Sprinting near the end of a race, a runner with a mass of 65 kg accelerates from a speed of 6 m/s to a speed of 7 m/s in 2 s.
(a) What is the runner's average acceleration during this time?
m/s2
(b) To gain speed the runner produces a backward force on the ground, so that the ground pushes the runner forward providing the force necessary for acceleration. Calculate this average force.

The air exerts a forward force of 10 N on the propeller of a 0.40 kg model airplane. If the plane accelerates forward at 4.0 m/s2, what is the magnitude of the resistive force exerted by the air on the airplane?
N
A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it. One is a 1500 N forward push by the motor, and the other is an 1100 N resistive force due to the water.
(a) What is the acceleration of the 900 kg boat?
m/s 2
(b) If it starts from rest, how far will it move in 6.0 s?
m
(c) What will its velocity be at the end of this time?
m/s
