A small block slides at a speed v= 8 ft/s on a horizontal surface at a height h= 3 ft above the ground. Determine (a) the angle 0 at which it will leave the cylindrical surface BCD, (b) the distance x at which it will hit the ground. Neglect friction and air resistance.
The subway train shown is traveling at a speed of 25 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied on the wheels of cars B and
C, causing them to slide on the track, but are not applied on the wheels of car A. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35
between the wheels and the track.

. A 60-kg engineering student decides to bungy jump from the famous
Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown. The bridge is 43 m above the river and
the operators choose a 30-m long cable for her (i.e. she will free-fall the
first 30 metres). After the cable is taught, her downward acceleration is
given by 9.81 – 6.4s m/s? where s is measured from point B as shown on
the right. Assume her initial velocity at A is zero. Ignore air resistance
and any horizontal motion. Treat the student as a particle.
