A car has a mass of 1 200 kg. A very strong weightlifter attempts, unsuccessfully, to lift the car by applying an upward force o
f 2 500 N. What is the normal force acting on the car as the weightlifter is applying this force? Be sure to include a force diagram in your answer.

Answer: 170.67 N
Explanation:
Given
Mass of skier is
Height of the inclination is
Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.
Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.
Answer:
(a) 0 (b)
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a supertanker,
The engine of a generate a forward thrust of,
(a) As the supertanker is moving with a constant velocity. We need to find the magnitude of the resistive force exerted on the tanker by the water. It is given by :
F = ma, a is the acceleration
For constant velocity, a = 0
So, F = 0
(b) The magnitude of the upward buoyant force exerted on the tanker by the water is equal to the weight of the ship.
F = mg
Hence, this is the required solution.
