An object is being acted upon by three forces and moves with a constant velocity. One force is 60 N along the x-axis, the second is 75 N along a direction making a clockwise angle of 150° with the x-axis. What is the direction of the third force, measured clockwise from the x-axis?

Why does it hurt more to fall from a certain height to the ground than it does to fall from the same height into a swimming pool?

A locomotive is pulling three wagons along a level track with a force of 100,000 N. The wagon next to the locomotive has a mass of 80,000 kg, the next one, 50,000 kg, and the last one, 70,000 kg. Neglect friction. What is the force between the 50,000-kg and 70,000-kg wagons?

Three boxes rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0 kg, 3.0 kg, and 2.0 kg, with the 3.0-kg mass in the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 2.0-kg mass, which pushes against the other two masses. What is the contact force between the 3.0-kg mass and the 2.0-kg mass?

A 777 aircraft has a mass of 300,000 kg. At a certain instant during its landing, its speed is 27.0 m/s. If the braking force is 435,000 N, how much further does it travel along the runway before it comes to a stop?

A person is lowering a bucket into a well with a constant speed. The force exerted by the rope on the bucket is

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictional force that the pole exerts on the fireman. When this force equals the weight of the fireman, what happens?

A 50.0-kg crate is being pulled along a horizontal, smooth surface. The pulling force is 10.0 N and is directed 20.0° above the horizontal. What is the acceleration of the crate?

A ball is thrown up into the air. Ignore air resistance. When it is rising and reaches half of its maximum height, the net force acting on it is

An astronaut weighs 99.0 N on the Moon, where the acceleration of gravity is 1.62 m/s². How much does she weigh on Earth?

A 45.0-kg person steps on a scale in an elevator. The scale reads 460 N. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator?

A force is required for an object to move.

The acceleration of an object does not have to be in the same direction as the net force applied to it.

A 30.0-kg object slides down a slope which is inclined 27.0° to the horizontal. What is the normal force on the object?

Two forces act on a 4.00-kg object in a manner that the object has an acceleration 3.00 m/s² in a direction 20.0° north of east. The first force is 15.00 N in a direction 10.0° west of north. What is the second force?

A locomotive is pulling a number of identical wagons along a level track and accelerating. Friction is negligible. Starting from the last wagon, the ratio of the forces between adjacent wagons is

An object of mass m sits on a flat table. The Earth pulls on this object with force mg, which we will call the action force. What is the reaction force?

A 10.0-kg picture is held in place by two wires, one hanging at 50.0° to the left of the vertical and the other at 45.0° to the right of the vertical. What is the tension in the first wire?
