Problem 1- A 70 kg skier starts to slide from H = 25 m above the jumping ramp as shown in the figure and jumps off the ramp at an angle of 0 = 30° . If the ramp is frictionless and the effect of air resistance is neglected, (a) What is the maximum height k that the skier can reach after jumping off the ramp? (b) If the skier had increased his weight by putting on a backpack, woulf the height h be higher, lower or remain the same? Explain. (c) If there was air resistance, would the height h be higher, lower or remain the same? Explain. (d) What would h be if the length of the path above the jump point of the ramp (i.e, the part of the path above the dashed line according to the figure) were d = 50 m and the coefficient of the kinetic friction uz = 0.2 ? End of ramp

A 1.5-kg box is released from rest on a frictionless surface that is sloped at θ = 35◦ above the horizontal.After sliding 1.0 m down the slope, the box transitions smoothly to a rough, horizontal surface, slides forsome distance, and then comes to a stop. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and thehorizontal surface is 0.12, how far along the horizontal surface does the box travel?
Starting from rest, a 92-kg firefighter slides down a fire pole. The average frictional force exerted on him by the pole has a magnitude of 710 N, and his speed at the bottom of the pole is 3.5 m/s. How far did he slide down the pole?
The skateboarder in the drawing starts down the left side of the ramp with an initial speed of 6.3 ft/s. If nonconservative forces, such as kinetic friction and air resistance, are negligible, what would be the height "h" of the highest point (in meters) reached by the skateboarder on the right side of the ramp?
A skier leaves a ski jump at 14.4 m/s at some angle Q. At what speed is he travelling at his maximum height of 4.40 m above the level of the end of the ski jump? neglect air friction ?m/s
a mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 kph on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the morher observes that they are approaching a steep descrnt. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 15 N. Knowing the coefficient of frivtion between the mother and the ground is 0.2, the mass of the mother is 62 kg and the angle of the rope does not change, determine the acceleration of the mother, the time reuired dor the mother's speed to be cut in half, and the distance traveled.
