Problem Solving
1. A 1 kg object accelerated at a constant 5 m/s2. Estimate the net force needed to accelerate
the object.
2. Mass of an object = 1 kg, net force ∑F = 2 Newton. Determine the magnitude and direction
of the object’s acceleration.
3. A 40-kg block accelerated by a force of 200 N. Acceleration of the block is 3 m/s2.
Determine the magnitude of friction force experienced by the block.
4. A truck with a mass of 1500 kg is decelerated at a rate of 5m/s2. How much force did this
require?
5. A pitcher accelerates a baseball with a mass of 1.5 kg at 6m/s2. How much force does this
take?
6. A student starts a food fight by throwing a 0.5 kg burrito at some girl he likes. He throws it
kind of hard, so he accelerates it at 3 m/s2. How much force did this take?
7. A cannon shoots a 40 kg ball at a sailing ship and when it hits the wall of the vessel it
applies 2000N of force. How much was it decelerated?
8. A batter hits a baseball with 500 N and the ball is accelerated at 25 m/s2. What is the mass
of the ball?
9. A thug pushes some 100 kg punk with 300 N of force. How much is the punk accelerated?
10. A 5 kg book rests on a table. How much force is it exerting on the table? (Hint: think about
acceleration due to gravity.)
