You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 25 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is at the edge of the roof directly below you, 5.4 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.5 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.50, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?

You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 23 ∘ . You're sitting on the very top of the roof when Peter, who is on the edge of the roof, 5.2 m away, asks you for the box of nails. Rather than carry the 2.3 kg box of nails down to Peter, you decide to give the box a push and have it slide down to him. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof is 0.52, with what speed should you push the box to have it gently come to rest right at the edge of the roof?
Let us make the (unrealistic) assumption that a boat of mass m gliding with initial velocity v0 in water is slowed by a viscous retarding force of magnitude bv2, where b is a constant, (a) Find and sketch v(t). How long does it take the boat to reach a speed of v0/l000? (b) Find x(t). How far does the boat travel in this time? Let m = 200 kg, v0 = 2 m/s, and b = 0.2 Nm-2s2.
There are two forces on the 1.19 kg box in the overhead view of the figure but only one is shown. For F1 = 15.7 N, a = 14.7 m/s2, and θ = 34.1°, find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) a direction. (State the direction as a negative angle measured from the +x direction.)
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
If it takes a human cannonball 1.8 s to exit a 1.9 m long cannon and the average net force acting on the performer is 159 N, what is the performer’s mass?
A 3.5 kg particle moves along an x axis according to x(t) = −12 + 5t2 − 4t3, with xin meters and t in seconds. In unit-vector notation, what is the net force acting on theparticle at t = 6 s?
A friend on skis stands still on level ground, covered with dry snow at 08 C. How hard would you have to push your friend in the forward, horizontal direction to move him if your friend weighs 800 N?
Tarzan, who weighs 820 N, swings from a cliff at the end of a 20.0 m vine that hangs from a high tree limb and initially makes an angle of 22.0 with the vertical. Assume that an x axis extends horizontally away from the cliff edge and a y axis extends upward. Immediately after Tarzan steps off the cliff, the tension in the vine is 760 N. Just then, what are (a) the force on him from the vine in unit-vector notation and the net force on him (b) in unit-vector notation and as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? What are the (e) magnitude and (f) angle of Tarzan’s acceleration just then?
A 500 [g] particle has velocity vx= −2.0 [m/s] at t= 0 [s].Force Fx = (4 − t^2) [N] is exerted on the particle between t= 0 [s] and t= 2 [s].What is the particle’s velocity at t= 2 [s] ?
