An elevator has a mass of 2,000 kg.  An upward force of 21,000 Newtons is applied to the elevator. The elevator travels up 50 floors, and each floor is 2.5 meters tall, with a 20 centimeter gap between floors. How long does it take the elevator to arrive, and at what speed will it be traveling?

A 1000-kg car moving north at 100km/h brakes to a stop in 50m. What are the magnitude and direction of the force?

 

A car accelerates from 10 m/s to 50 m/s while traveling 400 m. The mass of the car is 1500 kg. What force was applied to the car?

Four passengers with mass 85 kg apiece are added to the problem above, how much would that change the force required?

A 6000 kg tractor rests on a flatbed, held in place by chains. The chains provide a maximum horizontal force of 8000 N. When the flatbed is traveling 20 m/s, what is the minimum stopping distance if the chains are not to break?

If a force accelerates 4.5 kg at 40 m/s², that same force would accelerate 18 kg by how much?

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between a 35 kg crate and the floor is .30, what horizontal force is required to move the crate at a steady speed across the floor? What horizontal force is required if µ_k is zero?

A force is applied to a 1000 kg car, and causes the car to accelerate from 0 m/s to 25 m/s while traveling 200 m. The same force is applied to a 600kg motorcycle.  How far will the motorcycle travel while accelerating from 10 m/s to 40 m/s?

After Luke Skywalker got his X-Wing fighter out of the swamp on Dagobah, he wanted to make it fly. The mass of the ship is 5,000 kg. Luke applies (using the force) an upward force of x Newtons. Yoda, who doesn't want Luke to get too confident, applies a downward force which is two-thirds of Luke's force.

Luke's Skywalker X-Wing fighter lifts off to a height of 2 km in 5 seconds. How much force did Luke apply?

I would like to get from City A to City B, which are 200 miles apart, in the shortest amount of time, given the stipulation that I don't want to experience a force more than 4 times the force of gravity. What is shortest amount of time this trip can take?

Jamal is pulling a 4,900 N box with a force of 500 N. Jakob is pulling in the opposite direction with a force of 350 N. How fast will the box be moving after 5 seconds?

A 5.0 kg missle is projected from rest to a speed of 4.5 x 10³ m/s. How much time is required to do this by a net force of 5.3 x 10⁵ N?
