Interstellar cloud having a diameter of 1013 km and a rotation period of 106 years collaps- ing to a sphere the size of the Sun (1.4 x 106 km in diameter). We point out that if all the cloud’s angular momentum went into that sphere, the sphere would have a rotation period of only 0.6 second. Do the calculation to confirm this result.

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 41.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 18.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750 . How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.)

On his way to class, a student on a skateboard is accelerating on a downhill stretch. Which of the following are true.
I know the answer is
a) the skateboarder is moving in the direction of the net force
b) the skateboarder is subjected to a net external force in the direction of motion
c) the skateboarders acceleration is in the direction of the net force
I am struggling to understand why all three of these answers are correct. Could you possibly explain to me why each of these is correct. I know it is in correlation with Newtons first law but i need further explanation to help understand it because it is not clicking in my head.
Thank you for your time!!

The wheel of an engine starts to rotate from rest with uniform angular acceleration. It accelerates angularly for an unknown time (t1) until reaching an angular velocity of 45.13 rad / s, then maintains that angular velocity constant for 37.8 s.

You are a member of a geological team in Central Africa. Your team comes upon a wide river that is flowing east. You must determine the width of the river and the current speed (the speed of the water relative to the earth). You have a small boat with an outboard motor. By measuring the time it takes to cross a pond where the water isnt flowing, you have calibrated the throttle settings to the speed of the boat in still water. You set the throttle so that the speed of the boat relative to the river is a constant 6.00 m/s. Traveling due north across the river, you reach the opposite bank in 20.1 s. For the return trip, you change the throttle setting so that the speed of the boat relative to the water is 8.20 m/s . You travel due south from one bank to the other and cross the river in 11.2 s.
With the throttle set so that the speed of the boat relative to the water is 6.00m/s, what is the shortest time in which you could cross the river?

A mass of 3.8 kg is originally moving at 8 m/s at the top of a frictionless incline which has a length of 6.2 meters and an inclination angle of 56 degrees. It slides down the incline and over a horizontal surface in which a portion of it has friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.37 and the portion of the surface which has friction is 8 meters. At the end of the horizontal surface is a spring. The mass compresses the spring 0.65 meters before it is stopped. What is the amount of force produced by the spring when the mass is stopped in Newtons?
