At a history center, an old canal boat is pulled by two draft horses. It doesn’t take much force to keep the boat moving; the drag force is quite small. But it takes some work to get the 55,000 kg boat up to speed! The horses can pull with a steady force and put a 1400 N tension in the rope that connects to the boat. The rope is straight and level. The boat starts from rest, and the horses pull steadily as they begin their walk down the towpath. How much distance do the horses cover as they bring the boat up to its final speed of 0.70 m/s?
Tim got a huge birthday gift from his grandmother. A 400. N crate has been delivered to his driveway. In order to get it started moving toward his door, he has to push it with a horizontal force of 250 N, but as soon as it is moving, he can keep it moving at a constant speed by pushing with a 120 N force. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction of Tim's birthday gift and the driveway?
