A person pulls a 11-kg toboggan for a distance of 3.5 m on a horizontal sheet of ice (frictionless) with a rope directed 25.0º above the horizontal snowy surface. The tension in the rope is 88 N. There is also a zephyr (soft gentle breeze) in the opposite direction of the motion applying a 11.0 N force.

(a) How much net work is done on the toboggan by ALL the forces acting on it?

(b) If the toboggan starts from rest, how fast is it moving after the 3.5 m distance?

(c) Use Dimensionality sense-making to check the expression you derive in part (b).

A man pulls a crate of mass 61.0 kg across a level floor. He pulls with a force of 180.0 N at an angle of 29.0° above the horizontal. When the crate is moving, the frictional force between the floor and the crate has a magnitude of 122.0 N. If the crate starts from rest, how fast will it be moving after the man has pulled it a distance of 2.50 m?
