During terrible weather at a ski-flying world championship, a ski jumper tried to adjust for bad conditions midway down the ramp but completely lost control and tumbled wildly off the side at its bottom into a scattering crowd. The 73-kg jumper left the ramp about 45 m lower than his starting position. Determine his speed at the 45-m elevation point. Round the final answer to one decimal place.

In a truck-loading station at a post office, a small 0.200 kg package is released from rest at point A on a track that is one-quarter of a circle with radius 1.60 mm (Figure 1). The size of the package is much less than 1.60 mm, so the package can be treated as a particle. It slides down the track and reaches point B with a speed of 5.40 m/sm/s. From point B, it slides on a level surface a distance of 3.00 mm to point C, where it comes to rest. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction on the horizontal surface? How much work is done on the package by friction as it slides down the circular arc from A to B
Suppose I need to toss an object of mass 5.2 up onto a shelf 5.94 meters above where my hands can reach. What is the minimum speed of toss necessary to do this? Your answer should be in meters per second, but don't write teh unit, just the number. You can approximate the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface as 10 meters per square second.
A block is launched up a 3.75 m high frictionless inclined plane (0 = 35.0°) with an %3D initial speed of vo = 12.5 m/s as shown in the figure below. (a) What is the block's %3D speed as it leaves the ramp? (b) How far from the base of the ramp does the block land? (Air resistance is negligible) Vo=12.5 m/s 3.75 m 0= 35.0° X= ?
13. A block slides along a track with an initial velocity vo = 7.0 m/s from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The difference h from the initial position to the elevated track is 0.89 m. The track is frictionless until reaches the top. What is the velocity of the block when it reaches the top of the track?
A trap-jaw ant snaps its mandibles shut at very high speed, a good trait for catching small prey. But an ant can also slam its mandibles into the ground; the resulting force can launch the ant into the air for a quick escape. A 12 mg ant hits the ground with an average force of 47 mN for a time of 0.10 ms; these are all typical values. At what speed does it leave the ground? Answer out to 3 decimal places.
The Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, is one of the world’s most impressive roller coasters. Wearing only a lap harness in the open air, riders on a 10.5-ton train are accelerated by hydraulic motors on a level track to 120 mph in just 3.8 s. After this, no more power is supplied to the train, and it moves on its own. The train shoots straight up (twisting along the way) along the track to a height of 420 ft, before a straight-down descent. Calculate the kinetic energy of the train after the 3.8-s launch. Round the final answer to two decimal places.

John reached a speed of 29 m/s in the downhillskiing competition. Suppose he left the slope at that speed andthen slid freely along a horizontal surface. If the coefficient ofkinetic friction between his feet and the ground was 0.27 andhis final speed was half of his initial speed, find the distance hetraveled.
A semitrailer is coasting downhill along a mountain highway when its brakes fail. The driver pulls onto a runaway-truck ramp that is inclined at an angle of 14.08 above the horizontal. The semitrailer coasts to a stop after traveling 154 m along the ramp. What was the truck’s ini- tial speed? Neglect air resistance and friction.
