In the very Dutch sport of ducth-dude-on-a-pole, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 70kg vaulter is moving at 3.5m/s and is 5.0m from the bottom end of the pole. What force would the vaulter exert on the pole (in magnitude)?

The act of bowling a ball can be rather involved, but in its simplest form the bowler swings her arm in a roughly circular arc, releasing the ball just a moment after it passes through the bottom of the arc. By the time the ball is at the bottom of the arc, its speed is not changing anymore. A decent bowler can make the ball travel the length of the 60-ft alley in about 2.1 s. Ignore the (small) friction between the ball and the lane, so the ball travels at constant speed, once released. Calculate the speed of the ball moving across the alley when the bowler releases it? Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. In what direction is the ball accelerating when it’s at the bottom of the swing and the bowler has not yet released it? If the bowler has 2-ft-long arms, estimate the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration. Round the final answer to the nearest whole number. Estimate the total force on the 14-lb ball.

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.
One side of the roof of a house slopes up at 37 deg. A roofer kicks a round, flat rock that has been thrown into the roof by a neighborhood child. The rock slides straight up the incline with an initial speed of 15 m/s. The coef. of friction between the rock and the roof is 0.40. The rock slides 10.0 m up the roof to its peak. It crosses the ridge and goes into free fall, following a parabolic trajectory above the far side of the roof, with negligible air resistance. Determine the maximum height the rock reaches above the point where it was kicked.
A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.85 m high 29.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 18.2 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s², calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02. Submit Answer Tries 0/10
At its Ames Research Center, NASA uses its large “20 G” centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations (“hypergravity”) on test pilots and astronauts. In this device, an arm 8.84 m long rotates about one end in a horizontal plane, and an astronaut is strapped in at the other end. Suppose that he is aligned along the centrifuge’s arm with his head at the outermost end. The maximum sustained acceleration to which humans are subjected in this device is typically 12.5g. (a) How fast must the astronaut’s head be moving to experience this maximum acceleration? (b) What is the difference between the acceleration of his head and feet if the astronaut is 2.00 m tall? (c) How fast in rpm 1rev>min2 is the arm turning to produce the maximum sustained acceleration?

You are playing Hot Rod toy cars with your nephew and niece. Your nephew wanted to show off how fast he could launch a Hot Rod off the dining table 1.1 m above the floor by thrusting the car forward very fast but was no match against your niece who compensated slight lack of speed by pushing the car straight forward reaching a speed of 3.0 m/s at the edge of the table top when she let go of it. How far did her car land horizontally from the edge of the table?

The rotation of the earth causes a centrifugal effect on a mass near the surface of the earth. This slightly changes the effective acceleration due to gravity. We can call the old acceleration due to gravity go and the effective acceleration geff. a. Show that the angle between go and geff can be expressed as /55'R sin(e) cos(0)) = tan Go - Ns/s, R sin²(0) where 0 is the angle between the angular velocity of earth and the position of the mass near the surface of the earth. b. How small that o if 0 is 45° and R is the radius of the earth. m Tm/S
