A 1100-kg car is being driven up a 8.91 ° hill. The frictional force is directed opposite to the motion of the car and has a magnitude of 511 N. A force F is applied to the car by the road and propels the car forward. In addition to these two forces, two other forces act on the car: its weight W and the normal force FN directed perpendicular to the road surface. The length of the road up the hill is 332 m. What should be the magnitude of F, so that the net work done by all the forces acting on the car is 173 kJ?

A pendulum consists of a small object hanging from the ceiling at the end of a string of negligible mass. The string has a length of 0.79 m. With the string hanging vertically, the object is given an initial velocity of 2.8 m/s parallel to the ground and swings upward in a circular arc. Eventually, the object comes to a momentary halt at a point where the string makes an angle with its initial vertical orientation and then swings back downward. Find the angle 0. Number i Units
An object of mass m = 2.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction. It is initially at rest and starts moving under a net force of F = (3N)i + (4N)j. What is the object's speed in m/s after moving 1 meter?
Problem 2. A bobsleigh 4-man crew accelerates their vehicle to V0=5 m/s before jumping into it and sliding down the racetrack. The total mass of the vehicle and crew is m=630 kg. The runners are made of steel and the kinetic friction coefficient between steel and snow is 0.05. The length of the racetrack is L=1,300m and its vertical drop from start to end is H=115m. a) Ignoring friction and air resistance, what would be the final speed of the bobsleigh at the bottom of the racetrack in m/s, km/h, mph? Does this result depend on the shape of the racetrack? b) Ignoring air resistance but accounting for friction, what would be the final speed of the bobsleigh at the bottom of the racetrack in m/s, km/h, mph? Assume a straight linear racetrack.
