b) A truck of total mass 18tonne descends a hill with a gradient of 1 in 14, i.e. a vertical movement of 1m for each 14m of movement along the slope. During this motion, the truck experiences a rolling resistance to its motion of 900N. Whilst travelling at a velocity of 54km/h, its brakes are applied, and the truck is brought uniformly to rest in a distance of 112m. During this period of constant deceleration, it may be assumed that the rolling resistance remains constant at 900N, this being in addition to the retarding force applied by the brakes. Calculate for the truck whilst it is slowing down: a) The vertical height through which it descends. b) Its decrease in potential energy. c) Its initial velocity in m/s.

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).
To apply Newton’s second law and the theorem of conservation of energy to solve kinetic problems. A bungee jumper wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. The jumper has a mass m, and the surface of the bridge is a height h above the water. The bungee cord, which has lengthL when unstretched, will first straighten and then stretch as the jumper falls.Assume the following: The bungee cord behaves as an ideal spring once it begins to stretch and has spring constant k. The jumper does not actually jump but simply steps off the edge of the bridge and falls straight downward. The jumper's height is negligible compared to the length of the bungee cord. Thus, the jumper can be treated as a point particle. Use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. How far below the bridge, d, will the jumper eventually be hanging, once the jumper stops oscillating and comes finally to rest? Assume that the jumper does not touch the water. Express your answer in…
