What happens to the kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gains mass?

Students design a model roller-coaster track. they place a rubber ball at the highest point on the track and let it go. the ball rolls along the track pulled only by the force of gravity. eventually, it comes to a stop. which change to the design will result in the ball moving the greatest distance?

Madison pushes with a 210-n horizontal force on a 24-kg crate of coffee resting on a warehouse floor. the force of friction on the crate is 74 n. what is the acceleration?

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.
