- 2. A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 100.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves a distance of 25 m in a time of 5.0 s. What is the mass of the block of ice? If the worker stops pushing after 5.0 s, how far does the block move in the next 4.0 s ?arrow_forward2. A 15 kg box sits atop a 25 kg box inside an elevator. If the elevator was accelerating downwards at 3 m/s², how much force would you have to push the 25 kg box so that the 15 kg box falls off? Assume that there is no friction between the 25 kg box and the floor, and µs 0.6 between the 15 kg and 25 kg box.arrow_forward24. A pickup truck with mass 980 kg is initially at rest.
