Chapter 4, Problem 2MCQ
You are trying to push your stalled car. Although you apply a horizontal force of 400 N to the car, it doesn't budge, and neither do you. Which force(s) must also have a magnitude of 400 N?
- The force exerted by the car on you.
- The friction force exerted by the car on the road.
- The normal force exerted by the road on you.
- The friction force exerted by the road on you.

A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant speed "v0". The constant horizontal force applied by the woman:
has the same magnitude as the weight of the box.
is greater than the weight of the box.
has the same magnitude as the total force which resists the motion of the box.
is greater than the total force which resists the motion of the box.
is greater than either the weight of the box or the total force which resists its motion.
If the woman in the previous question doubles the constant horizontal force that she exerts on the box to push it on the same horizontal floor, the box then moves:
with a constant speed that is double the speed "v0" in the previous question.
with a constant speed that is greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, but not necessarily twice as great.
for a while with a speed that is constant and greater than the speed "v0" in the previous question, then with a speed…

- Block 1 (m1 = 4 kg) and block 2 (m2 = 7 kg) are adjacent to each other on the surface of a table. Block 2 is to the LEFT of block1. A hand pushes horizontally on block 2 and causes both blocks to move to the right with an acceleration of magnitude 2 m/s². The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.6. Use g = 10 m/s. On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagrams for block 1 and block 2 using the two-subscript notation from class. After completing the free body diagrams, enter below each force and its x & y-components. Remember that the x- component is the "i" component and the y-component is the "j" component.
