A wrench is dropped from the top of a tall tower. It takes 3.07 s to reach the ground. How tall is the tower, in meters? Assume the wrench’s initial velocity is zero, use 9.80 m/s2 as the acceleration due to gravity, and assume air drag does not matter.
An elevator cab is pulled upward by a cable.The cab and its single occupant have a combined mass of 2000 kg.When that occupant drops a coin, its acceleration relative to the cab is 8.00 m/s2 downward.What is the tension in the cable?
A 132 kg crate is sitting at the top of a ramp, which is inclined at an angle of 20 degrees with
respect to the horizontal. Someone gives the crate a quick shove to get it moving, after which it
slides down the ramp without any further assistance. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
crate and the ramp is µs = 0.24. What is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s²) of the crate?
