For questions 9 -16, SHOW ALL WORK for full credit and draw a circle around
your final answer. Don’t forget to include units if applicable. If you are asked to
draw a force diagram, be sure to label all known information. Be sure that the sizes
of your arrows are proportionate to each other.

9. A 40 kg sail boat experiences a force from the wind pushing directly north with a force
of 4.5 N and a force from the water pushing 45 degrees south of east at 1.6 N. What is
the resultant acceleration of the boat? (include magnitude and direction)

10. A hockey puck on flat ice is decelerating at 6 m/s2. Find the coefficient of kinetic
friction between the puck and the ice.
11. What is the mass (in kg) of a cat that weighs 3.6 N?

12. a. Draw a force diagram and find the normal force (in N) acting on a 25 kg
refrigerator at rest on the kitchen floor.

b. Draw a force diagram and find the normal force (in N) acting on the same refrigerator
on a surface tilted at 30o above horizontal.

13. A 25 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 77 N horizontal force to

set it in motion. Find the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor.
14. Draw a free-body force diagram of a car driving at a constant velocity. Is the car in
equilibrium?

15. Two lifeguards pull on ropes attached to a raft. If they pull in the same direction, the
raft experiences a net force of 334 N to the right. If they pull in opposite directions, the
raft experiences a net force of 106 N to the left. Draw a free-body diagram representing
the raft for both situations.
16. Draw a free-body force diagram for each of the following objects:

a. An apple in free fall, feeling a force of wind of 2 N to the left

b. A scientist being hit in the head by an apple

c. An apple on the ground being kicked.

17. (Extra Credit) A couch with a mass of 1.00 x 102 kg is placed on an adjustable ramp
connected to a truck. As one end of the ramp is raised, the couch begins to move
downward. If the couch slides down the ramp with an acceleration of 0.70 m/s2 when the
ramp angle is 25.0°, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ramp and the
couch? (ag = 9.8 m/s2)
