1. a 3 kg lunch box is pushed across the lunch table. the acceleration of the lunch box is 2.0 m/s2. what was the net force applied to the lunch box? 2. find the weight of a 10 kg rock. remember, acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s2. show your work.

During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. the rocket is to be launched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 910 m above the earth's surface. the rocket's engines give the rocket an upward acceleration so it moves with acceleration of 16.0 m/s2 during the time t that they fire. after the engines shut off, the rocket is in free fall. ignore air resistance.

Orque can be calculated by multiplying the force (n) applied at 90? to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is n? m. if the force (at 90? to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?

Mass (kg) force (n) 5 25 10 50 15 75 20 100 a student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. he placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. the table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass. the student concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. what comment would you make regarding his conclusion? a) no clear relation can be observed between mass and force from the data. b) there is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table. c) gravity should have been taken into account while performing the experiment. d) there is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
