The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Chapter 5, Problem 19PCE

BIO Woodpecker Concussion Prevention A woodpecker exerts a 230-N force on a tree trunk during its effort to find hidden insects to eat If its head has an effective mass of 0.025 kg, what is the acceleration of its head away from the tree trunk? The woodpecker’s skull has a special spongy bone plate to protect itself against brain concussions.

4. The parking brake fails on a parked car at the top of a hill and it rolls down the hill ¹. At that same moment an SUV is coming down a cross street at the bottom of the hill, moving at 30 miles per hour. (See diagram below.) The mass of the car is 1000 kg. The mass of the SUV is 3000 kg. a) Find the speed of the car when it reaches the bottom of the hill. b) The car and SUV collide and move off together. Find their velocity immediately after the collision. ¹ Note that the wheels of a car are so much lighter than the car itself that their rotation is negligible. In short, a rolling car acts like a sliding object, not like a rolling object. W. View from Above N E Hill Side View of the Hill 10m 40°

Calculate the force that a 5 kg block exerts as it rests on the Earth's surface. Assume the gravitational acceleration of Earth is 9.8 m/s2 Calculate the force that a 247 g block exerts as it rests on the Earth's surface. Assume the gravitational acceleration of Earth is 9.8 m/s?

2. A glass beer mug has a mass of 1.3 kg when empty. You fill the glass with 0.7 kg of beer and slide it across a wet bar surface (no friction) while applying a constant force for 0.5 meters. The mug of beer is initially at rest but at the end of your push (you want to slide it to a thirsty customer) it is travelling at 1 m/s. a. What is the force you are applying to the mug of beer as you slide it for the 0.5 meters? b. What is the net amount of work that is done on the glass of beer during that push? c. What was the change in the glass of beer's kinetic energy? d. If the same force is applied, but you first spill out half of the beer, how fast will the mug of beer now be travelling after you push it again over the same distance of 0.5 meters?
