Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the drive force is shut off, the snowmobile coasts to a halt. The snowmobile and its rider have a mass of 138 kg. Under the influence of a drive force of 240 N, it is moving at a constant velocity whose magnitude is 5.44 m/s. The drive force is then shut off. Find (a) the distance in which the snowmobile coasts to a halt and (b) the time required to do so.

A man pushing a crate of mass m = 92.0 kg at a speed of v = 0.855 m/s encounters a rough horizontal surface of length ℓ = 0.65 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and rough surface is 0.357 and he exerts a constant horizontal force of 277 N on the crate, find the magnitude and direction of the net force on the crate while it is on the rough surface.
The diagram shows the all of the forces acting on a body of mass 3.13 kg. The three forces have magnitudes F1 = 59.2 N, F2 = 27.7 N, and F3 = 74.4 N, with directions as indicted in the diagram, where θ = 55.8 degrees and φ = 21.4 degrees. The dashed lines are parallel to the x and y axes. At t = 0, the body is moving at a speed of 5.29 m/s in the positive x direction. 1.)What are the x and y components of the acceleration in m/s2?
The engines of a tanker broke down and the wind pushes the ship with a constant speed of 1.5 m / s straight towards a reef. When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less. The retarding force that the water exerts on the hull of the ship can be neglected. a) The equation of motion that corresponds to the horizontal component is? b)The acceleration of the ship is equal to? c) If the reef does not exist, the vessel, before stopping, travels what distance?

Read the scenario. A cyclist is riding his bike at a constant speed of 5 m/s, and experiences a frictional force between the bike and sidewalk of 100 N. The cyclist then changes his speed to 10 m/s. What effect does this increase in speed have on the frictional force between the bike and sidewalk? A) The frictional force doubles because when speed increases frictional force also increases. The frictional force doubles because when speed increases frictional force also increases. B) The frictional force becomes half of what it was because when speed increases, frictional force decreases. The frictional force becomes half of what it was because when speed increases, frictional force decreases. C) The frictional force between the bike and sidewalk stays the same because speed does not affect frictional force.

Two blocks (m1=5.2 kg, m2=3.6 kg), initially held at rest, are connected by a string that passes through a massless pulley as shown in the Figure.
