Chapter 3, Problem 48SP
A force of 100 lb acting on a body weighing 500 lb causes the body to accelerate
uniformly. What would happen to the acceleration if the force is increased to 200 lb?
[Hint: Units are not important here as long as you are consistent.] Assume no friction.

In a pandayan (foundry), a pot made of cast iron slid and came to a complete stop a surface also made of cast iron. The pot was quite heavy (m = 2.5 kg) and had an acceleration of 4.5 m/s2. Calculate the frictional force that stopped the pot. [Hint: Since the pot was originally sliding, the frictional force involved is kinetic friction.]

- If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object.
