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 68.3-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 52.6° above the horizontal. The cannon uses strong elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching the bands by 2.00 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is the same as that of the net into which he is shot. He takes 2.38 s to travel the horizontal distance of 21.3 m between this point and the net. Ignore friction and air resistance and determine the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism.

In order to stop a 15.0 kilogram block from sliding down a frictionless 40.0° incline, a powerful spring with k = 2.90 104 N/m is used. Blocks can travel up to 3.00 meters after they are released from their resting place against springs. How much of the spring's original tension will remain after the block comes to a halt?
Answer correctly the question: An m=3.84kg block situated on a rough incline is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of k=100. N/m. The pulley is frictionless and massless. The block starts at rest at the position where the spring is unstretched. The block moves 15.1 cm down the incline before coming to rest. Take θ=38.8 as the angle. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and incline. The answer is not 0.29
