After collecting so much Halloween candy, you want to find a secret place to eat it all without being bothered. You see a small hiding place on top of a neighbors shed. Luckily, the neighbor has a ramp that leads up to the roof of the shed. You pull your bag of candy with a mass of 6.2 kg up the frictionless ramp which is at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal. The bag has an acceleration of 1.81 m/s2 parallel to, and UP the ramp while you are pulling
-What is the Normal Force exerted on bag of candy by the ramp?
- What force do you need to pull with in order to give the bag an acceleration of 1.81 m/s2?
A 91 kg janitor wearing running shoes is running across an ice rink at a
speed of 3.2 m/s. They try to stop abruptly, but keep sliding across the
surface of the ice. The ice exerts a frictional force of 13.4 N to slow them
down. How far do they travel before halting to a stop?

At a height of h = 1.8 km the rocket reaches a speed of vf = 342 m/s. At that height the rocket runs out of fuel, so there is no longer any thrust propelling it. Take the positive direction to be upward in this problem B: After the rocket's engine turns off at a height of h = 1.8 km, it continues to move upward due to the velocity that it reached. What is the rocket's acceleration, in meters per second squared, during the period from engine shutoff until it returns to the ground? Ignore air resistance.
