Forces

This document is a physics worksheet that contains 6 problems related to forces: 1) Calculating the vertical component of a force pulling on a tent peg at an angle. 2) Calculating the mass and weight of an astronaut on the moon and mars. 3) Calculating the weight of a mass on a planet with twice the gravitational field strength of another. 4) Calculating the driving force and acceleration of a motorcycle with added passenger mass. 5) Calculating the force felt by a passenger in an accelerating lift. 6) Calculating the tension force in a string suspending a picture.

(b) What will be her weight on Mars, where g=3.73N/kg. 7. The diagram shows a free–body force diagram for an aircraft flying along
a straight path and climbing at constant speed.
3. On a particular planet, a mass of 8kg has a weight of 28N.On
another planet with twice the gravitational field strength, what is the
weight of a 16kg mass?

4. A motorcycle with rider has a mass of 520kg and accelerates at
