At the start of a race, a four-man bobsled team pushes their sled as fast as they can along a 50 m flat starting stretch. The net force that the four men together apply to the 325 kg bobsled is 964.079 N directed at 15 degrees below the horizontal. As they push, 60 N of kinetic friction opposes them. What is the speed of the sled right before the team jumps on the sled?

A box with mass m sits at the bottom of a long ramp thatis sloped upward at an angle a above the horizontal. You give the boxa quick shove, and after it leaves your hands it is moving up the rampwith an initial speed v0. The box travels a distance d up the ramp andthen slides back down. When it returns to its starting point, the speedof the box is half the speed it started with; it has speed v0 /2. What isthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp? (Youranswer should depend on only a.)
Dave with a mass of 60 kg goes tubing down a 20 m long hill that has an angle off the horizon of 25º. (Gravity applies) a. He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his initial velocity is 2 m/s. How far up the hill will he go before stopping? (there’s no friction) b. He goes back down the hill and then his friend Jill tries to pull him on the tube across a small patch of grass (μk=0.30). If she is pulling parallel to the ground at constant 5 m/s for 5 sec how much power does she expend? c. After climbing back uphill, Dave decided to roll down the hill instead. If he were to be a long cylinder with a radius of 0.1 m, what is his moment of inertia? d. After rolling without slipping down the hill, what is Dave’s final velocity at the bottom of the hill? What is his angular velocity at the bottom of the hill? Dave with a mass of 60 kg goes tubing down a 20 m long hill that has an angle off the horizon of 25º.

Sam, whose mass is 74.0 kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 220.0 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction wtih the snow of 0.07. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 11.5 seconds. What Sam's top speed (in m/s) assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2? How far (in m) has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?
Laila, who is a part of a critical patient's medical team was responsible for pushing a cart including a transport organ box containing a viable heart and other medical supplies needed for a heart transplant. In a rush, she pushed the 60.0 kg cart (this includes the supplies in it) down the long OR hallway. With the cart accelerating at 4.00 m/s/s with a force of 550 N, how much friction is acting on the cart + equipment due to its mass?
A parachutist relies on air resistance to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 55kg, air resistance exerts a total upward force of 600N on her and her parachute. What is the acceleration of the parachutist.
Two horses pull a cart with a total applied force of 1000N. The kinetic friction from the gravel road has a value of 375 N. Assuming the cart is 200kg, what is the acceleration of it?The road is flat and the horses are traveling in a straight path.
A 83 kg man is running across a sheet of ice at a speed of 2.6 m/s. He tries to stop abruptly, but keep sliding. The ice exerts a frictional force of 10 N to slow them down. How far do they travel before stopping? Use a dynamic appoach.
A woman pulls a sled with her son (total mass of 80 kg) with a force of 18O N angled at 20° from the horizontal. The woman is able to move the sled 5 m along the horizontal. What is the sled's velocity after it has moved 5 m, assuming that it started from rest and there is no friction?
A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
A 91 kg janitor wearing running shoes is running across an ice rink at a speed of 3.2 m/s. They try to stop abruptly, but keep sliding across the surface of the ice. The ice exerts a frictional force of 13.4 N to slow them down. How far do they travel before halting to a stop?
A force of 1.50 N acts on a 0.20-kg carts so as to uniformly accelerate it along a straight air track. The track and force are horizontal and in line. How fast is the cart going after acceleration from rest through 30 cm, if friction is negligible?
An 85 kg man lowers himself to the ground from a height of 10.0 m by holding onto a rope that runs over a frictionless pulley to a 65 kg sandbag. With what speed does the man hit the ground if he started from rest?
