A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 17.4 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope inclined at 20.8° above the horizontal. The sledge moves a distance of 20.0 m on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sledge and surface is 0.500. (a) What is the tension in the rope? (b) How much work is done by the rope on the sledge? kJ (c) What is the mechanical energy lost due to friction? kJ

Move over Jeff Bezos, this invention is about to make you the richest person in the world. You have just invented the OyOy (that's YoYo spelled backwards). It is the very latest in home safety and so easy to use!If your building is on fire, simply reach out and grab the cord on the OyOy and you will be lowered safely toward the ground at a low velocity. The OyOy has a total mass M = 94.0 kg and is shaped like a cylinder of radius R = 0.810 meters. The secret to the operation of the OyOy is its patented shaft whose radius is only r = 0.0800 meters. The cord is wound around the small shaft and this is the secret to your low velocity. We will use the approximation that the shaft is of negligible mass compared to the total. This means that you can treat the entire OyOy as though it is a solid cylinder with mass M and radius R. Imagine that a customer of mass m = 85.5 kg is using the OyOy and begins his decent from an initial height of y0 = 11.20 meters.Determine all the following:The…

A street ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 16.1 m and rebounds to a height of 1.34 m. a. Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 0.0900 ms. b. What distance did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid.
Calculate the final speed of the 2.00-kg object that is pushed for d =25.0 m by the F = 50.0 N force on a level, frictionless floor (see the figure below). Assume the object starts from rest. V = ? 2 kg at rest $20° F d 2 kg 1) Calculate the final speed. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) S
What will the ball's velocity be at the bottom if its released from a height of 20cm?
