Chapter 2, Problem 78TE
In Figure 2.13, we see Marie pushing horizontally on a table that slides across the floor at constant velocity. If she pushed with the same amount of force but directed downward a bit, how would the amount of friction of the table legs with the floor be affected? Defend your answer.

Two ice skaters stand together as illustrated in ● Fig. 3.28. They “push off” and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of 0.50 m/s to the left. If the boy weighs 735 N and the girl weighs 490 N, what is the girl’s velocity after they push off? (Consider the ice to be frictionless.)
An aircraft catapult launches an F-22 from 0 to 180 mph in a distance 150 m. How many g’s did the pilot experience? (If more than 6 g than this catapult killed the pilot…) How long did it take to get up to speed?
Two blocks are connected by a string, as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The smooth inclined surface makes an angle of 35 ∘ with the horizontal, and the block on the incline has a mass of 5.7 kg. The mass of the hanging block is m = 3.1 kg.
