A tractor of mass 5.40 tonne pulls a 1.40-tonne crate up a hill with a slope angle of 12.0° above the horizontal at a constant speed of 11.0 m/s. (1 tonne is 1000 kg).
(a) What acceleration would the tractor have on a level road at that speed? Ignore any frictional losses.
(b) Repeat part (a), but now consider that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the level road is 0.300. Assume that all frictional losses come from the friction between the crate being pulled and the road, and not from the tractor.
You throw a rock of mass 0.750 kg straight up in the air with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. Throughout the flight of the rock assume there’s a constant air resistance force of magnitude 1.25 N acting on it. The trajectory of the rock is vertically up and down, with no horizontal motion.
(a) What is the maximum height reached by the rock?
(b) What is the speed of the rock when it returns to the point of release?
