The 18 000-kg F-35B uses thrust vectoring to allow it to take off vertically. In one maneuver, the pilot reaches the top of her static hover at 200 m. The combined thrust and lift force on the airplane applied at the end of the static hover can be expressed as F = (44t + 2500t2)i + (250t2 + t + 176 580)j, where F and t are expressed in newtons and seconds, respectively. Determine how long it will take the airplane to reach a cruising speed of 1000 km/hr (cruising speed is defined to be in the x-direction only).

A 5.00 kg block is released from rest on a ramp that is inclined at an angle of 60.0° below the horizontal. The initial position of the block is a vertical distance of 2.00 m above the bottom of the ramp. (a) If the speed of the block is 5.00 m/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp, what was the work done on it by the friction force? (b) If the angle of the ramp is changed but the block is released from a point that is still 2.00 m above the base of the ramp, both the magnitude of the friction force and the distance along the ramp that the block travels change. If the angle of the incline is changed to 50.0°, does the magnitude of the work done by the friction force increase or decrease compared to the value calculated in part (a)? (c) How much work is done by friction when the ramp angle is 50.0°?

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Block D, initially at rest, having a W = 30 lbf , is supported within the system shown, with x = 13.2 ft. Neglecting the mass of the pulley and the cord on the system, determine the eventual height h after a force P = 60 lbf is applied to make the block rise by ∆sD = 0.625 ft at t = 2.5 s. NOTE: Use Force-Mass-Acceleration (FMA) Method.
