose mass is 60 kg, experienced a net force
of 1800 N at the bottom of a roller coaster loop during
his school's physics field trip to the local amusement
park. Determine Aljon's acceleration at this location.
7. Captain Diomer Serra of the U.S. Air Force tested the
human limits of acceleration by riding on a rocket
sled of his own design, known as the DSerra1. What
net force would be required to accelerate the 92-kg
rocket at 65 m/hr²?
