The figure to the right shows a pool slide of length 5.50 m. The end point of the slide is at 30.0 cm above the water level on the pool. During a summer vacation, an initially at rest 34.5 kg child slides from the top and splashes into the pool water at a speed of 8.00 m/s. While sliding, the child encounters a constant friction of 45.0 N. (a) What is the speed of the child at the end of the slide? (b) At what height above the water leyel should the pool slide start? h 1 30.0 cm 5.50 m

You decide to launch a rockof mass m1 using a tube containing a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is at equilibrium, it fills the entire tube. To launch a rock, you push it into the tube, compressing the spring a distance d, at which point a locking mechanism holds the spring(and the rock) in place. When the lockis released, the spring pushes the rock to the end of the tube where it will be launched into the air. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the inside surface of the tube is given by μk. You setup the launcher at an angle q above the horizontal with the spring end buried such that when the spring is compressed and locked, the rock is at ground level. a)Find the work done on the rock by non-conservative forces as it moves from the point of release to the end of the tube. Express your answer in terms of μk, m1, q, d, and any necessaryconstants. b) Find the velocity of the rockvfas it exits the launch tube in terms of μk, k, m1, q, d, and any…
Problem 4 134. Astronomy About 65 million years ago an aster- oid struck Earth in the area of the Yucatan Peninsula and wiped out the dinosaurs and many other life forms. Judging from the size of the crater and the effects on Earth, the asteroid was about 10 km in diameter (assumed spherical) and probably had a density of 2.0 g/cm³ (typi- cal of asteroids). Its speed was at least 11 km/s. (a) What is the maximum amount of ocean water (originally at 20 °C) that it could have evaporated? Express your answer in kilograms and treat the ocean as though it were fresh- water. (b) If the water were formed into a cube, how high would it be? (See Tables 14-3 and 14-4 as needed.)
A 31.0-kg skateboarder rides on a 10.0-kg skateboard at 5.7 m/s on a level road before jumping into air with a speed of 10.0 m/s against the ground in the direction of 27.0◦ above the forward, horizontal direction to leave the skateboard.

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 85 kg, and that the magnitude of the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 *105 N.What are (a) the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely and (b) the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?
