Four forces are exerted on a disk of radius \( R \) that is free to spin about its center, as shown above. The magnitudes are proportional to the length of the force vectors, where \( F_1 = F_4 \), \( F_2 = F_3 \), and \( F_1 = 2F_2 \). Which two forces combine to exert zero net torque on the disk?

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 \(3 \, \text{m/s}\).

A rocket-powered hockey puck has a thrust of \(4.40 \, \text{N}\) and a total mass of \(1.00 \, \text{kg}\). It is released from rest on a frictionless table, \(2.10 \, \text{m}\) from the edge of a \(2.10 \, \text{m}\) drop. The front of the rocket is pointed directly toward the edge. Assuming that the thrust of the rocket is present for the entire time of travel, how far does the puck land from the base of the table?

A block of mass \( 0.5 \) \( \text{kg} \) is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of \( 150 \) \( \text{N/m} \). The block is released from rest at position \( x = 0.05 \) \( \text{m} \), as shown, and undergoes simple harmonic motion, reaching a maximum position of \( x = 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \). The speed of the block when it passes through position \( x = 0.09 \) \( \text{m} \) is most nearly
