Problem 10: While watching the clouds pass by, you notice a European swallow flying horizontally at a height h = 21.9 m above you. When the swallow is directly overhead, it drops an m = 10.7 kg coconut. From your ornithological studies, you know that the air-speed of this particular species of swallow while carrying such a load is vo = 7.73 m/s. In this problem you may neglect air friction. Refer to the diagram. Assume the origin of the coordinate system there is at your head.

In the figure, a 3.6 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 = 6.8 m/s, the height difference is h = 0.99 m, and uk = 0.592. Find d. d H = 0- Number Units the tolerance is +/-5%
A glider of mass 0.275kg is placed at rest on an air track that has an angle of inclination of 10°. The height of the glider above the table is 30cm. The glider is released traveling 1.15m down along the track. When the glider is at 10cm above the height of the table, the velocity is 1.5m/s. What is the frictional force acting on the glider?
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.
Tiny Spring: A tiny silica bead attached to a strand of DNA can be used to study the mechanical properties of DNA. The system can be approximated as a mass on a spring constrained to move in one dimension. In one such experiment, a bead of mass 7.8 × 10¬15 kg was attached to a strand of DNA with 1623 base pairs and observed for 720 seconds. (a) If the root mean square velocity of the bead is 7.56 x 10-4 m/s, at what temperature was the experiment carried out? (b) If the root mean square displacement of the particle is measured to be 1.18 × 10-7 m, what is the spring constant of the DNA molecule?

A small sphere of mass m is launched horizontally over a body of water from a height h above the water and with a launch speed v0. Determine expressions for the following in terms of m, v0, h, and g. Air resistance is negligibly small. W is the amount of work done by the force of gravity on the projectile during its flight. ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy ΔKE of the projectile from the time it was fired until it hits the water. KEf is the final kinetic energy KEf of the projectile as it hits the water.
