17. A few weeks ago in lab you were releasing gliders down a tilted frictionless air track. Assume the track surface is tilted by 18 degrees from the horizontal. The glider is released from rest at t=0, and passes through a gate, which is a distance d along the track from the starting position, 0.90 seconds later. What is d (to 2 sig.figs)?

2. A 1.0 kg block initially at rest falls vertically and lands on a massless spring. Assume that the block comes to a stop momentarily after it compresses the spring. The block is initially 0.1 m away from the spring and the spring constant k = 1000 N/m. Use g = 9.8 m/s2 as the gravitational acceleration. (a) (b) subsequent state of motion of the block and explain your answer. %3D How much is the spring compressed? What happens after the block comes to a momentary stop? That is, analyze the
In the figure, a 3.7 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo = 6.5 m/s, the height difference is h = 1.2 m, and u = 0.606. Find d. Vo Number i Units

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. O 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.

Sam, whose mass is 80 kgkg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 160 NN and a coefficient of kinetic friction on snow of 0.10.1. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 15 ss . What is Sam's top speed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure 1. The system isreleased from rest while m2 is on the floor and m1 is a distance h above the floor.a) Assuming m1 > m2, find an expression for the speed of m1 just as it reaches the floor.b) Taking m1=6.5 kg, m2=4.2 kg, and h=3.2 m, evaluate your answer to part (a).c) Find the speed of each block when m1 has fallen a distance of 1.6m.
