6. A 970-kg car starts from rest on a horizontal roadway and accelerates eastward for 5.00 s
when it reaches a speed of 25.0 m/s. What is the average force exerted on the car during this
time? [4.85 kN eastward]
7. The force exerted by the wind on the sails of a sailboat is 390 N towards North. The water
exerts a force of 180 N towards East. If the boat (including its crew) has a mass of 270 kg,
2
what are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration? [ a 1.59 m/s at 65.2 N of E ]
