Mark pushes his broken car $150 \mathrm{m}$ down the block to his friend's house. He has to exert a 110 N horizontal force to push the car at a constant speed. How much thermal energy is created in the tires and road during this short trip?

13.4 Determine the gross force needed to bring a car that is traveling at 120 km/h to a full stop in a distance of 100 m. The mass of the car is 2000 kg. What happens to the initial kinetic energy? Where does it go or to what form of energy does the kinetic energy convert?

The combined force that you and your friends exert has a magnitude of 8.00×10^2 N, and starting from rest, the car reaches a speed of 1.40 m/s after you have pushed it 5.00 m. Find the magnitude of the constant friction force that acts on the car.
