If the vector components of the position of a particle moving in the xy plane as a function of time are x(t)=(2.5ms2)t2i and y(t)=(5.0ms3)t3j, when is the angle between the net force on the particle and the x axis equal to 45?
A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
In the very Dutch sport of ducth-dude-on-a-pole, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter (in magnitude)?

Find (a) the value of the constant b in the equation v = mg/b (1 − e−bt/m), and (b) the value of the resistive force when the bead reaches terminal speed.
A 100 N force, directed at an angle u above a horizontal floor, is applied to a 25.0 kg chair sitting on the floor. If u =0, what are (a) the horizontal component Fh of the applied force and (b) the magnitude FN of the normal force of the floor on the chair? If u =30.0, what are (c) Fh and (d) FN? If u =60.0, what are (e) Fh and (f) FN? Now assume that the coefficient of static friction between chair and floor is 0.420. Does the chair slide or remain at rest if u is (g) 0, (h) 30.0, and (i) 60.0?
