Review. The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.21 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 18.0 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 170 ms. The ball starts from rest. (a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball?

A small object is initially at rest at the top of a large solid sphere that is fixed on the ground. The small object then begins to slide along the surface of the large solid sphere, without friction. V₁ = 0 RI Part (a) Find the angle at which the small object loses contact with the large solid sphere. Part (b) Find the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the small object before it hits the ground. Take (xi, y₁) = (0,2R) as the coordinates for the top of the large solid sphere.
A city is trying to determine the speed limit for a given stretch of road. If a stop sign is visible from 62.0m on a straight, horizontal stretch of road and the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires of a car is 0.525 then what is the maximum speed for a car in meters per second so that it can come to a complete stop at the stop sign?
A woman pulls a cloth out from under a 200 g bowl sitting on a table. The bowl is 30.0 cm from the far edge of the cloth, and the cloth exerts a friction force of 0.125 N on the bowl. Assume the cloth is pulled with a constant horizontal acceleration of 2.80 m/s2. What distance (in m) does the bowl travel relative to the top of the table? (Assume the cloth moves in the +x-direction and notice that it moves more than 30.0 cm relative to the top of the table.)
A mover has to move a heavy sofa of mass 118 kg to the second floor of the house. He uses a rope to pull the sofa up a ramp from the first to the second floor. As he pulls the sofa he makes sure that the rope is parallel to the surface of the ramp which is at 30.0° to the horizontal. If friction between the sofa and the ramp is negligible, and the sofa has an acceleration of 0.700 m/s2, find the tension in the rope (in N). N

Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2. Suppose the falcon weighs 8.0 N and is turning with an acceleration of 15 m/s2 at the lowest point of the arc. What is the magnitude of the upward lift force at this instant?A. 8.0 N B. 12 NC. 16 N D. 20 N
