When she has fallen for 3.0 s, she hears the echo of her shout from the valley floor below. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. a. How tall is the cliff? b. If we ignore air resistance, how fast will she be moving just before she hits the ground? (Her actual speed will be less than this, due to air resistance.)
Chapter 3: Motion in Two or Three Dimensions What does the component of acceleration parallel to a particle s path tell us with regard to the particle s velocity? What does the component of acceleration perpendicular to a particle s path tell us with regard to the particle s velocity? Give the equation for relative velocity in space. Ex: 3 Win the Prize. In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed giraffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. The dish is on a shelf above the point where the quarter leaves your hand and is a horizontal distance of 2.1 m from this point. If you toss the coin with a velocity of 6.4 m/s at an angle of 60 above the horizontal, the coin will land in the dish. Ignore air resistance. a.

Give the general equation for the force of friction. Ex: 5 A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing. The toolbox will slide out if it is set moving. The coefficients of kinetic friction and static friction between the box and the level bed of the truck are 0.355 and 0.650, respectively. Starting from rest, what is the shortest time this truck could accelerate uniformly to 30.0 m/s without causing the box to slide? Draw a free-body diagram of the toolbox.
Chapter 6: Work and Kinetic Energy energy: work: Give the three most general equations for work. Which equation(s) can be used for constant forces? How can work be positive, zero, or negative?

Ex: 6 At a waterpark, sleds with riders are sent along a slippery, horizontal surface by the release of a large compressed spring. The spring, with force constant k = 40.0 N/cm and negligible mass, rests on the frictionless horizontal surface. One end is in contact with the stationary wall. A sled and rider with total mass 70.0 kg are pushed against the other end, compressing the spring 0.375 m. The sled is then released with zero initial velocity. What is the sled s speed when the spring a. returns to its uncompressed length and b. is still compressed 0.200 m?

Ex: 7 Two blocks with different masses are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light, frictionless pulley suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended 1.20 m, its speed is 3.00 m/s. If the total mass of the two blocks is 22.0 kg, what is the mass of each block?
