Part II Use Newton's 2nd Law of motion to solve each problem. Then record the correct answer
here (with proper units!)
1) How much force is needed to accelerate a 66 kg skier at 2 m/s2?
2) What is the force on a 1,000 kg elevator that is falling freely at 9.8 m/s2?
3) What is the acceleration of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons?
4) The mass of a large ceris 1000 kg How much force would be required to accelerate the car
at a rate
of 3 m/s2?
5) A 50 kg skater pushed by a friend accelerates 5 m/s2. How much force did the friend apply?
