1. A trolley of mass 30 kg is pulled along the ground by horizontal force of 50 N. The opposing frictional force is 20 N. Calculate the acceleration of the trolley. F = 50 N , Ff = 20 N , a =?

2. A 1000 kg car is travelling at 72 km h-1 when the brakes are applied. It comes to a stop in a distance of 40 m. What is the average braking force of the car? 50 20 = 30 a a = 1.0 m s2

5. A sports car of mass 900 kg can accelerate at 2.5 ms-2 away from the traffic light.

What is the force needed to give it this acceleration?

6. What force is required to move a 2 kg object with an acceleration of 4 ms-2, if

(a) the object is on a smooth surface? (b) the object is on a surface where the average force of fraction acting on the object is 2 N? 3. Ali applies 60 N to move a 20 kg carton at a constant velocity. What is the fractional force on the carton?
4. A boy pushes a packing case, which has a total mass of 40 kg across a floor at a

constant velocity of 0.2 m s-1 by exerting a horizontal force of 20 N.

Constant velocity 0.2 ms-1 Acceleration, a

20 N
frictional force

60 N
frictional force

(a) What is the resultant force acting on the case? (b) What is the frictional force acting on the case? If , instead of 20 N , the boy exerts 60 N on the case.
