To understand how the conservation of energy and Newton's second law can be combined to solve kinetic problems. As shown, a large globe has a radius R
and a frictionless surface. A small block with mass m starts sliding from rest at the top of the globe and slides along the globe’s surface. The block leaves the globe’s surface when it reaches a height hl above the ground. The system’s geometry is shown for an arbitrary height h. (Figure 1) Note that the subscripts used in this problem is the letter l
and not the number 1.

- For a technology project, a student has built a vehicle, of total mass 6.00 kg, that moves itself. As shown, it runs on four light wheels. A reel is attached to one of the axles, and a cord originally wound on the reel goes up over a pulley attached to the vehicle to support an elevated load. After the vehicle is released from rest, the load descends very slowly, unwinding the cord to turn the axle and make the vehicle move forward (to the left as shown). Friction is negligible in the pulley and axle bearings. The wheels do not slip on the floor. The reel has been constructed with a conical shape so that the load descends at a constant low speed while the vehicle moves horizontally across the floor with constant acceleration, reaching a final velocity of 3.00î m/s. (a) Does the floor impart impulse to the vehicle? If so, how much? (b) Does the floor do work on the vehicle? If so, how much?
