    The maximum height a projectile will reach.

    A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of 2.8 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the ground. Assume there is no air resistance and that the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s^2. ??What is the maximum height the projectile will reach???

    Oscillatory motion

    A 10.6 kg object oscillates at the end of a vertical spring that has a spring constant of 2.05 * 10^4 N/m. The effect of air resistance is represented by the damping coefficient b= 3.00 Ns/m. (a) Calculate the frequency of the damped oscillation. (b) By what percentage does the amplitude of the oscillation decrease in each cycl

    Minimum Height of a Stadium Roof

    Write the simplest model for how high the roof of a baseball stadium would have to be, neglecting air resistance and other inconvenient aspect of base ball.

    Movement of a Canoe - Problem Involving Center of Mass

    A 45.0-kg woman stands up in a 60.0-kg canoe of length 5.00 m. She walks from a point 1.00 m from one end to a point 1.00 m from the other end. If you ignore resistance to motion of the canoe in the water, how far does the canoe move during this process?

    Sled traveling down the slope

    A sled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle theta with the horizontal. After the sled is released, it slides a distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 along the horizontal terrain before stopping. Which assumptions are reasonable to make in this problem? There can be more than one answer. A)

    BUNGEE JUMPING,Problem is SEEMS long but it is not

    Kate, a bungee jumper, wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. Kate has a mass m, and the surface of the bridge is a height h above the water. The bungee cord will first straighten and then stretch as Kate falls. Assume that the bungee cord behaves as an ideal spring once it begins to stretch. Neglect th

    Speed eventually becomes effectively constant; give expression

    A raindrop of initial mass Mo starts falling from rest under the influence of gravity. Assume that the drop gain mass from the cloud at a rate proportionnal to the product of its instantaneous mass and its instantaneous velocity: dM/dt = kMV where k is a constant. Show that the speed of the drop eventually becomes effective
