A space probe is carried by a rocket into outer
space where it continues to move on its own
in a straight line.
What keeps the probe moving?
1. The gravitation forces from different stars
and planets
2. None of these
3. Nothing specific; in the absence of forces
it would continue moving in a straight line.
4. Nothing; the probe will eventually stop.

5. There is not enough information given to

tell which is correct.

A force is applied to a 2.8 kg mass and produces 5.9 m/s2 acceleration.
What acceleration would be produced by
the same force applied to a 10.3 kg mass?
Answer in units of m/s2 .

A 13.6 kg mass attached to a spring scale rests
on a smooth, horizontal surface. The spring
scale, attached to the front end of a boxcar,
reads T = 48.5 N when the car is in motion.
40 N
Will the box experience acceleration?
m

If the spring scale reads zero when the car

is at rest, determine the acceleration of the
car, when it is in motion as indicated above.
Answer in units of m/s2 .
003 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points
What would be the reading on the scale if the
boxcar were moving at a constant velocity?
1. T
2. less than T , but greater than 0 N
3. greater than T

1. No; it is balanced.
2. Unable to determine without the angle.
3. Yes; downward.
4. Yes; upward.

A 4.8 kg bucket of water is raised from a well
by a rope.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
If the upward acceleration of the bucket is
4.0 m/s2 , find the force exerted by the rope
on the bucket of water.
Answer in units of N.

What is your mass in kilograms?
Answer in units of kg.
013 10.0 points
Once a 21 kg crate is in motion on a horizontal
floor, a horizontal force of 53 N keeps the crate
moving with a constant velocity.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
What is k , the coefficient of kinetic friction, between the crate and the floor?
014 10.0 points
A box of books weighing 334 N moves with
a constant velocity across the floor when it is
pushed with a force of 426 N exerted downward at an angle of 34.0 below the horizontal.
Find k between the box and the floor.

A clerk moves a box of cans down an aisle by
pulling on a strap attached to the box. The
clerk pulls with a force of 177.0 N at an angle

of 27.0 with the horizontal. The box has a

mass of 31.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the box and floor is 0.370.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .
What is the acceleration of the box?
Answer in units of m/s2 .
