Peter Parker wants to move his 32 kg sofa to a different room in the house. He places ”sofa sliders,”slippery disks with mk= 0.080, under the feet of the sofa. He then pushes the sofa at a steady 0.40 m/s across the floor. How much force does he apply to the sofa?

A large refrigerator (mass 95kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so she begins to push it. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.6, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5. The homeowner applies a horizontal force of 400N on the refrigerator. What is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the refrigerator as she applies that force?

1. John (who is 95 kg) drives his car over an absurdly large half-circle speedbump with a radius of 5 meters. Given that his normal weight is 930 N and his apparent weight at the top of the speed-bump was 246 N, how fast did he drive over the speed bump? 2. When working in circular motion problems, what do we define as always being the positive direction? 3. When in circular motion, the net force points in what direction?...
