The velocity of a body of mass 20 kg increases from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in a distance of 100 m.
The force exerted on the body is
A shopper in a supermarket pushes a loaded cart with a horizontal force of 10 N. The cart has a mass of 30 kg. (a) Ignoring friction, how far will it move in 3 s, starting from rest? (b) How far will it move in 3 s if the shopper places his 30 N child in the cart before he begins to push it?
He continues on for a while until he encounters a 500. kg boulder blocking his way. He puffs up his chest, crouches a bit, and begins to push horizontally with a force of 2,205 N. The coefficient of friction between the ground and the boulder was 0.450. Was he able to move it out of the way?
