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.)
Q2 As illustrated in Fig., consider two workers who are trying to move a block. Assume that both workers
are applying equal magnitude forces of 100 N. One of the workers is pushing the block toward the north
and the other worker is pushing it toward the east. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net force
applied by the workers on the block.
