- If a 2 kg object is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface and subjected to a 13.7 N force in the positive x-direction over a distance of 3.25 meters, what will the object’s final speed be? Assume the answer in in m/s.While walking on water, an arctic wind freezes the water beneath your feet and you now find yourself stuck in the middle of a 15m diameter lake on top of a frictionless layer of ice. Unable to just walk off, you decide to push off your physics book with a force of 80.0N for 0.1s. How long in minutes will it take you to reach the shore if your mass is 75kg?Princess Leia once fell out of the spaceship. She came back with the Force. From the farthest spot (zero speed) back to the spaceship was 10 meters, and it took 4 second. She weighed 45 kg. Assume constant force during this trip. Find the force needed.

The magnitude of the force exerted by the girl on the woman is O 200 N O 100 N O 50 N O 40 N O 38 N zeroA bowling ball weighing 46.5 N initially moves at a speed of 5.10 m/s. How long must a force of 44.5 N be applied to the ball to stop it?The high-speed winds around a tornado can drive projectiles into trees, building walls, and even metal traffic signs. In a laboratory simulation, a standard wood toothpick was shot by pneumatic gun into an oak branch. The toothpick mass was 0.15 g, its speed before entering the branch was 212 m/s, and its penetration depth was 17 mm. If its speed was decreased at a uniform rate, what was the magnitude of the force of the branch on the toothpick? Number Units
- In the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incredible speeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” He does this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Is the physics of this scene “Good,”“Bad,” or “Ugly?” Draw and Explain.Air track: two objects tied together by a string. The figure shows a glider with mass my that moves on a level, frictionless air track in a physics lab. It is connected by a string passing over a small frictionless pulley to a hanging weight with total mass m₂. The string is light and flexible, and it doesn't stretch. (a) Find the acceleration of each object and the tension in the string. (b) What happens to the acceleration when m, is two times heavier than that of m₂? (c) Now my is four times heavier than that of m₂. Calculate the distance between it traveled during the initial period of two (2) seconds after the glider started moving. The tract is long enough for the travel. Show your work that leads to your answer. Explain each step in your work to explanation -quation WILIT TAt Ted's request, Bill pushes the pizza box across the granite countertop towards Ted. When the box leaves Bill's hand it is sliding at 2.60 m/s. The box comes to rest over a distance of 110 cm. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction, uk, between the pizza box and the countertop? (Ignore air drag.)
