In an iconic movie scene, Forrest Gump (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21ForrGumpvid) runs around the country. If he is running at a constant speed of 3 m/s, would it take him more or less energy to run uphill or downhill and why?
Suppose I need to toss an object of mass 5.2 up onto a shelf 6.61 meters above where my hands can reach. What is the minimum speed of toss necessary to do this? Your answer should be in meters per second, but don't write teh unit, just the number. You can approximate the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface as 10 meters per square second.

A bottle rocket is shot straight up in the air with a speed 30 m/s . If the air resistance is ignored, the bottle would go up to a height of approximately 46 m . However, the rocket goes up to only 35 m before returning to the ground. What happened? Explain, giving only a qualitative response.
Disregarding friction, a roller coaster with a vertical drop of 46 m will achieve a speed of about 30 m/s. If the height of the drop is doubled, how much the speed is going to be?
The juggling skateboarder is back outside my office! He starts with a speed of of 3.0 m/s at a height ten meters above lake level, and then rolls down Campus Drive. Assuming that the effects of friction were negligible, how fast should he be moving when he is just two meters above lake level?
The skateboarder 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?
