A man unloads a 5.0-kg box from a moving van by giving it an initial speed of 1.3 m/s down a ramp that makes an angle of 20 with the horizontal. It slides with negligible friction for 2.7 m along the ramp before reaching the mans helper. What is the speed of the box as the helper catches it?
Integrated Concepts A 105-kg basketball player crouches down 0.400 m while waiting to jump.

A small particle of mass m is pulled to the top of a friction less half-cylinder (of radius R) by a light cord that passes over the top of the cylinder as illustrated in Figure P7.15.

Note: If the particle moves at constant speed, the component of its acceleration tangent to the cylinder must be zero at all times.

Jane, whose mass is 50.0 kg, needs to swing across a river (having width D) filled with person-eating crocodiles to save Tarzan from danger. She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F, on a vine having length L and initially making an angle with the vertical (Fig. P7.81). Take D = 50.0 m, F = 110 N, L = 40.0 m, and = 50.0. (a) With what minimum speed must Jane begin her swing to just make it to the other side? (b) Once the rescue is complete, Tarzan and Jane must swing back across the river. With what minimum speed must they begin their swing? Assume Tarzan has a mass of 80.0 kg.
