Your car impacts with a dense foam wall. The force

exerted on your car varies in time by the given equation
of (340+ 80t3). If your 2000 kg car comes to a stop in
5 seconds, what was the initial velocity?

Three forces are applied to a 4.00 kg trunk that moves leftward by 3.00 m
over a floor with a coefficient of friction of 0.3. The force magnitudes are F 1
= 6.00 N, F2 = 5.00 N, and F3 = 8.00 N, and the indicated angle is = 60. (a)
During the displacement, what is the net work done on the trunk? (b) Does
the kinetic energy of the trunk increase or decrease?

A 30 gram arrow, buries itself 10 cm into a stationary foam target. This foam target is now placed on a
frictionless horizontal surface, and a second 30 g arrow is shot into the target. To what depth will the

A stationary block explodes into two pieces
L and R that slide across a frictionless floor
and then into regions with friction, where
they stop. Piece L, with a mass of 2.0 kg,
encounters a coefficient of kinetic friction

A 800 kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 3 s with constant
acceleration until it reaches its cruising speed of 2.00 m/s. (a) What is the
average power of the elevator motor during this period? (b) How does this
power compare with its power when it moves at its cruising speed

A 3.0 kg breadbox on a frictionless incline of angle = 30 is

connected, by a cord that runs over a massless and frictionless
pulley, to a light spring of spring constant k = 200 N/m. The box is
released from rest when the spring is unstretched. (a) What is the
speed of the box when it has moved 10.0 cm down the incline? And
what is the (b) magnitude of the box's acceleration at the instant
the box momentarily stops?
