A man unloads a 5.0-kg box from a moving van by giving it an initial speed of 1.3 m/s down a ramp that makes an angle of 20 with the horizontal. It slides with negligible friction for 2.7 m along the ramp before reaching the mans helper. What is the speed of the box as the helper catches it?
Integrated Concepts A 105-kg basketball player crouches down 0.400 m while waiting to jump.
