A 10-kg mass and a 5-kg mass are connected by a string. The string is hung taut over a pulley such that the 5-kg mass is resting on the ground, and the 10-kg mass is 0.35m above the ground. The 10-kg mass is released from rest, causing it to fall while the 5.0-kg mass is pulled upward. What is the common speed of the two masses at the moment just before the 10-kg mass reaches the ground?
A fire breaks out on a high rise building and a rescue helicopter is called to the scene. The helicopter is equipped with a rescue basket attached by a strong cable to a winch on the helicopter. The rescue basket is lowered to the roof and some occupants of the top floor escape to the roof and enter the basket. As the helicopter takes off, the cable momentarily makes a 78.2° angle to the horizontal, imparting a slight horizontal acceleration to the 621-kg basket and occupants across the roof top. The coefficient of friction between the basket and the roof top is 0.568 and the tension in the cable is 4980 N. Determine the acceleration of the basket and occupants. (Suggestion: Begin with a free body diagram.)
An archer aims her arrow directly at the stem of a coconut hanging from a nearby palm tree in hopes of knocking it to the ground. At the precise moment she releases the arrow, the coconut loses its life-long battle with gravity and falls from the tree. Why will the arrow still hit the coconut?

- The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24, 1998. Its mass was 474 kg. The goal of the mission was to test a new kind of engine called an ion propulsion drive. This engine generated only a weak thrust, but it could do so over long periods of time with the consumption of only small amounts of fuel. The mission was spectacularly successful.
