    The document provides 5 physics word problems involving force and acceleration. Problem 1 asks the reader to calculate the lifting force on a 4600 kg helicopter accelerating upward at 2 m/s^2. Problem 2 asks if a grocery bag filled with 20 kg of groceries will rip when lifted with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. Problem 3 asks the reader to calculate the net force on a 710 kg race car that travels 40 meters in 3 seconds from rest.

    WS Force & Acceleration Problems

    Academic Physics

    Complete these problems on a separate piece of paper using the methods demonstrated in class. BE SURE TO UTILIZE THE METHOD FOR SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS & FORCE PROBLEMS AND SHOW ALL WORK IN ORDER TO RECEIVE FULL CREDIT!!!

    1.

    A 4600.0 kg helicopter accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 upward. What is the lifting force exerted by the propellers?

    2.

    The maximum force that a grocery bag can withstand without ripping is 250 N. Suppose the bag is filled with 20.0 kg of groceries and lifted with an acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Does the grocery bag rip? How do you know?

    3. A race car has a mass of 710 kg. It starts from rest and travels a distance of 40.0 meters in 3.0 seconds. Assuming a uniform acceleration for the car, what is the net force acting on it?

    4. Suppose that a 1000.0 kg car is traveling at 25 m/s. Its brakes can apply a force of 5000.0 N. What is the minimum distance required for the car to stop?

    5. A 65 kg woman falls into the water from a 10.0 meter high platform (ignore air resistance). a. What is the net force on the woman as she is in the air? b. What is her speed as she hits the water? c. If she comes to a stop 2.0 meters below the surface of the water, what net force does she experience?
