A packing crate with mass 80.0 kg is at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. At t = 0 a net horizontal force in the +x-direction is applied to the crate. The force has a constant value of 80.0 N for 12.0 s and then decreases linearly with time so it becomes zero after an additional 6.00 s.
What is the final speed of the crate, 18.0 s after the force was first applied?
A high jumper with a body weight of 820 N exerts an average vertical force of 1640 N down on the floor for 0.75 s. The average vertical force exerted on the jumper by the floor is:
A force of {N} pushes a 16-kg shopping cart (parallel to a horizontal surface) for a time of 10 seconds. If the cart was initially at rest, what is the final speed?

- The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less.
