A small car of mass 380 kg is pushing a large truck of mass 900 kg due east on a level road. The car exerts a horizontal force of 1600 N on the truck. What is the magnitude of the force that the truck exerts on the car?

A book is at rest on a horizontal table. The main forces acting on the book are the normal force from the table and the weight of the book. What is the best description of Newton's third law reaction force to the weight?

Ryan bounces a small rubber ball on the ground. During the bounce when the ball is in contact with the ground, how does the magnitude of the force of the ball on the ground compare to the magnitude of the force of the ground on the ball?

Boxes A and B are in contact on a horizontal, frictionless surface (Fig. E4.23). Box A has mass 20.0 kg and box B has mass 5.0 kg. A horizontal force of 250 N is exerted on box A. What is the magnitude of the force that box A exerts on box B?

World-class sprinters can accelerate out of the starting blocks with an acceleration that is nearly horizontal and has magnitude 15 m/s2. How much horizontal force must a 55-kg sprinter exert on the starting blocks to produce this acceleration? Which body exerts the force that propels the sprinter: the blocks or the sprinter herself?

An 85 kg cheerleader stands on a scale that reads in kg.b. What does the scale read if the 85 kg cheerleader lifts the 50kg cheerleader upward with an acceleration of 2.0 m/s²?

A house painter uses the chair-and-pulley arrangement of FIGURE P7.45 to lift himself up the side of a house. The painter's mass is 70 kg and the chair's mass is 10 kg. With what force must he pull down on the rope in order to accelerate upward at 0.20 m/s².

A 75 kg archer on ice skates is standing at rest on very smooth ice. He shoots a 450 g arrow horizontally. When released, the arrow reaches a speed of 110 m/s in 0.25 s. Assume that the force of the bow string on the arrow is constant.b. What is the archer's recoil speed?

The foot of a 55 kg sprinter is on the ground for 0.25 s while her body accelerates from rest to 2.0 m/s. (b) What is the magnitude of the friction force?
