1. A child's toy uses a spring to launch a 135 g-ball vertically upwards with a time-varying force which starts at t=0 s and lasts 0.25 s. The force is given by F(t)=10N (1-t/0.25s) and is directed straight up. Air drag can be ignored in this problem. A. What is the velocity of the ball after the 0.25 s passes and the ball leaves the launcher? Hint: you need to take gravity into consideration for this problem. B. After the ball leaves the launcher, how high does it get in the air?

1. You are conducting an experiment to find the kinetic coefficienct of friction between a 5kg box and a ramp. The ramp has an angle of 25° above the horizontal. You start the box from rest. release it. and let it slide down the ramp. a) If the box starts at a height of 1 meter above the ground. what is the theo- retical value of its velocity at the bottom of the ramp? b) When you do the experiment, you find that the experimental value of the final velocity is 3.5 m/s. How much mechaical energy was “lost”? c) Assume that all of the mechanical energy 'lost' in part b) was due to Friction. Draw a free-body diagram. and determine the magnitude of the Normal Force acting on the box. d) Using the Normal force, determine the co-efficient of friction between the box and the ramp, if the system lost the amount of energy you caculated in part b). Hint: Use the work done by friction.

1. You are tasked with designing the runway on an aircraft carrier. The minimum speed for the F/A18 Hornet is 200 mph. The Hornet weighs 40,000 lbf and its twin engines provide a thrust of ~40,000 lbf combined, providing a max acceleration of 1g.a. How long must the deck be to takeoff unassisted? Give the answer in ft. b. This is most likely longer than your typical ~450 ft carrier. What acceleration must you achieve with both the engines and with a catapult system together to reach the required minimum speed by the end of the deck? c. What net force (combined engines and catapult) must be applied to the plane to get the acceleration in b? d.
