A block of mass 5 kg is at rest at x = 0 on a smooth horizontal floor. A horizontal force F acts on it along the x-axis, and F changes with the position of the block as shown in the graph. What is the speed of the block when it reaches x = 8 m?

← A box of mass 10 kg rests on a rough horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is 0.75. You pull the box with a rope that makes an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Taking g = 10 m/s², the smallest pull that can just start the box moving, and the angle at which it acts, are
In an amusement-park rotor, people stand against the inside wall of a large vertical cylinder of radius 2.5 m. The cylinder spins about its vertical axis, and then the floor is lowered. The people stay pinned to the wall. The coefficient of static friction between a person's clothes and the wall is 0.4. Taking g = 10 m/s², the smallest rate of turning for which nobody slides down is closest to →
