A 200 kg roller coaster is initially moving at 4.0 m/s. The ride reaches a maximum height of 35 m and a top speed of 25 m/s. Finally, 40 seconds after starting, the roller coaster comes to rest on a section of track that is 2 m below the starting height. There are no elastic (spring) forces involved. For the whole ride, the work done by all non-conservative forces combined on the roller coaster is 60900 X

A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. Thecoefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are μs = 0.40 andμk = 0.30, and the puck’s initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surfaceof the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?
a mother and her child are skiing together, and the mother is holding the end of a rope tied to the child's waist. They are moving at a speed of 7.2 kph on a gently sloping portion of the ski slope when the morher observes that they are approaching a steep descrnt. She pulls on the rope with an average force of 15 N. Knowing the coefficient of frivtion between the mother and the ground is 0.2, the mass of the mother is 62 kg and the angle of the rope does not change, determine the acceleration of the mother, the time reuired dor the mother's speed to be cut in half, and the distance traveled.

The ball launcher in a pinball machine has a spring that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined 10.0° with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed 5.00 cm. Find the distance along the incline that the ball will go to (from the mean position of the spring), if the friction force = 0.1N. Mass of the ball = 20 gram.
A 500 g particle has velocity vx = -8.0 m/s at t =-2 s. Force Fx=(4−t^2)N, where t is in s, is exerted on the particle between t=−2s and t = 2 s. This force increases from 0 N at t = -2 s to 4 N at t = 0 s and then back to 0 N at t = 2 s. What is the particle's velocity at t=2 s?

Using a simple pulley and rope system, a crewman on an Arctic expedition is trying to lower a crate of mass ?1=5.13 kg to the bottom of a steep ravine of height ?=22.5 m. The crewman of mass ?2=60.9 kg is walking while holding the rope, being careful to lower the crate at a constant speed of ?0=1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point ℎ=12.5 m above the ground, the crewman steps on a slick patch of ice and slips. The crate immediately accelerates toward the ground, dragging the hapless crewman across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. Assuming the ice is perfectly slick, so that there is no friction between the crewman and the ice once he slips and falls down, at what speed ?1 will the crate hit the ground? Assume also that the rope is long enough to allow the crate to hit the ground before the crewman slides over the side of the cliff, and that the pulley is frictionless. ?1=. m/s At what speed ?2 will the crewman hit the bottom of the ravine? Assume no…
