Three forces act on a 5-kg object: F1 = -2.0i + 3.0j N, F2 = 5.0i + 3.5j N, and F3 =
0.5i- 1.0j N. Assuming the object starts at rest at to = 0, write its velocity as a function of
time.
From a standstill, a 77.0 kg basketball player bends their knees and pushes against the floor andextends legs vertically 30.0 cm before jumping vertically off the ground and reaches a maximumheight of 25.0 inches above the ground. Assume the force the floor exerts on the player is constant.What is the force the floor exerts on the player? Give answer in lbs. (Let 4.45 N = 1 lb., 1 inch = 2.54 cm)
A 1250 kg boat is traveling at 90 km/h when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of the frictional force fk between boat and water is proportional to the speed v of the boat. Thus, fk = 80v, where v is in meters per second and fk (the magnitude of the frictional force) is in newtons. Find the time required for the boat to slow down to 45 km/h.
