7. An airplane of mass 1.5x104 kg moves horizontally at a speed of 60.0 m/s. The
pilot then increases the engine's thrust to 7.50 x104 N. The air resistance is
4.00x104 N. Find the speed of the airplane after it has traveled 5.00x10² m
horizontally while maintaining a constant altitude.
A motor exerts F = 20t2 N on the cable which pulls a crate (m = 25 kilos) towards the right. Variable t (time) is in seconds. After 4 seconds, what should be the velocity of the crate? Coefficients for friction are 0.3 (static) and 0.25 (kinetic).
An airliner of mass 1.70 * 105 kg lands at a speed of 75.0 m>s. As it travels along the runway, the combined effects of air resistance, friction from the tires, and reverse thrust from the engines produce a constant force of 2.90 * 105 N opposite to the airliner’s motion. What distance along the runway does the airliner travel before coming to a halt?
