A factory needs to move packages from one level to another using a ramp. They want to choose a material that has a specific coefficient of friction with the packages that will be sliding down the ramp. What problem could occur if the coefficient of friction were too high? A.Packages would go too fast and could break at the end of the ramp. B.Packages could slow down too quickly and stop before the end of the ramp. C.Packages could break the ramp because gravity would increase. D.Packages could bounce off the ramp because normal force would increase.
8. A delivery person in an elevator is holding a package by an elastic cord. a. What happens to the length of the cord when the elevator accelerates upward? Draw the FBD for the package. b. What happens to the cord length when the elevator slows to a stop after its ascent? Draw the FBD.
7. Which of the following is the condition for the three-force theorem in mechanics? a. The force system should be in equilibrium only b. The force systems should be non-coplanar c.

What is not true about the clean airplane configuration? A. It means simply that the wing flaps and landing gear are retracted, as these are the cause of drag due to the lack of streamlined shape. B. It is defined as an airplane in its cruise configuration. C. It is when flaps or spoilers are deployed and gear down indicating the aircraft is configured for slower flight like when landing or taking off D. It is the flight configuration of a fixed-wing aircraft when its external equipment is retracted to minimize drag, and thus maximize airspeed for a given power setting.
8. A factory needs to move packages from one level to another using a ramp. They want to choose a material that has a specific coefficient of friction with the packages that will be sliding down the ramp. a) What problem could occur if the coefficient of friction were too high? Your answer: O Packages would go too fast and could break at the end of the ramp. O Packages could slow down too quickly and stop before the end of the ramp. O Packages could break the ramp because gravity would increase. O Packages could bounce off the ramp because normal force would increase.

1. A basket coffee filter is very light and has a large drag coefficient. It is possible to stack several filters together so they have the same drag coefficient as a single filter. Suppose you tried dropping one filter from a ladder, then tried dropping two stacked filters from the same height, then 3 and so on. For each try you measure the time taken for the filters to fall to the floor. How would you expect the time for the filters to fall to compare to the number of filters?
