1. The drawing shows a skateboarder moving at 5.4 m/s along a horizontal section of a track that is slanted upward by 48° above the horizontal at its end, which is 0.40 m above the ground. When she leaves the track, she follows the characteristic path of projectile motion. Ignoring friction and air resistance,
a. Find the maximum height H to which she rises above the end of the track.
b. How far from the edge does the skateboarder land on the ground?

- 4. At the construction site of a tall building, a worker is in an elevator descending at a constant downwards velocity of 5 m/s. When the elevator is 40 meters above ground level, her friend, standing at ground level, tosses a wrench straight upward with an initial speed of 25 m/s. Take the time when the wrench is tossed as t = 0. For this problem, use g = 10 m/s². a. Draw a labeled picture with symbols and all relevant values. Quantities that are different should be given different symbols, for example y, and Yw. b. Graph the velocities versus time of the elevator and the wrench on the same graph. Label axes of the graph (with units). C. At what time does the wrench and the elevator have the same velocity? 20 10 -10 -20 3 4 time (s) d.

- 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?
