A physics experiment involves the launching of a projectile from an Olympic Bob Sled track. The projectile is an empty Bob Sled, with a mass of 180 kg. The Sled starts moving from rest at the location labeled "A" on the diagram shown below. (There is no friction.) a) What is the Total Energy of the Sled at Location-A? b) What is the Launch Velocity of the Sled? c) At maximum height in flight, how high above the ground is the sled?

When a man stands near the edge of an empty drainage ditch of depth 2.80 m, he can barely see the boundary between the opposite wall and bottom of the ditch as in Figure (a) shown below. The distance from his eyes to the ground is h = 1.96 m. (Assume θ = 31.2∘.) (a) What is the horizontal distance d from the man to the edge of the drainage ditch? d = m (b) After the drainage ditch is filled with water as in Figure (b) shown above, what is the maximum distance x the man can stand from the edge and still see the same boundary? x = m

A hanging weight, with a mass of m1 = 0.360 kg, is attached by a string to a block with mass m2 = 0.850 kg as shown in the figure below. The string goes over a pulley with a mass of M = 0.350 kg. The pulley can be modeled as a hollow cylinder with an inner radius of R1 = 0.0200 m, and an outer radius of R2 = 0.0300 m; the mass of the spokes is negligible. As the weight falls, the block slides on the table, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is μk = 0.250. At the instant shown, the block is moving with a velocity of vi = 0.820 m/s toward the pulley. Assume that the pulley is free to spin without friction, that the string does not stretch and does not slip on the pulley, and that the mass of the string is negligible. (a) Using energy methods, find the speed of the block (in m/s ) after it has moved a distance of 0.700 m away from the initial position shown. m/s (b) What is the angular speed of the pulley (in rad/s) after the block has moved this distance? rad/s

Two blocks are set up as shown. The blocks are released from rest and static friction is not enough to hold them. The pulley has no mass. The system moves to the right. The coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.350 and θ = 35.0. The mass of the block on the ramp is m1 = 25.0 kg and the mass of the hanging block is m2 = 40 kg. a. Sketch and label all the forces acting on each of the blocks. (You may draw these forces on the image or in free-body diagrams.) b. What is the rate of acceleration of the blocks? c. What is the tension in the rope?
