1. True and False questions: objects and also on the same line of action)
a- Two equal and opposite forces are necessarily a pair of action and reaction forces.
b- If a zero net force is applied on an object, then this object can be only at rest. motion with a constant velocity
c- The coefficient of static friction depends on the area between the surfaces in contact. False
2. What is the magnitude of the net force required to cause a 28000 kg jet plane to accelerate at a rate of
10 m s -2 . = =28000 ×10 =2.8×105
tf 3. A hovercraft is propelled with a 5000 𝑁 force in the east direction in a windy day. Wind exerts a force of
magnitude 1000 𝑁 in north east direction (at an angle 45o). Find the net force applied on the hovercraft.
