A 730 N student stands in the middle of a frozen pond having a radius 5.0 m. She is unable to get to the other side due to a lack of friction between her shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, she throws her 2.6 kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 5.0 m/s. How long does it take her to reach the south shore?

A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
A golf ball (m = 67.8 g) is hit by a clab that makes an angle of 25.1° with the horizontal. The ball lands 222 m away on a flat fairway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2. If the golf club and ball are in contact for 3.34 ms, what is the average force of impact? Neglect air resistance. Answer in units of N.
Multiple-Concept Example 5 reviews many of the concepts that play a role in this problem. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 32.5° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.244. She coasts for a distance of 12.3 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 3.67 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands? Number i eTextbook and Media Save for Later Units Attempts: 0 of 5 used Submit Answer
Dr. Jekyll (m = 70kg) is riding a skateboard when he realizes the cranberry juice he’s drinking is sweetened with artificial sweetener and turns into Mr. Hyde (m = 155kg). If Dr. Jekyll was initially moving at 6.5m/s, what is Mr. Hyde’s speed? (assume no external forces act)
An object of mass 12.9 kg enters a rough floor with speed of 10.1 m/s. The coefficient of friction between the floor and the object is 0.30 and the object moves 2.07 m before returning to a smooth surface (frictionless). What is the velocity of the object once it returns to the smooth surface?
An constant applied force of 40.1 N lifts an 2.50 kg mass straight up, resulting in a final speed of 3.6 m/s. What distance did the mass move if it was initially at rest?
As illustrated in the figure, consider a soccer player kicking a stationary ball of mass m = 0.5 kg. Assuming that the air resistance is negligible, the ball undergoes a projectile motion (shown in figure). It is recorded that the angle of release of the ball is 0 = 25.2° and the maximum height reached by the ball is h = 4.5 m. If the time during which the foot of the soccer player remained in contact with the ball is At = determine: (a) The speed of release, V, of the ball 0.12 s, (b) The horizontal distance, I, between the initial position of the ball and the landing point (c) The momentum, p, of the ball at the instant of takeoff (d) The magnitude of force, F, applied on the ball by the soccer player У
A small object is initially at rest at the top of a large solid sphere that is fixed on the ground. The small object then begins to slide along the surface of the large solid sphere, without friction. V₁ = 0 RI Part (a) Find the angle at which the small object loses contact with the large solid sphere. Part (b) Find the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the small object before it hits the ground. Take (xi, y₁) = (0,2R) as the coordinates for the top of the large solid sphere.
At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 8.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m. A diver runs horizontally along the diving board with a speed of v0 = 4.2 m/s and then falls into the pool. Neglect air resistance. Use a coordinate system with the horizontal x-axis pointing in the direction of the diver’s initial motion, and the vertical y-axis pointing up. Determine the horizontal distance, dw in meters, from the edge of the pool to where the diver enters the water.

Two students are pushing crates across a frictionless floor. The crates are initially at rest. Bing applies a horizontal force of 13 N to his crate. Bob, who is taller than Bing, pushes on his crate at an angle of 53 degrees below the horizontal, also with a force of 13 N. Find the ratio of the masses of the two crates if Bing's crate is moving at twice the speed of Bob's crate after they have traveled a distance of 23.5 m across the floor?
