A point mass m slides without friction from O = (0,0) to P = (a, b) on a curve C under the action of constant gravity (see Figure) with vanishing initial velocity. The time it takes for m to reach P is given by P 1 -ds, Jo T = where ds = V(dr)² + (dy)² and v is the speed. The goal is P=(a,b) y to find the curve C that minimises T. (a) Write T as T = Sº F[y(x), y'(x)]dx and determine the function F. (b) Making use of F – y = const (see Problem 1), derive the relation y' y ƏF dy' V# - 1, where d is a constant. (c) Use the parametric representation y(@) = d sin² = $(1 – cos ø) and determine r(6). %3D The extremal curve is a cycloid.

On Mars, a ball is rolling from a ground to a hill, and we know the height of the hill, Z, is 10 m, and the initial velocity ofthe ball on the ground and the final velocity on the hill are known: V1 = 20 m/s and V2 = 10 m/s, respectively. The mass ofthe ball, m, is 4 kg. The gravitational acceleration on Mars, gMars, is 3.7 m/s2. Please calculate 1) the change in kineticenergy, ΔKE, in J and 2) the change in potential energy, ΔPE, in J, of the ball for the rolling process.

A ball is tied to one end of a string. The other end of the string is held fixed. The ball is set moving around a vertical circle without friction, and with speed √ at the top of the circle, as in Fig given below. At what angle θ should the string be cut so that the ball will then travel through the center of the circle?
A skier/snowboarder starts at rest at the top of a snowy (friction-free) hill with height h1. After the bottom of this hill there is a small “jump” hill. The top of the jump has height h2 and a curvature of radius R. What is the minimum height of the starting hill, h1min, so that the skier/snowboarder jumps or “catches air” at the top of hill 2? Solve for h1min in terms of h2, R, and g. Hint: if the skier/snowboarder jumps, he/she/they lose contact with the snowy ground.

Modern roller coasters have vertical loops like the one shown. The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be greater than the acceleration due to gravity, keeping the passengers pressed firmly into their seats. What is the speed of the roller coaster at the top of the loop if the radius of curvature there is 15.0 m and the downward acceleration of the car is 1.50 g?
The lift force on an airplane of mass 897 kg with speed v is given by c v2 (N), where c is some constant depending on the air density and wing geometry. The lift force points perpendicular to the wings of the plane, so that if the plane banks by, say 10 degrees, then the lift force turns 10 degrees from the vertical. Now suppose that the pilot of this plane wishes to complete a flat turn of radius 931 m with speed 104 m/s. How much should they bank the plane, in degrees? (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
A particle is subject to uniform gravity and the linear resistance force -mKv, where K is a positive constant and v is the velocity of the body. Initially the particle is projected with speed u in a direction making an angle a with the horizontal. Which of the following is TRUE about the subsequent motion? O It has a vertical asymptote at x = u u cos(a/K) O It has a vertical asymptote at x = (u/K) cos a. O When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is (2u/g) sin(2a). O When u.K/g is small, the range is (u²/g) sin(2a). When u.K/g is small, the time of flight is 2u sin(a/g).
