Given: A bowling ball is dropped from the top of a building that has a height of h = 101 m. Assuming air resistance is negligible, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? If drag produces an opposing force of 10 N while the ball's falling, what is the ball's speed, vf in m/s, when it strikes the ground? Assume the ball has a mass of 5 kg. A different ball was dropped and the final speed was measured to be vf = 6.5 m/s while the drag force was measured to be 50 Newtons. What is the mass of this ball in kg?

In a "crazy elevator ride" at the amusement park, a 300 kg "elevator car" slides vertically down a frictionless shaft and curves onto a horizontal section, descending a total height of 25 m. On the horizontal section is a friction pad designed to bring the car to rest. If the coefficient of friction between the car and the pad is μk=0.4, how long in meters does the pad need to be to stop the car?
A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5°with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 2.00 x 102 m long,and the coefficient of friction between snow and skis is 0.075 0.At the bottom of the hill, the snow is level and the coefficientof friction is unchanged. How far does the skier glide along thehorizontal portion of the snow before coming to rest?
