A forest fire is easiest to attack when it’s just getting started. In remote locations, this often means using airplanes to rapidly deliver large quantities of water and fire suppressant to the blaze. The “Superscooper” is an amphibious aircraft that can pick up a 6000 kg load of water by skimming over the surface of a river or lake and scooping water directly into its storage tanks. As it approaches the water’s surface at a speed of 35 m/s, an empty Superscooper has a mass of 13,000 kg.a. It takes the plane 12 s to pick up a full load of water. If we ignore the force on the plane due to the thrust of its propellers, what is its speed immediately after picking up the water?b. What is the impulse delivered to the plane by the water?c. What is the average force of the water on the plane?d. The plane then flies over the fire zone at 40 m/s. It releases water by opening doors in the belly of the plane, allowing the water to fall straight down with respect to the plane. What is the plane’s speed after dropping the water if it takes 5.0 s to do so?

Lark Brandt won a "Worlds Fastest Smash" competition in the early 2000s. His ping pong ball achieved a speed of 112.5 km/hr. If his ping pong ball had a mass of 2.7 g and hit a wooden block with a mass of 125 g and bounced back with a speed of 45.0 km/hr, what speed (in km/hr) would the wooden block have?
You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 56.0 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 2.35 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.346 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? 549.4 N 1,100 N 1,466 N 2,199 N

A person starts from rest at the top of a large frictionless spherical surface, and slides into the water below (see the drawing). At what angle θ does the person leave the surface? (Hint: When the person leaves the surface, the normal force is zero.)
Leah is competing in the national diving championships. She has a mass of 67 kg and leaves the springboard from a height of 2.9 meters above the water surface with a speed of 5.83 m/s in the upward direction. a) Determine Leah’s speed in m/s when she strikes the water. b) Leah’s body plunges to a depth of 2.12 meters below the water surface before coming to a stop. Determine the magnitude of the average force of water resistance in Newtons experienced by her body
Jason takes off across level water on his jet-powered skis. The combined mass of Jason and his skis is 75 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible). The skis produce a forward thrust of 200 N and have a coefficient of kinetic friction with water of 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 90 s. What is Jason's top sneed?
In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 56.5 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform moves 5.95 ✕ 10−5 m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most famous detectives in fiction literature. Even with limited resources to solve crime in the 1800-1900's, Holmes could solve countless mysteries. A carriage was North-bound traveling at a leisurely pace of 5 km/hr. It collided with a Westward-bound speeding carriage and they stuck together, skidding across the dirt at an North-West direction away from the point of collision. What physics law(s) does Sherlock use to solve this mystery? Conservation of Momentum Conservation of Energy Conservation of Angular Momentum Both Conservation of Momentum and Energy OOO O
