In 1908, Washington Senators' catcher Gabby Street caught a baseball dropped from the top of the Washington Monument, a height of 555 feet. A baseball weighs 5.125 ounces. Assume that the drag force is proportional to the velocity and that the drag coefficient is c = 0.0018 lb-sec/ft. How fast (in ft/s) was the baseball going when Street caught it 7 feet above ground level? (Round your answer to the nearest tens place.)

The drag force, Fa, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity Vis given by Fa Ca ApV²/2 where Ca is a constant called the drag coefficient, A is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and p is the air density. An automobile is moving at V = 40 miles per hour with C = 0.28, A = 24 ft², and p = 0.075 lb/ft³. Determine the force, in lbf, and the power, in hp, required to overcome aerodynamic drag.

You have devised an experiment to measure the kinetic coefficient of friction between a ramp and a mass. You place the mass on the ramp at an angle high enough that the mass starts sliding. You measure the time it takes to fall down a known distance. The time it takes to fall down the 45 degree ramp starting from a standstill is At = 0.46 sec, m=1 kg, and the distance it falls, Ax , is 0.5 m. What is µk? m Дх in At Uk
When a hockey player takes a shot from deep in his own zone toward the other end of the rink 400 ft away, one hardly notices the puck slowing down at all. The coefficient of kinetic friction between a puck and the ice is about 0.03. If a player shoots at 100 mph, how fast is the puck moving 400 ft later? Express the answer in miles per hour with four significant digits. If the player shoots at 100 mph, how far would the puck go before it comes to rest? Assume that there is a large lake of ice and no rink. Round the final answer to two decimal places
