The rocket engine is attached to the rear of a small bicycle. The weight of the bike and the motor is 35 lbs. The rider weighs 155 lbs. The bike has good bearings and tires, and rolls easily. The rider is bent down low to reduce the drag of air resistance. The track is straight and flat.From a dead stop the rocket motor is ignited. What will be to top speed of the bike in mph(Miles per hour) and how far will it have traveled at motor burn out ? Will speed continue to increase at all beyond motor burn out ?

The other night my wife and I were about ready to push our airplane back into its hanger after an early evening flight . A fueler , who had just refilled our fuel tanks, was going to help guide us as we used a tow-bar to push the plane back . As we were reaching to the tow-bar the fueler asked how we could actually be able push the plane in. He cited Newtons third Law of Motion as the reason, explaining that when we push on the plane, the plane will pull back on us with an equal force , the force will cancel , and there will be no motion . Thus, we shouldn't be able to push the plane into place . What is wrong with the fuelers argument and what would you say that would be the correct evaluation of the situation .Physics Force & Laws Of Motion Level: High School

I was dragging a 45.0 kg box down the driveway and out to the curb for garbage pick-up on Tuesday evening . I was able to pull it on a horizontal surface at a constant velocity . I noticed that I exerted a force of magnitude of 145N directed at an angle of 20.0(DEG) above the horizontal . Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the driveway .
