5. A machine at a post office sends packages out a chute and down a ramp to be loaded into delivery vehicles. (a) Calculate the acceleration of a box heading down a 10° slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for a parcel on waxed wood is 0.100. (b) Find the angle of the slope down which this box could move at a constant velocity. You can neglect air resistance in both parts.

7. The effects of atmospheric drag cannot be deglected, in general, on the dynamics of objects moving through the air. The drag force is found to be FD where p is the density of air, A is the cross sectional area of the object, v is the object's velocity, and Cp is the so called drag coefficient. For a baseball Cp is measured to be - .5ρA Cp υ?, .3. (a) If the baseball is launched vertically with a speed of 90 miles per hour, how high will it travel? How would the answer change ignoring air resistance? (b) What is the speed of the baseball when it comes back down? How would the answer change if there was no air resistance? (c) How long does it take for the baseball to go up? Down? How would the anwers change in the absence of air resistance?

5. Two blocks, connected by a string which can be considered massless, are wrapped around a frictionless, massless pulley as shown below (in effect, the mass of the puliey and string can be considered negligible as compared to that of the blocks). If the bottom block is pulled with a force of 39.2N it is found that each block slides at a constant velocity. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is equal for all surfaces, determine such coefficient. The masses of block 1 and blocks 2 are 4kg and 2kg respectively. m2 m,
