On June 25, 1983, shot-putter Udo Beyer of East Germany threw the 7.26-kg shot 22.22 m, which at that time was a world record. (a) If the shot was released at a height of 2.20 m with a projection angle of 45.00, what was its initial velocity? (b) If while in Beyer’s hand the shot was accelerated uniformly over a distance of 1.20 m, what was the net force on it?

= 32 kg rides on the bed of a truck attached by a cord to the back of the cab as in Figure P4. 26. The cord can withstand a maximum tension of 68 N before breaking. Neglecting friction between the crate and truck bed, find the maximum acceleration the truck can have before the cord breaks.
You walk into an elevator, step onto a scale, and push the "down" button to go directly from the tenth floor to the first floor. You also recall that your normal weight is w = 615 N. If the elevator has an initial acceleration of magnitude 2.45 m/s2, what does the scale read?
