4 The drag force on a car increases with speed. At 20 m / s, the total drag force is 400 N. The mass
of the car is 1200 kg and the driving force is constant at 700 N.
6 An object is rising vertically at constant speed through water. There are three vertical forces
acting on it: the weight W, the drag force D, and the upward force U.
Which diagram shows the magnitude and direction of the vertical forces acting on the object?

7 Two boys of equal weight sit on one side of a see-saw, as shown. Their father, of weight 1000 N,
sits on the other side. The see-saw is balanced and is being used so that it moves up and down.
During one part of the cycle, the father descends through a distance of 40 cm. At the same time,
the boy nearest the pivot rises through 20 cm, while the other boy rises through 80 cm.
8 A student measures the length of a spring. She then attaches different weights to the spring. She
