11. The coefficient of static friction between a brick and a table is higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. Which of the following statements is true for any horizontal applied force? (a) the force required to get the brick to move is greater than the force required to keep it moving at a constant velocity. (b) the force required to get the brick to move is less than the force required to keep it moving at a constant velocity. (c) the force required to get the brick to move is equal to the force required to keep it moving at a constant velocity. (d) the force required to move the brick and keep it moving at a constant velocity will change if the brick is flipped over.

Describe two examples in which the force of friction exerted on an object is in the direction of motion of the object.
If a leg is suspended by a traction setup as shown in Figure 4.30, what is the tension in the rope? Figure 4.30 A leg is suspended by a traction system in which wires are used to transmit forces. Frictionless pulleys change the direction of the force T without changing its magnitude.
If a constant, nonzero force is applied to an object, what can you say about the velocity and acceleration of the object?
A student decides to move a box of books into her dormitory room by pulling on a rope attached to the box. She pulls with a force of 80.0 N at an angle of 25.0 above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 25.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between box and floor is 0.300. (a) Find the acceleration of the box. (b) The student now starts moving the box up a 10.0 incline, keeping her 80.0 N force directed at 25.0 above the line of the incline. If the coefficient of friction is unchanged, what is the new acceleration of the box?
A horse is harnessed to a sled having a mass of 236 kg, including supplies. The horse must exert a force exceeding 1 240 N at an angle of 35.0 in order to get the sled moving. Treat the sled as a point particle, (a) Calculate the normal force on the sled when the magnitude of the applied force is 1 240 N. (b) Find the coefficient of static friction between the sled and the ground beneath it. (c) Find the static friction force when the horse is exerting a force of 6.20 102 N on the sled at the same angle.
What is the unbalanced force acting on a moving car with a constant velocity of 25 m/s (56 mi/h)?
Suppose your friend is sitting on a sled and asks you to move her across a flat, horizontal field. You have a choice of (a) pushing her from behind by applying a force downward on her shoulders at 30 below the horizontal (Fig. 4.22a) or (b) attaching a rope to the front of the sled and pulling with a force at 30 above the horizontal (Fig. 4.22b). Which option would be easier and why?
By what factor does the drag force on a car increase as it goes from 65 to 110 km/h?
