You are riding on a skateboard. If you are on a rough asphalt road and you push off as hard as you can one time, you will coast for 20 feet before you stop. If you are on a
smooth concrete sidewalk and you push off as hard as you can, you will coast for 30
feet before you stop. What force is causing you to slow down to a stop on each
surface? Why are you able to coast farther on one surface than the other?

Question part points submissions used suppose that 2 j of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 26 cm to a length of 36 cm. (a) how much work is needed to stretch the spring from 28 cm to 32 cm? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.

You can melt ice by applying pressure because the solid/liquid line has a slope.
