A box with a mass of 5 kg accelerates its speed in a straight line, increasing it from 5 m/s to 8 m/s, due to the application of an external force acting for a duration of 2.0 s. Calculate the average strength of this force.
Mass A is 40 kg and mass B is 10 kg. The angle that the inclined plane makes with the horizontal is 30 degrees. Using Newtons's motion of law, find the velocities of bodies A and B when body A moves 3 meters down the inclined plane, ignoring friction and pulley masses, and when bodies A and B start to move from a standstill.

- The next two problems have to do with this scenario: Air resistance has a quadratic velocity dependence. Water resistance usually has a linear velocity dependence. Consider a bicycle on a road where air resistance is the dominant resistive force on it. Also consider a canoeist on a lake where water resistance is the most important resistive force. As they move, they are both getting tired at the same rate. At the speeds they are both going, the force the canoeist exerts is 1.5 times as big as the force the cyclist exerts. The rate at which someone gets tired is proportional to the force they exert times the velocity at which they are going. Hint: To answer these questions you will have to consider ratios of things at the beginning to things at the end. If both people increase their speed by 50%, which of them will get tired faster?
