3. Draw a FBD for a block being pushed on a 4. A leftward force is applied to a toy car in order
horizontal, frictionless surface. Ignore air to move it across a table with a leftward
resistance. acceleration. Draw a FBD for the toy.
 5. Draw a FBD for a 500-kg jet. If the thrust is 10,000 N and the plane accelerates horizontally at 8m/s2, what is the
drag force or air resistance?

Newton’s Second Law

F = ma a = F/m m = F/a

6. Suppose you throw a turkey with a 17 N net force. The turkey has an acceleration of 10 m/s2? What is the mass
of the turkey?

7. What is the mass of a ball that acquires an acceleration of 4.0 m/s2 when a force of 84 N is applied?

8. What is the acceleration of a 1500 kg car subject to a 1870 N net force?

9. If a 60 kg person on a 15 kg sled is pushed with a force of 300 N, what will be person’s

acceleration?

10. A 50 kg skater pushed by a friend accelerates 5 m/sec2. How much force did the friend apply?

Weight

W = mg m = W/g
Weight= mass x accel of gravity mass = weight/ accel of gravity

11. What is the acceleration of gravity on earth?

12. Find the weight of a 140 kg pig on earth.

13. Find the weight of a 2500 kg boat on the moon. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2.
 14. Find the mass of a 45 N arm chair on earth.

15. Find the mass of a 65,000 N plane on earth.

Momentum- Newton’s Third Law

p=mxv Momentum m=p/v v=p/m

= mass x velocity Mass = momentum / velocity Velocity= momentum/ mass
16. What is the velocity of an 90 kg jogger with a momentum of 250 kg x m/s?

17. Find the momentum of a 2200 kg truck travelling at a velocity of 16 m/s.

18. Find the momentum of 120 kg motorcycle travelling at a velocity of 16 m/s.

19. Find the velocity of an 80 kg bicycle with a momentum of 420 kg m/s.

20. Find the mass of a horse that runs at a velocity of 17 m/s and has a momentum of 3315 kg m/s.

21. The parking brake on a 1200kg automobile has broken, and the vehicle has reached a momentum of
7800kg.m/s. What is the velocity of the vehicle?

22. Newton’s third law says that every time there is an ______________________________ force, there is also a
_______________________ force that is ______________________ in size and acts in the
____________________________ direction.
23. Listed below are ACTION forces. Tell the REACTION force.
