Energy Conservation With Nonconservative Forces: A heavy sled and a light sled, both moving horizontally with the same speed, suddenly slide onto a rough patch of snow and eventually come to a stop. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the rough snow is the same for both of them. Which of the following statements about these sleds are correct? (There could be more than one correct choice.) Check all that apply. The light sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the heavy sled. The friction from the snow will do more negative work on the heavy sled than on the light sled. The friction from the snow will do the same amount of work on both sleds. Both sleds will slide the same distance on the rough snow before stopping. The heavy sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the light sled.

Suppose that Zak's younger cousin, Greta, sees him sliding across the hall and takes off her shoes so that she can slide as well (assume her socks have the coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.250). Instead of getting a running start, she asks Zak to give her a push. So, Zak pushes her with a force of 125 N over a distance of 1.00 m. If her mass is 20.0 kg, what distance d does she slide after Zak's push ends? Remember that the frictional force acts on Greta during Zak's push and while she is sliding after the push.
A car that weighs 1.30 * 104 N is initially moving at 40 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a stop in 15 m. Assuming the force that stops the car is constant, find (a) the magnitude of that force and (b) the time required for the change in speed. If the initial speed is doubled, and the car experiences the same force during the braking, by what factors are (c) the stopping distance and (d) the stopping time multiplied? (There could be a lesson here about the danger of driving at high speeds.)

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 24 ∘∘ angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 58 kgkg and that you're pulling with a force of 84 NN .
A little toy car is powered by a CO2 cartridge that produces a thrust force according to the following function: Fthrust(t) = 6.0N e-0.2t. The car also has a friction coefficient of 0.05 due to the wheels and bearings. If the car's mass is 1.2kg, and the car travels in the +x direction, what will it's acceleration function look like as a function of time? If it starts from rest, what will vx(t) be? How fast will the car be going after 3.0s? What maximum speed will be reached by the car?
