A 0.5 kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external force of 3.0 N, acting always tangent to the track, causes the object to speed up as it goes around. If it starts from rest, its speed at the end of one revolution is:

A truck is traveling at 11.1m / s down a hill when the brakes on all four wheels lock. The hill makes an angle of 15.0 with respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.750 How far does the truck skid before coming to a stop?

A hockey puck with mass 0.162 kg is pushed across the ice with a constant force of 0.90 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.14. After a distance of 3.0 m, what is the puck's speed in m/s?
