•38 A 40 kg skier skis directly down a frictionless slope angled at 10° to the horizontal. Assume the skier moves in the negative di- rection of an x axis along the slope. A wind force with component F, acts on the skier. What is F, if the magnitude of the skier's veloc- ity is (a) constant, (b) increasing at a rate of 1.0 m/s², and (c) in- creasing at a rate of 2.0 m/s²?

When catching a foul ball at a baseball game, why is it important to extend your bare hands upward so they can move downward as the ball is being caught?
Professional golfers can drive the ball over 200 m. While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected. Suppose a golfer hits a ball 200 m on level ground, giving it an initial velocity at an angle of 45o. The duration of the impact of the club and ball has been measured to be 1.00 ms. c) Find the average force exerted by the club on the ball. d) Find the average shear deformation of the club's 0.800 m long and 1.00 cm diameter steel shaft.
The 0.8-kg particle slides across a frictionless horizontal plane. The force P applied to the particle always acts in the x-direction and its magnitude varies with time as shown (Fig. 2) in the P-t diagram. If the velocity of the particle at t= 0 is 3 mps, in the direction shown, determine the speed when t = 5 sec.
An object of mass M hangs on a massless string of length 0.500 m attached to the ceiling. The object is then given an initial speed of 3.00 m/s in a horizontal direction. Determine the maximum angle made between the string and the vertical.
According to legend, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls of different mass from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa in 1589. Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2). Theory Newton succeeded in explaining gravitational acceleration using his Laws of…

If his constant velocity and thecoefficient of kinetic friction between the ski and the snow is 9m/sand 0.80, respectively, compute his velocity when he has skid 20m from his initialposition and a drag force experienced by the skier equivalent to a magnitude of 0.6V^2.

A Chinook salmon can swim underwater at 3.58 m/s, and it can also jump vertically upward, leaving the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s. A record salmon has length 1.50 m and mass 61.0 kg. Consider the fish swimming straight upward in the water below the surface of a lake. The gravitational force exerted on it is very nearly canceled out by a buoyant force exerted by the water. The fish experiences an upward force P exerted by the water on its threshing tail fin and a downward fluid friction force that we model as acting on its front end. Assume the fluid friction force disappears as soon as the fish’s head breaks the water surface and assume the force on its tail is constant. Model the gravitational force as suddenly switching full on when half the length of the fish is out of the water. Find the value of P.
