Young Hector launches a 200 gram block uphill on a frictionless ramp which is tilted at 30 degrees with the horizontal, as shown in the Figure. At the instant of its launch, the block is moving uphill at 4.00 m/s. Hector observes as the block travels a distance of 50.0 cm uphill on the ramp. In the following, consider the period of time during which the block moves uphill through the 50.0 cm distance shown in the Figure. For simplicity, assume that g = 9.80 m/

A small child is learning to ride a bike for the first time. Her dad decides it would be a good idea to start her on a small hill. The hill is inclined at 3.40° to the horizontal. The child starts partway down the hill, 4.00 m away from her dad, who stays at the top. She starts to wobble, so her dad sprints toward her from rest with an acceleration of 3.80 m/s2. How far has the child gone before her parent catches her?
A ball is thrown eastward into the air from the origin (in the direction of the positive x-axis). The initial velocity is 40 i +64 k, with speed measured in feet per second. The spin of the ball results in a southward acceleration of 4 ft/s2, so the acceleration vector is a = -4 j - 32 k. Where does the ball land? (Round your answers to one decimal place.) X ft from the origin at an angle of 5.7 X from the eastern direction toward the south. 80.4 With what speed does the ball hit the ground?

Inline roller skater is skating on a curved path as shown. The curved path is described as y= f(x)3D 0.18x2. The velocity of the skater once he reaches point A is 4.9 m/s which is increasing at rate of 0.54 m/s2. Calculate the magnitude and direction of skater's acceleration at point A. Note that yA = 9.3 m. Answer:
It's been a great day of new, frictionless snow. Julie starts at the top of the 60° slope with a push-off velocity of 1.7 m/s as shown in the diagram. At the bottom a circular arc carries her through a 90° turn, and then she launches off a 3.0-m-high ramp. How far horizontally is her touchdown point (in m) from the end of the ramp assuming that air resistance is negligible and that the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2?
Keerat and Jenna are trying to drop a round melon (0.40kg) off the roof of the school 15 m tall onto a target on the ground. To consistently hit the target, they know that they need to create a ramp and let the melon roll from the same spot to get a consistent speed. They do a few trials to find that the melon rolls 5.0 m in an average of 3.4 seconds. How far away should the target be so that the melon hits it?
Question Completion Status: A bullet is fired at an initial velocity of 130 m/s horizontally (0 degrees) at the top of a 123 m tall puilding. Neglecting air resistance, determine the velocity in m/s with which the bullet will hit the ground. Use the value of the gravity in 2 decimal place. Use up to 4 decimal places. NOTE: Do not assume that this is the same problem as the previous question. The numerical values for each question are different.
At a particular instant, a hot air balloon is 48.7m above a horizontal field and descending at a rate of 2.67m/s. At this instant, a girl who is riding in the gondola of the balloon throws a ball with a speed of 14.7m/s with a direction that is horizontal in the frame of the gondola. When the balloon lands on the ground, how far, in meters, is she from where the ball landed? Neglect air resistance.
A Ferris wheel with radius 8.5 m initially rotates clockwise at a constant rate by completing 1.25 rev in 40.00 s. It then begins to decelerate at a rate of 0.40 rad/s2 with its only passenger at the top of the wheel. Find the direction of the total acceleration vector. Express your answer as a positive number with respect to the positive x-axis. Choose up and to the right as your positive direction.
A small child is learning to ride a bike for the first time. Her dad decides it would be a good idea to start her on a small hill. The hill is inclined at 3.00° to the horizontal. The child starts partway down the hill, 9.00 m away from her dad, who stays at the top. She starts to wobble, so her dad sprints toward her from rest with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s2. How far has the child gone before her parent catches her?
A clown is juggling four balls simultaneously. Students use a video tape to determine that it takes the clown 0.9 s to cycle each ball through his hands (including catching, transferring, and throwing) and to be ready to catch the next ball. What is the minimum vertical speed the clown must throw each ball upward with?
Two fan carts are on parallel inclined tracks are facing opposite directions. At t=0, the carts are 2.88 m apart with the fans on and they are both given a sharp push toward each other against the direction the fans are pushing them. Cart A begins (after the push) with a speed of 1.35 m/s to the right and has an acceleration of 0.44 m/s? to the left. Cart B begins (after the push) with a speed of 1.05 m/s to the left and has an acceleration to the right of 0.52 m/s?. (Hint: Keep your positive and negative directions consistent for both carts.)
