A typical car weighs about 1000 kg. An average person can push with a force that is about half the force of gravity on her body, say about 500 N. a. How long would it take for the car to reach walking speed of about 1.5 m/s from an initial speed of zero? b. How far has the car moved when it reaches that velocity?
A constant force applied to object A causes it to accelerate at 5 m/s2. The same force applied to object B causes an acceleration of 3 m/s2. Applied to object C, it causes an acceleration of 8 m/s2.a. Which object has the largest mass?b. Which object has the smallest mass?c. What is the ratio of mass A to mass B (mA/mB)?
