38. Realizing that he could not drive up a 30°, ice-covered hill because there was no friction, Sir Isaac Newton had stopped his cart, of total mass 500 kg, at the bottom. He was struck in the rear by a London stage coach, of total mass 1500 kg. trav- elling at 20 m/s. The two vehicles stuck together, with nothing breaking loose, and slid up the hill in a straight line. How far up the slope did the wreckage get before coming to rest? (SIN "70)

lower a crate of mass ?1=5.00 kgm1=5.00 kg to the bottom of a steep ravine of height ?=25.0 mH=25.0 m. The crewman of mass ?2=55.6 kgm2=55.6 kg is walking while holding the rope, being careful to lower the crate at a constant speed of ?0=1.50 m/sv0=1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point ℎ=13.9 mh=13.9 m above the ground, the crewman steps on a slick patch of ice and slips. The crate immediately accelerates toward the ground, dragging the hapless crewman across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. Assuming the ice is perfectly slick, so that there is no friction between the crewman and the ice once he slips and falls down, at what speed ?1v1 will the crate hit the ground? Assume also that the rope is long enough to allow the crate to hit the ground before the crewman slides over the side of the cliff, and that the pulley is frictionless. ?1

Vmax In a laboratory experiment, a sphere of diameter 8.0 mm is released from rest at t = 0 at the surface of honey in a jar, and the sphere's downward speed v when it travels in the honey is found to be given by v = Vmax (1 - e-t/T), where 0.040 m/s and T = 0.50 s. (a) Obtain an expression for a(t). (b) Draw graphs for v(t) and a(t) for the time interval 0 to 2.0 s. (c) Obtain an expression for x(t), choosing the positive x axis as downward, and draw the graph for this func- tion.

4. A fisherman in a boat catches a shark with a harpoon. The shark struggles for a while and then becomes limp when at a distance of 300 m from the boat. The fisherman pulls the shark all the way to the boat by the rope attached to the harpoon. During this operation, the boat (initially at rest) moves 45 m in the direction of the shark. The mass of the boat is 5400 kg. What is the mass of the shark? Pretend that the water exerts no friction. (Hint: Friction is ignored, so there are no external forces, and the center of mass of the system (the shark and boat) should not move at all.) A) 953 kg B) 477 kg C) 318 kg from the left and of
