NEWTON´S LAWS OF MOTION WORKSHOP

1. Two people apply two forces to push a mass
m=60 kg. The woman apply a force F= 30 N and the
man apply a force 2F= 60 N. Neglecting the friction,
calculate the acceleration of the mass.
5. The figure shows a 10-kg mass on an incline at
30°. If the mass is in motion, calculate the
acceleration of the mass if:
a. There is no kinetic friction.
b. If kinetic friction exist with µk=0.4

60 kg is sliding down a snowy slope (µ k=0.1) at an
m=90 kg. The woman apply a force F=300 N and
angle of 25° degrees. If the skier starts from rest,
the man apply a force 2F=600 N. If the static
friction coefficient is μs =0.8 and the kinetic how long does it take to move 30 m? What is the
friction coefficient is μk =0.7, does the mass velocity of the skier at the end of the slope?
move? If it does, calculate the acceleration of the
mass.

3. A 6-kg body initially on repose experiences a
f s=μ s . N (static friction)
force of 10 N for 4 seconds. Neglecting the friction,
what distance does it travel? What is the velocity f k =μk . N (kinetic friction)
after 4 seconds?
