1. A dog pulling on a 1.5 kg bone parallel to the ground with a force of 7.0 N to the left and the
boy is pulling on the bone parallel to the ground with a force of 3.0 N to the right. What is
the acceleration of the bone, don’t forget direction?

2. What is the force required to give a 45.0 N suitcase an acceleration of 3.6 m/s2?

3. A block with a mass of 7.5 kg is held in equilibrium with a force pushing parallel to a 35o
ramp. Find the FN and the force holding the block. Draw a diagram and label the forces.
4. A clerk moves a 15 kg box down an aisle with a force of 155 N at an angle of 35.0o to the
horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and floor is 0.35. Find the
acceleration of the box.

5. A shopper moves a cart with a force of 35 N directed at an angle of 40.0 o downward from the
horizontal. Find the work done by the shopper on the cart as she moves 90. m down the
aisle.
6. Calculate the speed of a 9.5 x 104 kg airliner with a kinetic energy of 2.1 x 109 J.

7. A 3.5 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a string. The distance from the center of the ball to the
ceiling is 3.0 m and the height of the room is 5.0 m. What is the gravitational potential energy
associated with the ball relative to the floor?

8. A spring with a force constant of 7.8 N/m has a relaxed length of 3.75 m. When the mass is
pulled from the starting position to 4.75 m out, what is the potential energy stored in the
spring?

9. An airplane is flying at a speed of 60.0 m/s when it drops at 40.0 kg food package to the
team below. If the plane drops the package from an altitude of 350.0 m and air resistance
can be neglected, how fast is the package moving when it hits the ground?

10. Robert weighs 650N and is sliding down a frictionless 15 m tall hill. He starts at the top with a
velocity of 12.5 m/s. At the bottom of the hill he hits a spring and compresses it 0.89 m.
What is the maximum velocity of Robert? (the spring constant = 1.5 N/m)
11. A 53 kg student climbs up a 5.50 m rope at a constant speed. If the student’s power output is
145 W, how long does it take the student to climb up the rope? How much work does the
student do?
