Put a pipe over the end of a wrench when trying to turn a stubborn nut on a bolt, to effectively make the wrench handle twice as long, you’ll multiply the torque by

A 0.125 kg frozen hamburger patty has two forces acting on it that determine its horizontal motion. A 2.30 N force pushes it to the left, and a 0.800 N force pushes it to the right. (a) Taking right to be positive, what is its acceleration?

Two identical charges, 2.0m apart, exert forces of magnitude 4.0N on each other. The value of either charge is: (K = 8.9 x10 9 N m2/C2)

The term “mass” refers to the same physical concept as:

A small car meshes with a large truck in a head-on collision.  Which one undergoes the greater change in momentum?

If you push an object twice as far while applying the same force, you do

You throw a ball straight up.  Compare the sign of the work done by gravity while the ball goes up with the sign of the work done by gravity while it goes down.
