Chapter 10, Problem 82GP
In an amusement park water slide, people slide down an essentially frictionless tube. The top of the slide is 3.0 m above the bottom where they exit the slide, moving horizontally, 1.2 m above a swimming pool. What horizontal distance do they travel from the exit point before hitting the water? does the mass of the person make any difference?

In the winter sport of bobsledding, athletes push their sled along a horizontal ice surface and then hop on the sled as it starts to careen down the steeply sloped track. In one event, the sled reaches a top speed of 9.2 m/sm/s before starting down the initial part of the track, which is sloped downward at an angle of 5.0 degrees. What is the sled's speed after it has traveled the first 140 m?
A 5-kg block slides off the horizontal surface of a table with initial speed 1.45 m/s and hits the ground a horizontal distance 0.754 m from the table. How high is the table?
A stone is thrown from the top of a 59.4 m high rock. The vertical component of the initial speed of the stone is 19.5 m / s upwards. How long does the stone spend in the air? Suppose the soil at the base of the rock is flat.
