A 50kg open cart is rolling to the left at a speed of 3 m/s. There is a chute for packages to slide down to land in the cart to reach their destination. A 15 kg package slides down the chute and leaves the end with a horizontal speed of 4 m/s. The end of the chute is 4 meters above the open cart. What is the speed of the package just before it hits the cart? (this is a free fall problem) b. What is the final speed of the package-cart system? (this is a collision problem) a.

Fleas have remarkable jumping ability. A 0.55 mg flea, jumping straight up, would reach a height of 30 cm if there were no air resistance. In reality, air resistance limits the height to 20 cm .

At its highest point, what fraction of the initial kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy? f=?
The drawing shows two boxes resting on frictionless ramps. One box is relatively light and sits on a steep ramp. The other box is heavier and rests on a ramp that is less steep.

Ima Bratt is at the park with her father. The 20.0 kg Ima is on a swing following the path as shown below. Ima has a speed of 0 m/s at position A and is a height of 3.0 m above the ground. At position B, Ima is 1.0 m above the ground. At position C (2.0 m above the ground), Ima ejects from the swing seat and travels as a projectile along the path shown. At point F, Ima is a negligible distance above the ground. Assume negligible resistance throughout the motion. How much ME will Ima have at point E? ME- Mechanical Energy
