Directions – List all the variables, write the correct formula, substitute
the numbers, solve the problem and use the correct label.
Formulas to use:
F = MxA
M = F/A
A = F/M
W = MxG
M = W/G
G = W/M

Using this additional formula, solve the following Net force problems below:
Net force = Applied force – Opposing force (Nf = Af – Of)
9. An applied force of 74 N is used to move an 8 kg mass. The opposing
forces equal 10 N.

B. What is the acceleration of the mass due to this force?
10.
A. What net force gives an acceleration of 12 m/sec² to a 950 kg boat?
B. If the opposing force to overcome water friction and air resistance was
700 N, what was the applied force used to move the boat?
