rope exert? (2.36 x 103 N)

acceleration is 3 100 N, what is the mass of the car? (780 kg)

of approach before releasing the ball. What force is exerted on the ball during this time? (75 N)

4. A high jumper, falling at 4.0 m/s, lands on a foam pit and comes to rest, compressing the pit 0.4
m. If the pit is able to exert a net force of 1200 N on the high jumper in breaking the fall, what is
the jumper’s mass? (60 kg)
