A 35.0-kg dolphin decelerates from 12.0 to 7.50 m/ s in 2.30 s to join another dolphin in play. What average force was exerted to slow the first dolphin if it was moving horizontally? (The gravitational force is balanced by the buoyant force of the water.)
Choose the best answer. A car traveling at constant speed has a net force of zero acting on it. (a) True (b) False (c) The answer depends on the motion.
A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 20.0-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 75.0-N horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 60.0 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor.
