has the same magnitude as the total force which resists the motion of the box
when an increase in speed triples the kinetic energy of a moving object, the magnitude of its momentum
increases by a factor of squarroot of 3
When you fly a kite, there is a time when you must do (positive) work on the kite.

Some engineers have suggested that we can simulate gravity in outer space by having a circular rotating space station where persons feel an outward - directed fictitious force due to the rotation of the station. The reason they feel such a force is because
they are accelerating toward the center of space station and the walls of the space station provude the centripteal force, which they expereinece as an apparengt weight
