FIGURE EX5.14 shows the acceleration of objects of different mass that experience the same force. What is the magnitude of the force?

Exercise 19 show two of the three forces acting on an object in equilibrium. Redraw the diagram, showing all three forces. Label the third force .

Problems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:
a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector and show it as a vector next to your diagram. Or, if appropriate, write
b. If possible, identify the direction of the velocity vector and show it as a labeled vector.c. Write a short description of a real object for which this is the
correct free-body diagram. Use Examples 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 as
models of what a description should be like.
Two rubber bands pulling on an object cause it to accelerate at.
a. What will be the object's acceleration if it is pulled by four rubber bands?
b. What will be the acceleration of two of these objects glued together if they are pulled by two rubber bands?
Redraw the two motion diagrams shown in the FIGURE , then draw a vector
beside each one to show the direction of the net force acting on the object.
Explain your reasoning.
