Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right!! The only force acting on a 1.7 kg body as it moves along the positive x axis has an x component Fx = -4x N, where x is in meters. The velocity of the body at x = 2.6 m is 9.6 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the body at x = 4.7 m? (b) At what positive value of x will the body have a velocity of 6.0 m/s?
Please help thanks! (a) When rebuilding his car's engine, a physics major must continuously exert 3.74 ✕ 102 N of force to insert a dry steel piston as it slides into a steel cylinder.

A person doing a chin-up weighs 670 N, exclusive of the arms. During the first 29.0 cm of the lift, each arm exerts an upward force of 365 N on the torso. If the upward movement starts from rest, what is the person's velocity at this point? (Enter the magnitude only.)
I was given this problem, and I don't really know what to do about the fact that the normal force doesn't equal the weight for this problem. How am I supposed to find the kinetic friction coefficient now? A box of mass 2,463g is on level ground being pulled by a force of 6.41N at angle 47.2 above horizontal. If the block is moving with a constant velocity, what is the kinetic friction coefficient? (Hint: the normal force does not always equal the weight; it does not in this case.)
A 525 N block is on a rough, horizontal surface with an applied horizontal force as shown in Figure 1. (a) If a force of 295N is required to start the block in motion, what is the coefficient of static friction, us? (b) If force of 205 N is required to maintain the block at constant velocity, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction, uk?
