If an airplane is running low on fuel, the pilot may decide to dump unneeded weight. As the airplane gets lighter, the engines need less fuel to generate the same amount of acceleration for flight. The pilot has taken advantage of Newton's ____ law of motion.

A car traveling at 30 m/s runs out of gas while traveling up a 10o slope. How far up the hill will it coast before starting to roll back down? Select the best answer.
A wrench is dropped from the top of a tall tower. It takes 3.07 s to reach the ground. How tall is the tower, in meters? Assume the wrench’s initial velocity is zero, use 9.80 m/s2 as the acceleration due to gravity, and assume air drag does not matter.
School bus drivers are extra careful when they cross railroad tracks. They stop before they cross railroad tracks to be sure that there is no train coming. Yet, trains typically move more slowly through towns than cars do. If trains usually move more slowly than cars, why can they do more damage if they hit something in their path?
Suppose you are playing hockey on a new-age ice surface for which there is no friction between the ice and the hockey puck. You wind up and hit the puck as hard as you can. After the puck loses contact with your stick, the puck will Onot slow down or speed up. start to slow down Ospeed up a little, and then slow down Ospeed up a little, and then move at a constant speed.
46. A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.300 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.900 m above the floor. (a) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor. (b) Calculate his acceleration while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.300 m. (c) Calculate the force he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 110 kg.
0.350 and 0.480. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs weighing 1110 lb to large trucks weighing 7650 lb. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the minimum and maximum braking distance needed to ensure that all vehicles traveling at the posted speed limit can stop before reaching the intersection. minimum braking distance: ft maximum braking distance: ft Given that the goal is to allow all vehicles to come safely to a stop before reaching the intersection, calculate the maximum desired speed limit. maximum speed limit: mph Which factors affect the soundness of your decision? Precipitation from the fog can lower the coefficients of friction. Drivers cannot be expected to obey the posted speed limit. Reaction time of the drivers is not taken into account. Newton's second law does not apply to this situation.

A city is trying to determine the speed limit for a given stretch of road. If a stop sign is visible from 62.0m on a straight, horizontal stretch of road and the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires of a car is 0.525 then what is the maximum speed for a car in meters per second so that it can come to a complete stop at the stop sign?
Dave with a mass of 60 kg goes tubing down a 20 m long hill that has an angle off the horizon of 25º. (Gravity applies) a. He gets a push from the bottom of the hill, so his initial velocity is 2 m/s. How far up the hill will he go before stopping? (there’s no friction) b. He goes back down the hill and then his friend Jill tries to pull him on the tube across a small patch of grass (μk=0.30). If she is pulling parallel to the ground at constant 5 m/s for 5 sec how much power does she expend? c. After climbing back uphill, Dave decided to roll down the hill instead.
