If you drop a sheet of paper and a book side by side, the book falls faster than the paper. Why?
A bucket that has a mass of 30 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 25 meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.1 kg/m that must be secured to the bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the building it only has mass 24 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building.Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building.
A bucket that has a mass of 15 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 25
meter tall building. You have a rope that has a mass of 0.1 kg/m that must be secured to the
bucket. It takes 1 meter of rope to secure the bucket. Once the bucket reaches the top of the
building it only has mass 10 kg because there was a hole in the bottom and sand was leaking
out at a constant rate while it was being lifted to the top of the building.
Find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building.

The old rope losses 20 kg of holding strength perminute once it’s under tension from any thing over 80 kg. When the rope is tied to a beam, it hangs down with a vertical length of 12.0 m.

The 30.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 250 N/m as shown in Figure P7.73. The spring is un-stretched when the system is as shown in the figure, and the incline is frictionless. The 20.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 20.0 cm down the incline of angle = 40.0 (so that the 30.0-kg block is 40.0 cm above the floor) and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the 30.0-kg block is 20.0 cm above the floor (that is, when the spring is unstretched).

As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle?

Both vines are horizontal when the primates start from rest at the same moment. George and the gorilla meet at the lowest point of their swings. Each is afraid that one vine will break, so they grab each other and hang on. They swing upward together, reaching a point where the vines make an angle of 35.0 with the vertical.
