A car has a mass of 1500 kg. If the driver applies the brakes while on a gravel road, the maximum friction force that the tires can provide without skidding is about 7000 N. If the car is moving at 20 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which the car can stop safely?
a 2000-kg car initially at rest is held by a friction force that can resist up to 1200 N. If the person can push with a force of 500 N, how many seconds will it take for the car to reach a speed of 1 m/sec?
A 580 N skydiver in free fall is accelerating at -8.8 m/s^2 rather than -9.81 m/s^2 because of the force of air resistance. How much drag force is acting on the skydiver?
