1. When the net force that acts on a hockey puck is 10 N, the puck accelerates at a rate of 50 m/s^2. Determine the mass of the puck.

2. A 15-N net force is applied for 6.0 s to a 12-kg box initially at rest. What is the speed of the box at the end of the 6.0-s interval?

3. A 810-kg car accelerates from rest to 27 m/s in a distance of 120 m. What is the magnitude of the average net force acting on the car?

4. Two forces act on a 16-kg object. The first force has a magnitude of 68 N and is directed 24 degrees north of east. The second force is 32 N, 48 degrees north of west. What is the acceleration of the object resulting from the action of these two forces?

5. Two forces act on a 4.5-kg block resting on a frictionless surface as shown. What is the magnitude of the horizontal acceleration of the block?
