Gayle runs at a speed of 3.95 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 47.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.40 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s

Sam, whose mass is 80 kgkg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 160 NN and a coefficient of kinetic friction on snow of 0.10.1. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 15 ss . What is Sam's top speed? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Shown below is a graph of the 1-dimensional force FYP,x(x), that you exert on a particle of mass 8 kg. The point 0,0 is in the lower-left corner. Each vertical grid line is 1 N, and each horizontal grid line is 1 m. The particle starts at x=4 m with a velocity of 12.19 m/s and reaches x=22 m under the action of only the force in the graph, i.e. the force shown is the net force. What is the speed of the particle when it reaches x=22?
The total mass of the sled and the driver on it in the figure is 125 kg. The driver is moving up a frictionless icy hill with a speed of 22.5 m/s. How far will the sled descend from the cliff after it passes above the hill?

Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 48 cm and holds it in position with a force of 163 N. If the mass of the arrow is 51 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow? v=v= m/s A boy throws a ball of mass 0.2 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 22 m/s When the ball returns to the boy, its speed is 17 m/s How much work does air resistance do on the ball during its flight?

In the figure, a 4.2 kg block slides along a track from one level to a higher level after passing through an intermediate valley. The track is frictionless until the block reaches the higher level. There a frictional force stops the block in a distance d. The block's initial speed is vo = 6.3 m/s, the height difference is h = 0.96 m, and Hk = 0.612. Find d. H = 0- Number Units
