Chapter 8, Problem 8.19P
A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 47.0 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.60 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom of the slope his speed is 6.20 m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.

2.70 Egg Drop. You are on the Figure P2.70
roof of the physics building, 46.0 m
above the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your
physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall,
is walking alongside the building at
a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you
wish to drop an egg on your profes-
sor's head, where should the profes-
sor be when you release the egg?
Assume that the egg is in free fall.
