2. A skydiver dropped a block of wood at the same time she dove out of the plane. The skydiver has a mass of 85 kg and the block 15 kg. After falling 10 m, the block and the skydiver have the same speed (we are neglecting air resistance while the parachute has not been used). The skydiver then opens her parachute and, 10 additional meters later, the skydiver is moving at 16 m/s. a. How much faster is the block than the skydiver in this final state? b. How much energy was lost by the skydiver due to friction during these last 10 meters? c. Calculate the average air resistance (force) exerted on the skydiver.

A student on the ground fires a pebble from a catapult with a velocity of 30 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. If the pebble’s flight is interrupted by a vertical wall 12 m away from the student, at what height above the ground does the pebble hit the wall?
A boy drops a stone from a bridge 80 ft above the water. (a) Withwhat speed did the stone strike the water? (b) With what speed would the stone have struck the water if it had been thrown down with a speed of 24 ft/sec?
A ball is thrown upwards with a velocity of 58 m/s from the bottom of the tower of height 165 m. After 3 seconds, another ball is dropped from the top of the tower. Take g= 9.8 m/s?. When and where the two balls cross each other?
Scientists observe an approaching asteroid that is on a collision course with Earth. They devise a plan to launch a rocket that will collide with the asteroid inelastically and stop it. The mass of the asteroid is 7500 kg, and it is approaching Earth at 85 m/s. If the rocket has a mass of 900 kg, approximately what velocity must it have to completely stop the asteroid after collision?

A 2-oz pellet shot vertically from a spring-loaded pistol on the surface of the earth rises to a height of 300 ft. The same pellet shot from the same pistol on the surface of the moon rises to a height of 1900 ft. Determine the energy dissipated by aerodynamic drag when the pellet is shot on the surface of the earth. (The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 0.165 times that on the surface of the earth.)

A two-engine jet transport has a loaded weight of 83000 lb and a forward thrust of 8690 lb per engine during takeoff. If the transport requires 5520 ft of level runway starting from rest to become airborne at a speed of 142 knots (1 knot = 1.151 mi/hr), determine the average resistance R to motion over the runway length due to drag (air resistance) and mechanical retardation by the landing gear.
A ball is thrown with an upward velocity of 6.5 m/s from the top of a 12-m high building. One secondlater another ball is thrown vertically from the ground with a velocity of 12 m/s. Determine the heightfrom the ground where the two balls pass each other.
The triple jump is a track-and-field event in which an athlete gets a running start and tries to leap as far as he can with a hop, step, and jump. Shown in the figure is the initial hop of the athlete. Assuming that he approaches the takeoff line from the left with a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s, remains in contact with the ground for 0.18 s, and takes off at a 50° angle with a velocity of 12 m/s, determine the vertical component of the average impulsive force exerted by the ground on his foot. Give your answer in terms of the weight W of the athlete.
