A person pushes horizontally with a force of 221 N on a 55.0 kg crate to move it to the right across a level floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.350. What is the magnitude of (a) the frictional force and (b) the crate's acceleration? The directions of the four forces and the acceleration must be identified. Make a free-body diagram. Please use the blue vector to specify forces and the pink vector for acceleration. Please make sure to label each vectors. The labels should none, mg, fk, a, FN, or Fpushing.
During your winter break, you enter a sled race. You push the sled with a force of 210 N at 30.0° below the horizontal as shown. The mass of the sled (and your nephew sitting on it) is 35.0 kg. The coefficients of friction between the sled and icy surface are us = 0.35 and uk = 0.20. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the sled, in m/s2? Use g = 10.0 m/s?.

A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be independently adjusted. When the engines are fired simultaneously and each applies its force in the same direction, the probe, starting from rest, takes 26.8 s to travel a certain distance. How long does it take to travel the same distance, again starting from rest, if the engines are fired simultaneously and the forces that they apply to the probe are perpendicular? Number i Units
