What is the magnitude of the resultantforce on the 1600 kg driver and his car ifthe car does not slip?Answer in units of kN.
The Special Olympics raises money through “plane pull” events in which teams of 25 people compete to see who can pull a 74,000 kg airplane 3.7 m across the tarmac. The inertia of the plane is an issue—but so is the 14,000 N rolling friction force that works against the teams. If a team pulls with a constant force and moves the plane 3.7 m in 6.1 s (an excellent time), what fraction of the team’s work goes to kinetic energy and what fraction goes to thermal energy?
