A bicyclist has a combined mass (cycle and cyclist) of 60 kg and can produce 125 W of pedaling power. If her cross-sectional area is 0.32 m2 , drag coefficient is 0.83, and rolling resistance is 0.004, how fast can she pedal into a 6 m/s (about 15 mph) headwind on level ground? How about with a 6 m/s tailwind?

A 2.10 x 103 kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 5.00 m beforecoming into contact with the top of the beam, and it drives the beam 12.0 cm farther into the ground as it comesto rest. Using energy considerations, calculate the average force the beam exerts on the pile driver while the piledriver is brought to rest.

Let's say we have a spring with a constant of K= 300 N/m and this spring is attached to the incline at the top making an angle of θ=44.0° with the horizontal. Now, after we have this problem, there is a projectile that has a mass of 1 kg that is pointing up the plane. The initial position of this projectile is d = 1.3 m and it is from the end 0f a uncompressed spring. Answer the following questions: Let’s say the incline has no friction at all and given the kinetic energy for the projectile is 15 J. How much c0mpression will the spring receive? Let's say we have a coefficient of friction = 0.300 and the spring will have to c0mpress 1.10 the instant the projectile stops..in order for this to happen, what should be the initial speed of the projectile?
