Problem 1- A 70 kg skier starts to slide from H = 25 m above the jumping ramp as shown in the figure and jumps off the ramp at an angle of 0 = 30° . If the ramp is frictionless and the effect of air resistance is neglected, (a) What is the maximum height k that the skier can reach after jumping off the ramp? (b) If the skier had increased his weight by putting on a backpack, woulf the height h be higher, lower or remain the same? Explain. (c) If there was air resistance, would the height h be higher, lower or remain the same? Explain. (d) What would h be if the length of the path above the jump point of the ramp (i.e, the part of the path above the dashed line according to the figure) were d = 50 m and the coefficient of the kinetic friction uz = 0.2 ?

A person on an icy expedition is trying to lower a crate of mass m1 = 5.65 kg crate to the bottom of a steep ravine of height h2 21.8 m using a rope over a simple pulley. The person, who m2 frictionless %| weighs m2 = 60.9 kg, is being careful to lower the crate at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point h = 12.1 meters above the ground, the person slips and the crate immediately accelerates toward the ground, dragging the hapless person across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. h If we assume the ice is perfectly slick (that is, no friction between the person and the ice once he slips and falls down), at what speed 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. speed: m/s At what speed will the person hit the bottom of the ravine? (Assume no air friction.) speed: m/s
4. The goal of a worker is to slide a 20-kg crate up a 2.5 m-long inclined at 25°. The worker was confident that he can do this by giving it an initial speed of 4.5 m/s at the bottom and letting it go. However, the crate slides only 1.7 m up the ramp, stops, and slides back down. Find the magnitude of the friction force acting on the crate and its velocity when it reaches the bottom of the ramp again.
