A person pushes sideways on a large crate sitting on the floor, but the crate does not move. Describe what you know about the other forces acting on the crate and the overall net force on the crate.

Two particles of masses m and 2m are placed on a smooth horizontal table. a string, which joins these two masses, hangs over the edge supporting a pulley, which suspends a particle of mass 3m.the pulley has negligible mass. the two parts of the string on the table are parallel and perpendicular to the edge of the table. the hanging parts of the string are vertical. find the acceleration of the particle of mass 3m.

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic energy? at what displacement, as a fraction of a, is the mechanical energy half kinetic and half potential?

Which of the following forces require physical contact? tension air resistance friction magnetic force applied force
