A 4.50-kg experimental cart undergoes an acceleration in a straight line (the x-axis). The graph in Fig. E4.13 shows this acceleration as a function of time. (a) Find the maximum net force on this cart. When does this maximum force occur?

A $10\mathrm{N}$ horizontal force is applied to a $10\mathrm{kg}$ box causing it to speed up. The force of kinetic friction is $5\mathrm{N}$. Which choice best describes the subsequent motion of the box?

A hockey puck with mass 0.160 kg is at rest at the origin (x = 0) on the horizontal, frictionless surface of the rink. At time t = 0 a player applies a force of 0.250 N to the puck, parallel to the x-axis; she continues to apply this force until t = 2.00s. (a) What are the position and speed of the puck at t = 2.00 s?

A small 8.00-kg rocket burns fuel that exerts a time-varying upward force on the rocket (assume constant mass) as the rocket moves upward from the launch pad. This force obeys the equation F = A + Bt2. Measurements show that at t = 0, the force is 100.0 N, and at the end of the first 2.00 s, it is 150.0 N. (a) Find the constants A and B, including their SI units

A 4.50-kg experimental cart undergoes an acceleration in a straight line (the x-axis). The graph in Fig. E4.13 shows this acceleration as a function of time. (b) During what times is the net force on the cart a constant?

A hockey puck with mass 0.160 kg is at rest at the origin (x = 0) on the horizontal, frictionless surface of the rink. At time t = 0 a player applies a force of 0.250 N to the puck, parallel to the x-axis; she continues to apply this force until t = 2.00s. (b) If the same force is again applied at t = 5.00 s, what are the position and speed of the puck at t = 7.00 s?

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves 11.0 m in 5.00 s. (a) What is the mass of the block of ice?

A box rests on a frozen pond, which serves as a frictionless horizontal surface. If a fisherman applies a horizontal force with magnitude 48.0 N to the box and produces an acceleration of magnitude 2.20 m/s2, what is the mass of the box?

Due to a jaw injury, a patient must wear a strap (Fig. E4.3) that produces a net upward force of 5.00 N on his chin. The tension is the same throughout the strap. To what tension must the strap be adjusted to provide the necessary upward force?
