Question 23 Two frisky otters slide down frictionless hillsides of the same height but different slopes. The slope of the hill of otter 1 is 30°, while the slope of the hill of otter 2 is 60°. If both start from rest, which otter is moving faster when she reaches the bottom of her hill? O The otter that took the shorter time is moving faster. O Otter 2 is moving faster. The heavier otter is moving faster, no matter which hill she used. O Otter 1 is moving faster. O Both otters have the same speed at the bottom.

A 70 kg firefighter slides, from rest, 4.3 m down a vertical pole. (a) If the firefighter holds onto the pole lightly, so that the frictional force of the pole on her is negligible, what is her speed just before reaching the ground floor? (b) If the firefighter grasps the pole more firmly as she slides, so that the average frictional force of the pole on her is 500 N upward, what is her speed just before reaching the ground floor?

Escaping from a tomb raid gone wrong, Lara Croft (m = 66.0 kg) swings across an alligator-infested river from a 9.05-m-long vine. If her speed at the bottom of the swing is 6.30 m/s and she makes it safely across the river, what is the minimum breaking strength of the vine? ?N
Two blocks are connected by a light string that passesover a frictionless pulley as in Figure P5.38. The system is released from rest while m 2 is on thefloor and m1 is a distance h above thefloor. (a) Assuming m 1 >m 2, find anexpression for the speed of m1 justas it reaches the floor. (b) Takingm 1 = 6.5 kg, m 2 = 4.2 kg, andh = 3.2 m, evaluate your answer topart (a), and (c) find the speed ofeach block when m 1 has fallen a distanceof 1.6 m.
