A 91 kg janitor wearing running shoes is running across an ice rink at a
speed of 3.2 m/s. They try to stop abruptly, but keep sliding across the
surface of the ice. The ice exerts a frictional force of 13.4 N to slow them
down. How far do they travel before halting to a stop?
A runner of mass 51.1 kg starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration of 0.8 m/s2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.8m/s. She then continues running at this constant velocity. How long in seconds does the runner take to travel 139 m?
Ken and Barbie are skating together on a rink at 3.00 m/s.
Ken keeps asking Barbie how much she weights. Annoyed, Barbie pushes away from Ken so that she speeds up to 4.0 m/s and he slows down to 2.25 m/s in the same direction. Assuming that the friction is negligible, if Ken's mass is 70 kg, what is Barbie's mass?
