A block of dry ice resting on a table is given a brief push. A moment

later, what forces are acting on the block?

For 2500 points

• Normal force and the force of gravity

A block of dry ice resting on a table is given a brief push. Describe the

motion of the block.

For 400 points

• The block moves at a constant speed.

What forces are acting on the block (dry ice)?

For 100 points

• Towing force, normal force, and gravity

Describe the motion of the block (dry ice)

For 10000 points

• The block accelerates constantly

When the block (dry ice) reaches point B, the string breaks. Describe

the motion of the block.

For 50000 points

• The block moves at a constant speed.

Eventually, the block reaches the edge of the table. After the block

leaves the table, what forces act on the block?

For 1000 points

• The force of gravity

As a ball falls, consider one force to be the pull of the earth on the ball.

What is the pair to this force?

For 100 points

• The pull of the ball on the earth

A horse exerts a 500 N force on a heavy wagon, causing it to

accelerate. What force does the wagon exert on the horse?

For 8000 points

• 500 N force

You’re in the back of a friend’s pickup truck when it stalls on a hill. You jump out, get behind the truck and push with all your might (300

N). Still, the truck slowly rolls back down the hill. The force the truck

exerts on you is:

For 200 points

• 300 N

When you first learned how to roller skate, you may have gotten started

by pushing off the wall at the skating rink. Draw a force diagram

You push your lawnmower (mass = 15 kg) across the lawn at constant speed. To do so, you must exert

120 N of force. The handle makes a 35° angle with the horizontal. What is the x-component of the

force you apply?

For 500 points

• - 98 N

You push your lawnmower (mass = 15 kg) across the lawn at constant speed. To do so, you must exert

120 N of force. The handle makes a 35° angle with the horizontal. How does the frictional force

compare to the x-component of the force?

For 200 points

• They are equal in magnitude, but in the

opposite direction.

You push your lawnmower (mass = 15 kg) across the lawn at constant speed. To do so, you must exert

What is the normal force?

For 600 points

• 219 N

A sign hangs from a boom supported by a cable connected to

a wall. The cable makes a 30° angle with the boom. The force of tension in the cable is 80 N. What

is mass of the sign?

For 300 points
