A crate of mass 100 kg is being pushed in a straight line across a horizontal floor at a constant speed of 4.0 m/s.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and
the floor is 0.3. Find the net force on the crate.

A. 0 N
B. 300 N
C. 400 N
D. 1200 N

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied.

From center station, a train departs every 30 minutes on the fast line and a train departs every 50 minutes on the state line. if two trains depart from center station at 8: 00 a.m., one on each of the two lines, what is the next time that two trains, one on each line, will depart at the same time?

Use the profile illustrated for problem (1). assume that the layer of silty sand fill (sm) is placed over the entire site. estimate the thickness of the fill (h - in feet) that will cause the effective vertical stress at the center of the clay layer to increase by 517.5 pounds per square foot.
