*57. D In attempting to pass the puck to a teammate, a hockey player gives it an initial speed of 1.7 m/s. However, this speed is inadequate to compensate for the kinetic friction between the puck and the ice. As a result, the puck travels only one-half the distance between the players before sliding to a halt. What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players?

Curling is a game similar to lawn bowling except it is played on ice and instead of rolling balls on the lawn, stones are slid along ice. A curler slides a stone across a sheet of ice with an initial speed vi in the positive x direction. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the stone and the curling lane is k. Express your answers in terms of vi, k, and g only. a. What is the acceleration of the stone as it slides down the lane? b. What distance does the curling stone travel?

The weight of a penny is 2.52.52.5 grams, and the upper observation deck of the Empire State Building is 369369369 meters above the street. Since the penny is a small and relatively smooth object, air resistance acting on the penny is actually quite small. We assume the air resistance is numerically equal to 0.0025v0.0025?0.0025v. Furthermore, the penny is dropped with no initial velocity imparted to it. a. Set up an initial-value problem that represents the falling penny. b. Solve the problem for v(t)?(?)v(t).…
