Newton’s 2nd Law – Practice problem 1

A car has a mass of 550 kg.

1. Find the weight of the car on Earth 2. Find the net force needed to accelerate the car at 12 m/s2.  3. If a net force of 2200 N were to act on the car, what would its acceleration be? 

Newton’s 2nd Law – Practice problem 2

A sled weighs 2500 N on Earth

1. What is the mass of the sled?

 

 

 

2. What is the mass of the sled on the moon, where g = 1.6 m/s2?

 

 

 

3. What is the weight of the sled on the moon?

 

 

 

 

4. What net force is needed to accelerate the object at 4.0 m/s2 on the moon?

Summarize Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion

Newton’s 3rd Law, the Law of Interaction

If (object 1) exerts a (type) force in the (direction) direction on (object 2), then (object 2) is exerting a (same type) force directed (opposite direction) on (object 1) simultaneously.

Take LUG notes

Practice Problem 1Tom has a mass of 70.0-kg and Sally has a mass of 50.0-kg. Tom and Sally are standing 20.0m apart on the dance floor. Sally looks up and sees Tom. She feels an attraction. If the attraction is gravitational, find its size. Assume that both Tom and Sally can be replaced by spherical masses.

Practice Problem 2

What is the gravitational attraction between two spheres (msphere = 1.67 X 10-27 kg) at a distance of 5.0 X 10-15 m?

7.44 x10-36 N
