A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 80.0N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves 20.0 m in the first 9.00 s. What is the mass of the block of ice?
A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 71.0N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves a distance 10.5m in a time of 4.80s.
What is the mass of the block of ice? If the worker stops pushing after 4.80s, how far does the block move in the next 5.40s?
A waitress shoves a ketchup bottle with mass 0.45 kg to her right along a smooth, level lunch counter. The bottle leaves her hand moving at 2.8 m/s, then slows down as it slides because of a constant horizontal friction force exerted on it by the countertop. It slides for 1.0 m before coming to rest. What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the bottle?
