Komi was on vacation and went to scale Mt. Banahaw. Her weight at the base of the mountain is 540 N; on top she weighs 539.5 N. Note that the gravity acceleration decreases about 0.247 cm/s^2 for each 1000 m ascent. Determine the height in m of point above the base where her weight decreases by 4.912%.

A skier starts at rest at the top of a large hemispherical hill (Fig. P7.63). Neglecting friction, show that the skier will leave the hill and become airborne at a distance h = R/3 below the top of the hill. Hint: At this point, the normal force goes to zero. Figure P7.63
(Each question reads 18pts and the magnitude g of the gravitational acceleration ⃗g is g = 9.81m/s2)Q1) A block of mass m = 1kg, to which a spring of spring constant k = 43N/m is attached, stands on a horizontal plane. If the spring attached to that block can be stretched horizontally with an amount of 14.8cm until the block skids, what is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface of the plane? (Assume that the spring is ideal; ignore the mass of the spring)
The friction force that a horizontal surface exerts on a 59-kg object is 19 N. If the initial speed of the object is20 m/s, what distance will it slide before coming to a stop?
A 6.00 kg box sits at rest at the bottom of a ramp that is 8.00 mm long and is inclined at 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.40, and the coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.43. What constant force F, applied parallel to the surface of the ramp, is required to push the box to the top of the ramp in a time of 6.00 s? Express your answer to four significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A 1.14×104 kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.60 m/sec2 at an altitude of 165 m the craft's downward velocity is 18.0 m/s to slow down the craft, a retrorocket is firing to provide an upward thrust. Assuming the descent is vertical, find the magnitude of the thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface.
A cannon fires a 0.292 kg shell with initial velocity vi = 8.2 m/s in the direction θ = 45 ◦ above the horizontal. The shell’s trajectory curves downward because of gravity, so at the time t = 0.643 s the shell is below the straight line by some vertical distance ∆h. Find this distance ∆h in the absence of air resistance. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.
Walking in Waikiki, a tourist steps out onto Kuhio Dr while texting. Unbeknownst to the sunburned visitor, the street has been closed for the filming of a car chase scene for Hawaii 5-0. Slamming on the breaks, the stunt driver is thrown against his seatbelt, stopping in 90m. If the driver and the car weigh a total of 544kg and were traveling at 18 m/s, what force does the 90kg driver feel? Sketch: Equations: Work:
A horizontal force is applied to an object weighing 392 N that causes its speed to increase uniformly from 0 m/s to 6 m/s in 3 seconds. If we disregard the friction value, calculate the applied force
