Correct answer: 40815.8 N. Explanation: The average force on the dragster is fd = md a = (930.6 kg) (43.8596 m/s2 ) = 40815.8 N . 011 (part 3 of 3) 10.0 points Assume: The driver has a mass of 78.6 kg . What horizontal force does the seat exert on the driver? Correct answer: 3447.37 N. Explanation: The force on the driver is F = ma = (78.6 kg) (43.8596 m/s2 ) = 3447.37 N . Force on a Bullet 02 012 10.0 points A 9.7 g bullet leaves the muzzle of a rie with a speed of 520.5 m/s. What constant force is exerted on the bullet while it is traveling down the 0.9 m length of the barrel of the rie? Correct answer: 1459.96 N. Explanation: Average acceleration can be found from
2 2 vf = vo + 2 a

Thus F = ma = m v2 2 (9.7 g)(520.5 m/s)2 1 kg = 2 (0.9 m) 1000 g

= 1459.96 N .

Force on a Coasting Car 013 10.0 points A 1698.7 kg car is traveling at 35 m/s when the driver takes his foot o the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow down to 20 m/s. How large is the net force slowing the car? Correct answer: 4996.18 N. Explanation: The acceleration of the car is given by a= v v0 t 20 m/s 35 m/s = 5.1 s = 2.94118 m/s2 .

Applying Newtons second law yields the force slowing the car: F = |m a| = (1698.7 kg)(2.94118 m/s2 ) = 4996.18 N .

Since vo = 0, we have v2 a= 2

Force on a Lawn Spreader 014 10.0 points Joe pushes down the length of the handle of a 14.3 kg lawn spreader. The handle makes an angle of 45.6 with the horizontal. Joe wishes to accelerate the spreader from rest to 1.35 m/s in 1.3 s. What force must Joe apply to the handle? Correct answer: 21.2245 N. Explanation:

Version PREVIEW Chapter 4 Newtons 1st 2nd Laws Johnson (84248) The horizontal component of the force is Fh = F cos . Let v be the nal velocity of the spreader. According to Newtons second law, Fh = m ah so F cos = m vh t m vh F = t cos mv = t cos (14.3 kg) (1.35 m/s) = (1.3 s) cos 45.6 = 21.2245 N Let : F2 F1 Wg 1 2 T, = 740 N , = 666 N , = 33 , and = 90 .
