A 5000 kg lorry gradually accelerates from rest. There is a box of mass 200 kg on the back of the lorry. The box is not
tied to the lorry.
The lorry accelerates from rest to a speed of 15 m/s over a certain distance.
The maximum frictional force between the lorry and the box is 630 N.
The maximum acceleration (in m/s^2) that the lorry can have without the box falling off is:
A 67.3 kg person is standing inside an elevator. The elevator is traveling from the 1st floor to the 8th floor. As the elevator passes the 7th floor it is traveling at a speed of 3.02 m/s and is decelerating at a rate of 1.39 m/s^2. At that moment, what is the net force acting on the person?

Question #2: 60-kg woman in an elevator is accelerating downward at a rate of 1.2 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the elevator floor on the woman's feet?
Question #3: Two people play tug of war. The 100-kg person on the left pulls with 1,200 N, and the 70-kg person on the right pulls with 800 N. Assume that neither person releases their grip on the rope with either hand at any time, assume that the rope is always taut, and assume that the rope does not stretch. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope in Newtons?
Question #4: A man pulls a 14-kg sled 44 meters along an angled hill with a force of 95 N, which elevates the man 30 meters above the bottom of the hill. The man then hops on his sled and slides to the bottom of the hill back along his 44 meter path, during which a 296 N…
