supposed that the body has an initial velocity of 10m/s and is then pulled 4 meters by a force of magnitude 25N in the direction of the initial velocity, what is its final velocity?
Consider a ski jumper moving down a track to acquire sufficient speed to accomplish the ski jumping
task. The length of the track is I = 30 m and the track makes an angle 0 = 40° with the horizontal. If
the skier starts at the top of the track with zero initial speed, determine the takeoff speed, v2. of the
skier at the bottom of the track using the conservation of energy principle. Assume that the effects of friction and air resistance are negligible.
A car is to be hoisted by elevator to the fourth floor of a parking garage, which is 48 ft above ground. If the elevator can accelerate at 0.6 ft/s, decelerate at 0.3 ft/s, and reach a maximum speed of 8 ft/s, determine the shortest time to make the lift, starting from rest and ending at rest
