Chapter 8, Problem 8.93P
You are standing on a concrete slab that in turn is resting on a frozen lake. Assume there is no friction between the slab and the ice. The slab has a weight five times your weight. If you begin walking forward at 2.00 m/s relative to the ice, with what speed, relative to the ice, does the slab move?

A space probe of mass 5.00 x 104 kg is traveling at 1.10 x 104 m/s through deep space. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. The engine exerts a constant external force of 4.00 x 105 N, directed parallel to the displacement, which is 2.50 x 106 m. Determine the final velocity of the probe.
About 80 g of blood is pumped from the heart during each heartbeat. The blood starts at rest and has a speed of about 0.60 m/s in the aorta. If the pumping takes 0.17 s, What is the magnitude of the average force on the blood?
