Newton Forces Worksheet

This document provides 10 practice problems involving Newton's laws of motion and forces. For each problem, students are asked to draw a free body diagram labeling all forces acting on the object and list the relevant variables. The problems cover concepts such as calculating weight given acceleration, determining net force, calculating tension in a rope, and finding acceleration when given forces and coefficients of friction.

Newton Forces Worksheet

For each problem, list the variables and draw a free body diagram and label all forces acting on object.

1. A 20 N force gives a stone an acceleration of 4 m/s2. What is the weight of the stone?

2. A 5 kg rocket is acted upon by an upward force of 59 N due to the thrust produced by its engines.
What is the rocket's weight? Draw the free-body diagram representing these forces. What is the
net force? What acceleration does it cause?

3. A rope attached to an 80 N wagon pulls it horizontally to the right with an acceleration of 0.5 m/s2.
What is the mass of the wagon? What is the net force causing this acceleration?

4. A 65 N boy sits on a sled weighing 52 N on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction


between the sled and the snow is 0.012. What is the magnitude of the frictional force? The sled is
pulled at constant speed by a rope held horizontally. What is the tension (the pull) in the rope?
5. A 100 N force is applied to a 10 kg box to push it across a horizontal surface. A frictional force of
20 N exists. What is the acceleration of the box?

6. An object weighing 40 N rests on a surface. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the
object is 0.35. What is the frictional force between the object and the surface? A 20 N force is
applied to pull the object horizontally. What is the magnitude of the net force? What is the
acceleration of the box?

7. A man pulls a 300 N object across a horizontal surface using a 100 N force applied at a 35° angle.
What is the normal force? If the object is pulled with an acceleration of 2 ms-2, what is the
coefficient of friction?
8. A man pulls a 80 N object across a horizontal surface using a 50 N force applied at a 25° angle.
What is the normal force? If the coefficient of friction is 0.3, what is the acceleration of the object?

9. A man now pushes a 200 N object across a horizontal surface using a 100 N force applied at a 35°
angle. What is the normal force? If the object is pulled with an acceleration of 2 ms-2, what is the
coefficient of friction?

10. A man pushes a 80 N object across a horizontal surface using a 50 N force applied at a 25° angle.
What is the normal force? If the coefficient of friction is 0.3, what is the acceleration of the object?
