On a windy day, you decide to use a small homemade parachute to travel up a 7.4 degree hill on your frictionless rollerblades. You begin from rest at the bottom of the hill and travel a distance of 23 meters up the hill (measured along the incline), reaching a speed of 14 m/s. You have a mass of 60 kg. Determine the force the wind exerts on the parachute, assuming the force the wind exerts is parallel to the surface of the incline. Use conservation of energy.

An electron is a subatomic particle (m= 9.11 x 10-31 kg) that is subject to electric forces. An electron moving in the +x direction accelerates from an initial velocity of +7.31 x 105 m/s to a final velocity of 1.98 x 106 m/s while traveling a distance of 0.0545 m. The electron's acceleration is due to two electric forces parallel to the x axis: F₁ = 7.52 x 10-¹7 N, and F2, which points in the -x direction. Find the magnitudes of (a) the net force acting on the electron and (b) the electric force F2. F₁ F₁ F₂ F₁ (a) Number i (b) Number i VO X Units Units

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude F(x) = 18.0 N - (0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 8.30 kg box that is sitting on the horizontal, frictionless surface of a frozen lake. F(x) is the only horizontal force on the box.
A truck with mass m has a brake failure while going down an icy mountain road of constant downward slope angle alfa (see figure). Initially the truck is moving downhill at speed v0. After sliding downhill a distance L with negligible friction, the truck driver steers the runaway vehicle onto a runaway truck ramp of constant upward slope angle beta. The truck ramp has a soft sand surface for which the coefficient of rolling friction is f. After an unknown distance D along the ramp the truck comes to a halt. The acceleration of gravity is g. What is the total work Wf done by the friction force on the runway ramp?
Multiple-Concept Example 5 reviews many of the concepts that play a role in this problem. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain that makes an angle of 32.5° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.244.

A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). N
