An object slows down because of a friction force of 8N.  If it moves 3m during the time that the force is applied, the change in kinetic energy is 

The desk has a weight of 75 lb and a center of gravity at g. determine the initial acceleration of a desk when the man applies enough force f to overcome the static friction at a and b. also, find the vertical reactions on each of the two legs at a and at b. the coefficients of static and kinetic friction at a and b are ms = 0.5 and mk = 0.2, respectively

Which is not true of the intertropical convergence zone? a) it features heavy precipitation b) it's where the trade winds collidec) it's a high-pressure zone with sinking air d) it is also known as the doldrums

Aplayground slide is 8.80 ft long and makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. a 63.0-kg child, initially at the top, slides all the way down to the bottom of the slide. (a) choosing the bottom of the slide as the reference configuration, what is the system's potential energy when the child is at the top and at the bottom of the slide? what is the change in potential energy as the child slides from the top to the bottom of the slide? (include the sign of the value in your answer.)
