A roof worker loses his grip on his box of tools while working on a tall house. His box slides down the roof. The roof is angled at 29 degrees with the horizontal. The roof is made of a frictionless material. The box travels 5 m down the roof and then leaves the edge of it 12 m above the ground. a). Figure out the box's velocity as it leaves the house's roof? b). How far from the base of the house does the box hit the ground? c). By how much does the box clear the yard fence which is 1.8m tall and located 6.7m away from the base of the house? 1 TOOLS 5m 29° 12 m 1.8m 6.7m FENCE

A ball is kicked with an initial horizontal velocity of 16 m/s and initial vertical velocity of 10 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball goes above the ground? Use g = 10 m/s2.
Julie, mass 36kg, has invented a new ride called the Human Launcher. It is basically a platform that springs people straight up into the air. She is testing it, standing on a bathroom scale on the platform. As the platform springs 10.0m upward from rest, Julie notices the scale reads 600.0N. Once it reaches ground level, the platform suddenly stops, but Julie doesn't, and is launched up into the air. What is the maximum height above the ground that Julie will reach? (the ride was deemed unsafe and cancelled) *= nut 10.0m ground

A ball is suspended from a light 1.2 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 27 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s. PART A. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? PART B: What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)?
6. A crazy, young boy on a sled is able to get up to an incredible speed of 22.5 m/s (yes, he is wearing a helmet!) along a frictionless horizontal surface while he approaches an icy hill with a vertical height of 11 m, as shown. He makes it to the top, and then flies off horizontally from the ledge of the hill. How far from the base of the hill does the boy land? 225 mis Figure 1
A ball is suspended from a light 1.3 m string . The string makes an angle of 24 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?
You are walking around your neighborhood and you see a child on top of a roof of a building kick a soccer ball. The soccer ball is kicked at 50° from the edge of the building with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and lands 20 meters away from the wall of the building. Which equation will allow you to solve for the amount of time the ball is in the air? Hint: look at your givens in the x-direction. Group of answer choices A. vfx2=v0x2+2axΔx B. vfx=v0x+axt C. Δx =v0x t + ½ axt2
