3. The organizers of a snowboarding competition have decided that they need to get an engineer to help them design one of the jumps for the competition. They want a tabletop jump and need you to specify the key parameters of the jump so as to provide good air time for the competitors, but also account for safety concerns such as hitting the ground with too much force in the landing area or not jumping far enough and hitting the deck or the knuckle of the tabletop. The general design of the jump is shown below. Assume the height of the end of the jump, h, is 2 m above the deck. Also, assume the competitors have really good wax on their boards so as to be near frictionless.

You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
An inventive child named Nick wants to reach an apple in a tree without climbing the tree. Sitting in a chair connected to a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley (see figure below), Nick pulls on the loose enc of the rope with such a force that the spring scale reads 310 N. Nick's true weight is 310 N, and the chair weighs 160 N. Nick's feet are not touching the ground. Use g=9.8 m/s². (b) Find Nick's acceleration, using upward as positive. m/s² (c) Find the magnitude of the force Nick exerts on the chair. (d*) Instead Nick hands the rope with the scale to his friend Barney, who stands on the ground. Barney pulls on the rope so that the spring scale again reads 310 N. What is Nick's acceleration now, again using upward as positive.

Forces: A 7.60×103 kg transport truck is approaching a 20.0° icy hill that has a bridge at the top that is out of service. The driver immediately slams on the brakes and begins to skid up the hill. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the hill is 0.350. If there is only 131 m from the bottom of the hill to the bridge what maximum speed can the truck initially be going and still avoid an accident?
