An iceboat is at rest on a frictionless frozen lake when a sudden wind exerts a constant force of 200 N, toward the east, on the boat. Due to the angle of the sail, the wind causes the boat to slide in a straight line for a distance of 9.3 m in a direction 26° north of east. What is the kinetic energy of the iceboat at the end of that 9.3 m? Number i Units

Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 62.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate from 2.00 to 8.00 m/s in a distance of 25.0 m, if he encounters a headwind that exerts an average force of 30.0 N against him. (Enter a number.) N
A 2.46 kg block moves along a frictionless surface with a speed of 7.83 m/s when it encounters a rough shallow hill, whose sides have a length of l=5.21 m. The hill is low enough so that the block can make it over the hill. Because the surface of the hill is rough (shown in orange in the figure), the block experiences a frictional force of 2.23 N while on the hill. a) What is the speed of the block after it traverses the hill?

As a sailboat sails 53 m due north, a breeze exerts a constant force F₁ on the boat's sails. This force is directed at an angle west of due north. A force F₂ of the same magnitude directed due north would do the same amount of work on the sailboat over a distance of just 40 m. What is the angle between the direction of F₁ and due north?

You are working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar (which simulates the oars) toward you, it moves a distance of 1.20 m in a time of 1.80 s. The readout on the display indicates that the average power you are producing is 102 W. What is the magnitude of the force that you exert on the handle? i 3
Current Attempt in Progress In the figure here, a block of ice slides down a frictionless ramp at angle 0-59.0° while an ice worker pulls on the block (via a rope) with a force that has a magnitude of 53.0 N and is directed up the ramp. As the block slides down through distance d = 0.600 m along the ramp, its kinetic energy increases by 80.0 J. How much greater would its kinetic energy have been if the rope had not been attached to the block? Number Unit
A 2 kg block is placed at rest on a frictionless incline that is angled 25 degrees. It is released and slides 30.0 cm (distance s) along the incline before reaching the floor. The floor exerts a kinetic friction force, F, of 1 N on the block. a. What is the total work done on the block? b. How far does the block slide (distance x) on the flat section of the floor (different from s) before it stops?

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1000 kg, which is required to travel upward 52 m in 2.5 min, starting and ending at rest. The elevator's counterweight has a mass of only 940 kg, so the elevator motor must help pull the cab upward. What average power is required of the force the motor exerts on the cab via the cable?
