A car is stuck in the mud! In an effort to free it, a person pushes on the back of the car with a force of 60 N [forward], while a tow truck pulls on the car with a force of 549 N [forward]. The frictional force on the car, though, is 41N [backward]. Does the car come free? Justify your answer by showing your solution.

Two thieves want to steal a 1mx1mx1m Lazada Mystery Box worth of 1million pesos that is placed on a warehouse with a cemented floor. When they successfully break into the warehouse using a bobby pin they realize that they both cannot carry the 400 lb package, so they decided to push it out of the warehouse. If the untouched package and the cemented floor has a coefficient of friction of 0.400, what is the maximum amount of force they first need to exert in order to make the package move when they will: A) push the package with their hands 90 degree with the vertical wall of the box. B) push the package with their hands in 120 degree with the vertical wall of the package. C) When they decided to pull the box instead and their hands are in 120 degree with the top edge of the box.

The two barges shown here are coupled by a cable of negligible mass. The mass of the front barge is 2.00 × 103 kg and the mass of the rear barge is 3.00 × 103 kg. A tugboat pulls the front barge with a horizontal force of magnitude 20.0 × 103 N, and the frictional forces of the water on the front and rear barges are 8.00 × 103 N and 10.0 × 103 N, respectively. Find the horizontal acceleration of the barges and the tension in the connecting cable.
An impala is an African antelope capable of a remarkable vertical leap. In one recorded leap, a 45 kg impala went into a deep crouch, pushed straight up for 0.21 s, and reached a height of 2.5 m above the ground. To achieve this vertical leap, with what force did the impala push down on the ground? What is the ratio of this force to the antelope’s weight?
