What is the acceleration of the system shown above? (Assume the table is frictionless and the mass of the rope connecting blocks is negligible).

4

A car moving at 40m/s suddenly applies a braking force and comes to rest in 20s, with constant deceleration. If the car has a mass of 2000kg, what is the braking force?

5

If a 15kg object is subjected to a force of 175N to the east and another force of 1020N to the west, what is the object’s acceleration?

6

A box is placed on a 30o frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline?
