Two brothers are throwing a ball back and
forth between the yard and a second
storey window of a house. The brother in
the yard throws the ball upward at a
speed of 10 m/s at an angle of 60 above
the horizontal. If the brother in the window
is 3 m above the first brother and catches
the ball before it reaches the top of its arc,
how long was the ball in the air?
A car enters a curve travelling at speed v0 and
speeds up continuously from where it enters the
curve to where it exits the curve travelling at
speed v1. The figure shows the car as seen from
above. At the point shown, which of the arrows in
the figure shows the direction of the static friction
force from the ground on the car?
You buy a beautiful 20. kg block of cheese, wrap it
in a box of negligible mass and push that box
across a wooden floor with a coefficient of kinetic
friction of µk= 0.20. Your pushing force makes an
angle of θ=30° with the horizontal. The box starts at
rest and after you have travelled 10. metres, the
box is moving with a speed of v=2.0 m/s. With
what force are you pushing on the box?
A ball is attached to a string of length L=43 cm, which is
pulled back from vertical by an angle θ=19.5°. If the ball is
released, what speed will it have at the moment when it
swings back down to hang vertically?

 Spring-hill example 1

Example: a present (m=0.20 kg) is launched by a

spring (k=250 N/m) which is compressed by a distance
from its equilibrium of x = 0.50 m. It climbs a
frictionless hill (h=8.00 m) and encounters a rough
patch on top with µK = 0.400. How far will it travel
along the rough patch?
 Spring-hill example 2

A block of mass m is loaded into a spring cannon

which has a spring with spring constant k. The
block is compressed a distance x and launched
toward a hill. The hill has a total height h, distance
along the hill of d and a coefficient of kinetic friction
of µk. Assuming the block pressed back far enough
to make it to the top of the hill, how far does it fly
through the air?

A small block of mass m=0.5 kg slides along a
frictionless track shown in the figure below. The track
consists of a straight ramp connected to a circular track
of radius R=1.0 m. If the block starts from rest and
drops a total distance of h=2.0 m from where it starts to
point A, what is the magnitude of the normal force
exerted on the block at point A?
 Ski jumper example

A ski jump needs to have a launch velocity for skiers of

30 m/s. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 30° with
respect to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between skis and snow is µk=0.04. How high
does the top of the ramp need to be?

= 30 v=30 m/s
