A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.

An old Biblical story tells of David, a small warrior engaged in man‑to‑man combat with Goliath, a much larger adversary. In the story, David uses a sling to increase the speed of a projectile (in this case a rock), striking Goliath in the forehead and killing him. The type of sling often used in such combat consists of a long strip of cloth with a pouch halfway down its length. The rock is positioned in the pouch, with the warrior holding both ends of the sling. By whirling the sling in a horizontal circle, a warrior can release one end of the sling, thereby allowing the projectile to fly in a straight line at high speed. Historically, warriors and hunters typically used a vertical circle, but the circle used here is horizontal for simplicity. In this problem, assume that the sling, when unfolded, was roughly R=5.18 ft in total length and that the rock weighed a half a pound. If David whirled the sling such that the sling was at an angle θ=5.03∘ below the horizontal, with what…
A skateboarder, with an initial speed of 2.2 m/s, rolls virtually friction-free down a straight incline of length 18 m in 3.3s. - At what angle θ is the incline oriented above the horizontal?
In the winter sport of bobsledding, athletes push their sled along a horizontal ice surface and then hop on the sled as it starts to careen down the steeply sloped track. In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 4.0 ∘∘. What is the sled's speed after it has traveled the first 120 mm?
In the figure, a body with a mass of 2 kg moves under the influence of two constant forces F1 = 5N and F2 = 4N in the xy plane. At time t = 0, the object is at point 0 and its speed is V = 2i + j (m / s). What is the acceleration of the particle and its position after 2 seconds in terms of the unit vector?
The curved section of a horizontal highway is a circular unbanked arc of radius 520 m. If the coefficient of static friction between this roadway and typical tires is 0.30, what would be the maximum safe driving speed for this horizontal curved section of highway?
The projectile that makes an oblique shot is divided into two equal parts at h = 20m height, which is the highest point of its orbit. After t = 1s after the explosion, the first part falls L1 = 1000m away from the firing point in the horizontal direction and just below the explosion point. How long after the second piece explodes and how far will it fall from the firing point? (Neglect the air friction.), (g=10m/s^2)
