1. A block rests on a horizontal table. Which of the following statements is TRUE? (a) The acceleration of the block is g. (b) The normal force by the table and the weight of the block are a Newton’s third law pair. (c) The weight of the block is a force exerted by the block on the table. (d) The normal force by the table and the weight of the block have the same magnitude because of Newton’s second law. (e) The weight of the block is not a force. 2. You are drawing water out of a 20m well. You are pulling on a rope with a force of 50 N at an angle of 30˚ below the horizontal. A bucket is attached to the end of the rope weighing 3kg. What is the acceleration of the bucket and what is the speed of the bucket as it leaves the well?

2. You are drawing water out of a 20m well. You are pulling on a rope with a force of 50 N at an angle of

30˚ below the horizontal. A bucket is attached to the end of the rope weighing 3kg. What is the

acceleration of the bucket and what is the speed of the bucket as it leaves the well?

3. A car has stalled on the train tracks. The driver of the vehicle hears a 123,000kg train coming down

the tracks at a speed of 45m/s. Superman flies down and impacts the train 70m away from the car.

What force must Superman apply to the train in order to stop it right before it contacts the car.

4. Yoda is training Luke Skywalker to become a Jedi. To prove to Luke that size and power are

independent Yoda lifts an X-wing fighter out of a swap using the force. The fighter weighs 8500kg and

the water has a resistance force of 10,000N and a depth of 6m. It takes 12s for Yoda to lift the fighter

out of the water. Find the force Yoda exerts on the fighter.

5. The Eagles are playing the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. A player weighing 68 kg and collides by another

player who weighs 100kg. Who exerts the larger force on the other player? Whose magnitude of

acceleration is larger?

6. Bruce Lee is fighting a worthy opponent. Lee strikes the challenger in the chest launching him into the

wall behind him. If the opponent weighs 78 kg and impacts the wall with an acceleration of 6m/s2, how
