You and a friend are on a road trip when your car runs out of gas only 20 meters from a gas station fortunately you're in Montana so the road is perfectly horizontal. You put the car in neutral and apply a horizontal force of 455 N, while your friend applies a horizontal force of 585 N in the same direction. The cars mass is m= 1600kg. The car begins to move, and you push the car to the pump. The car started from rest when you and your friend began pushing. Ignore all friction and air resistance
What is the total force applied?
what is the work done by your friend over the trip to the gas station?
what is the kinetic energy of your car 3 seconds after the start of your trip to the gas station?

The force F2 acting on the object has a magnitude of 5.00 N and is directed north. Determine the magnitude and direction of the one other horizontal force F1 acting on the object. Figure P4.29arrow_forwardA sled and rider have a total mass of 56.8 kg. They are on a snowy hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the snow is 0.195. The angle of the hills slope measured upward from the horizontal is 19.5. What is the acceleration of the rider? Is the acceleration greater, less than, or equal to your result if a more massive rider uses the same sled on the same hill? Explain.arrow_forwardIn many textbook problems, we ignore certain complications such as friction and drag. The problems contain key words that indicate such a simplification is being used. For example, if a surface is described as slippery, it means that we can ignore friction. Look at the previous chapters problem sets. Find five uses of these key words and explain how to interpret each case.arrow_forward
