AOS 3. Chapter 5. Solving problems with Newton’s laws. QI. A mass of 25 kg is at rest on a rough horizontal floor. A horizontal force of 60 N to the left acts on the mass. a) What is the acceleration of the mass if the frictional force opposing the motion is 5.0 N? 'b)_ What would be the acceleration if the force was applied at an angle of 45° to the horizontal?” Q2. A mass of 10.0 kg is placed at the top of a plane inclined at 45° to the horizontal and allowed to slide down the plane. What is the acceleration of the mass if the frictional force opposing the motion is 3.2 N? Q3. A mass of 20 kg is at rest on a plane inclined at an angle of 25° to the horizontal. a) What is the component of the weight acting down the plane? ») What is the component of the weight perpendicular to the plane? Q4. Two boxes are connected by a lightweight cord and are resting on a table. The boxes have masses of 12 kg and 10 kg. A horizontal force of 40 N is applied by a person to the 10 kg box. a) What is the acceleration of each box? b) What is the tension in the cord?
