A luge and its rider, with a total mass of 76.0 kg, emerge from a downhill track onto a horizontal straight track with an initial speed of 35.0 m/s. If a force slows them to a stop at a constant rate of 4.00 m/s2, (a) what magnitude F is required for the force, (b) what distance d do they travel while slowing, and (c) what work W is done on them by the force? What are (d) F, (e) d, and (f) W if they, instead, slow at 8.00 m/s2?

A spring of negligible mass stretches 3.00 cm from its relaxed length when a force of 7.10 N is applied. A 0.440-kg particle rests on a frictionless horizontal surface and is attached to the free end of the spring. The particle is displaced from the origin to x = 5.00 cm and released from rest at t = 0. (Assume that the direction of the initial displacement is positive. Use the exact values you enter to make later calculations.) (a)...

A 2400-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t)=At+Bt2, where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited. At the instant of ignition, the rocket has an upward acceleration of 1.90 m/s2 and 1.20 s later an upward velocity of 1.50 m/s . Part A) Determine A....
