A group of students carry out an experiment in which they want to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between a box and a table. For this, a wooden box is used that has a mass of 250 gr and additional masses that are placed on top. The box is pulled and the force at which it moves at constant speed is measured. Determine: a) The normal force when the box had no masses on top and when masses were placed on top of the box.

One great form of athletic competition for bulldogs, American pit bull terriers, huskies, and many other breeds is the weight pull. Many of these dogs can pull weights two orders of magnitude greater than their own weight! Railsplitter, an American pit bull terrier, can pull a sled that has a total weight of 2215 lb along a horizontal surface. Suppose he pulls with a horizontal force of 3.50 103 N while friction is also working against the sled. If the magnitude of the net acceleration of the sled is 0.152 m/s2, find the value of the coefficient of kinetic friction, k, between the sled and the pulling surface. (The sled is normally on a set of rails.)
A 75.0-g arrow, fired at a speed of 110 m/s to the left, impacts a tree, which it penetrates to a depth of 12.5 cm before coming to a stop. Assuming the force of friction exerted by the tree is constant, what are the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the arrow?

A net (unbalanced) external force of 100.0 N acts on an object of mass 20.0 kg whose initial speed is 10.0 m/s. The force acts in the opposite direction from the object's motion, and it acts for 1.00 s. What is the object's final speed, in m/s?
If there are no non-conservative forces to worry about, what is the magnitude of the applied force needed to keep an object moving at a constant velocity? Assume the mass of the object is m and its velocity is v.
A bicyclist of mass 68 kgkg (including the bicycle) can coast down a 6.1 ∘∘ hill at a steady speed of 6.0 km/hkm/h because of air resistance. How much force must be applied to climb the hill at the same speed (and the same air resistance)? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A crate with a mass of m=254kg rests on the horizontal deck of a ship. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the deck is μs=0.83. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.47. Write an expression for the magnitude of the force, Fv, that must be applied to keep the block moving at a constant velocity.
