A skier leaves a ski jump at 15.0 m/s at some angle . At what speed is he traveling at his maximum height of 4.50 m above the level of the end of the ski jump? (Neglect air friction.) (See Section 5.3.)
An electric scooter has a battery capable of supplying 120 Wh of energy. If friction forces and other losses account for 60.0% of the energy usage, what altitude change can a rider achieve when driving in hilly ter-rain if the rider and scooter have a combined weight of 890 N?
A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is pushed a distance d = 2.20 m along a frictionless horizontal table by a constant applied force of magnitude F = 16.0 N directed at an angle = 25.0 below the horizontal as shown in Figure P5.8. Determine the work done by (a) the applied force, (b) the normal force exerted by the table, (c) the force of gravity, and (d) the net force on the block. Figure P5.8
At the bottom of an air track tilted at angle , a glider of mass m is given a push to make it coast a distance d up the slope as it slows down and stops. Then the glider comes back down the track to its starting point. Now the experiment is repeated with the same original speed but with a second identical glider set on top of the first. The airflow from the track is strong enough to support the stacked pair of gliders so that the combination moves over the track with negligible friction. Static friction holds the second glider stationary relative to the first glider throughout the motion. The coefficient of static friction between the two gliders is s. What is the change in mechanical energy of the two-glider-Earth system in the up- and down-slope motion after the pair of gliders is released? Choose one.

A 537-kg trailer is hitched to a truck. Find the work done by the truck on the trailer in each of the following cases. Assume rolling friction is negligible. a. The trailer is pulled at constant speed along a level road for 2.30 km. b. The trailer is accelerated from rest to a speed of 88.8 km/h. c. The trailer is pulled at constant speed along a road inclined at 12.5 for 2.30 km.
Repeat the preceding problem, but this time, suppose that the work done by air resistance cannot be ignored. Let the work done by the air resistance when the skier goes from A to B along the given hilly path be —2000 J. The work done by air resistance is negative since the air resistance acts in the opposite direction to the displacement. Supposing the mass of the skier is 50 kg, what is the speed of the skier at point B ?
A block of mass 0.500 kg is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x (Fig. P7.79). The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the block travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point , the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The blocks speed at the bottom of the track is = 12.0 m/s, and the block experiences an average friction force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. (a) What is x? (b) If the block were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed at that point? (c) Does the block actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?
In the dangerous sport of bungee jumping, a daring student jumps from a hot air balloon with a specially designed elastic cord attached to his waist. The unstretched length of the cord is 25.0 m, the student weighs 7.00 102 N, and the balloon is 36.0 m above the surface of a river below. Calculate the required force constant of the cord if the student is to stop safely 4.00 m above the river.

(c) Determine her initial speed V0 at the launch point in terms of g and h. (d) Determine her maximum airborne height ymax in terms of h, g, and the horizontal speed at that height, v0x.
