1. Suppose you are driving a 500-kg Zamboni when it suddenly breaks down, forcing you to get out and push. You apply a force of 85 N on the machine, which experiences a constant frictional force of 5 N. How long (in seconds) will it take to push the Zamboni the remaining 40 m?

6. A tugboat traveling through Venice is pulling two smaller boats behind it using tow cables. The tugboat is connected to boat A, which has a mass of 300 kg and experiences a constant drag force of 70 N from the water. Boat A is connected via tow cable to boat B, which has a mass of 400 kg and experiences a drag force of 85 N. The tension in the cable between the tugboat and boat A is 2800 N. Find the acceleration of boat b (in m/s2).
7. A turtle is pushing a 2.5 kg rock across a flat surface through the desert. The turtle is applying a force of 10 N on the rock, which moves at a constant velocity. How much frictional force does the rock experience (in Newtons)?

A quasiparticle of mass m is trapped by an extended crystal defect, which has a shape of a narrow, straight tube of length l. The quasiparticle hence is confined to move within this defect. Consider that the tube of this defect is sealed at both ends with potential V = 0 inside the tube. Treat the defect as a 1D infinite square well. Assume that this tube defect is placed at an angle Θ relative to the surface of the earth. The quasiparticle experiences the usual gravitational potential V = mgh. Calculate the lowest order change in the energy of the ground state due to the gravitational potential.

A hollow aluminum cylinder 15.5 cm deep has an internal capacity of 2.000 L at 22.0°C. It is completely filled with turpentine at 22.0°C.

Consider the situation of two particles which have equal but opposite charges, +Q and -Q. The particles have identical mass. Discuss the following situations in terms of their motion and the work done on them by the relevant field.
