The students perform several experimental trials. In each trial, a different speed v is used, and the resulting maximum height reached by the center of mass of the dart-block system is measured. Which quantities could the students graph to produce a straight line whose slope can be used to find the acceleration due to gravity, g?

In a soccer match against Mexico in 2014, US Women’s National Team striker Alex Morgan scored a sweetheaded goal in the 79th minute of the game. Just as the ball left her head, the horizontal component of its acceleration was 225 m/s , and the vertical component of its acceleration was -200 m/s (assuming thepositive direction points up). If the ball has a mass of 425 g, what was the magnitude and direction of theforce she applied to the ball? Note- you can ignore the weight of the ball.
Considering that now I have learned to solve for V & T. My next question is how would I solve for the magnitude & direction of the maximum static frictional force acting on the suitcase? I just began my Physics I course, in your opinion would you consider this word problem to be an intro to physics?
The initially stationary 27-kg block is subjected to the time-varying horizontal force whose magnitude P is shown in the plot. Note that the force is zero for all times greater than 10 s. Determine the time ts at which the block comes to rest.

Block 1, of mass m1, is connected over an ideal (massless and frictionless) pulley to block 2, of mass m2, as shown. Assume that the blocks accelerate as shown with an acceleration of magnitude a and that the coefficient of kinetic friction between block 2 and the plane is μ. Find the ratio of the masses m1/m2. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables a, μ, and θ, as well as the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration g.
