A spacecraft travels along a straight line from Earth to the Moon. At what distance from Earth does the force of gravity exerted by Earth on the coasting spacecraft cancel the force of gravity exerted by the Moon on the spacecraft? Use the Moon's orbit semimajor axis as a distance between planets.

As a car drives with its tires rolling freely without any slippage, the type of friction acting between the tires and the road is 100) a) static friction. b) kinetic friction. c) a combination of static and kinetic friction. d) neither static nor kinetic friction, but some other type of friction. e) it is impossible to tell what type of friction acts in this situation.

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
