When an automobile moves with constant speed down a highway, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the mechanical energy loss due to frictional forces exerted on the car by the air and the road. if the power developed by the engine is 196 hp, estimate the total friction force acting on the car when it is moving at a speed of 32 m/s. one horsepower equals 746 w.

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that the force f between two masses, m1 and m2, is given below, where g is a constant and d is the distance between the masses. find an equation that gives an instantaneous rate of change of f with respect to d. (assume m1 and m2 represent moving points.)

In raising a 6200-n piano with a pulley system, the movers note that, for every 2.2 m of rope pulled down, the piano rises 0.12 m . ideally, find the force required to lift the piano.

Moon effect. some people believe that the moon controls their activities. if the moon moves from being directly on the opposite side of earth from you to being directly overhead, by what percentage does (a) the moon's gravitational pull on you increase and (b) your weight (as measured on a scale) decrease? assume that the earth–moon (center-to-center) distance is 3.82 × 10^8 m, earth's radius is 6.37 × 10^6 m, moon's mass is 7.36 × 10^22 kg, and earth's mass is 5.98 × 10^24 kg.
