A \(10 \, \text{kg}\) box is pushed to the right by an unknown force at an angle of \(25^\circ\) below the horizontal while a friction force of \(50 \, \text{N}\) acts on the box as well. The box accelerates from rest and travels a distance of \(4 \, \text{m}\) where it is moving at \(3 \, \text{m/s}\).

An object is released from rest near the surface of a planet. The velocity of the object as a function of time is expressed in the following equation. \( v_y = (-3) \, \text{m/s}^2 \, t \) All frictional forces are considered to be negligible. What distance does the object fall \( 10 \) \( \text{s} \) after it is released from rest?

Priscilla the Penguin stands at the edge of a rock ledge and tosses a small ice cube directly upward with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \). The ice cube’s initial height above the ground is \( 3.25 \, \text{m} \), and it reaches its maximum height above the ground \( 0.586 \, \text{s} \) after being thrown. The ice cube then plummets to the ground, missing the edge of the rock ledge on its way down.

A “doomsday” asteroid with a mass of \( 1010 \, \text{kg} \) is hurtling through space. Unless the asteroid’s speed is changed by about \( 0.20 \, \text{cm/s} \), it will collide with Earth and cause tremendous damage. Researchers suggest that a small “space tug” sent to the asteroid’s surface could exert a gentle constant force of \( 2.5 \, \text{N} \). For how long must this force act?

A block of mass \( m \) is moving on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed \( v_0 \) as it approaches a block of mass \( 2m \) which is at rest and has an ideal spring attached to one side.

When the two blocks collide, the spring is completely compressed and the two blocks momentarily move at the same speed, and then separate again, each continuing to move.
