The drawing shows a person who, starting from rest at the top of a cliff, swings down at the end of a rope, releases it, and falls into the water below. There are two paths by which the person can enter the water. Suppose he enters the water at a speed of 13.8 m/s via path 1.

Consult Conceptual Example 9 in preparation for this problem. The drawing shows a person who, starting from rest at the top of a cliff, swings down at the end of a rope, releases it, and falls into the water below. There are two paths by which the person can enter the water. Suppose he enters the water at a speed of 18.5 m/s via path 1. How fast is he moving on path 2 when he releases the rope at a height of 2.68 m above the water? Ignore the effects of air resistance. Path 2 and put Path 1
You are watching a National Geographic Special on television. One segment of the program is about archerfish which inhabit streams in southeast Asia. This fish actually spits drops of water at insects to knock them into the water so it can eat them. The commentator states that the archerfish keeps its mouth at the surface of the pond and squirts a jet of water from its mouth at a speed of 4 m/s. You watch an archerfish shoot a juicy mosquito off a leaf and into the stream. You estimate that the leaf was about 3/4 of a meter above the stream. You wonder at what minimum angle from the horizontal must the fish shoot a water droplet in order to hit the mosquito. Since you have time during the commercial break, you quickly calculate this angle using conservation of energy.
Two pumpkins are thrown from the top of the Physical Sciences building as a part of a physics demonstration. Both pumpkins are thrown with the same initial speed. Pumpkin 1 is thrown straight up, while Pumpkin 2 is thrown straight out (horizontally). Neglecting air resistance, compare the speeds of the two pumpkins just before they splat on the sidewalk. a) Both pumpkins have the same speed b) Pumpkin 1 has the higher speed c) Pumpkin 2 has the higher speed d) There is not enough information to tell
Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 4.42 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were twice as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.
Sam, whose mass is 77 kg , takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 150 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction on snow of 0.1. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 9.0 s . What is Sam's top speed? How far has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?
A horizontal water jet of constant velocity V from a stationary nozzle impinges normally on a vertical flat plate that rides on a nearly frictionless track. As the water jet hits the plate, it begins to move due to the water force. What is the highest velocity the plate can attain? Explain.
About 70 g of blood is pumped from a person's heart into the aorta during each heartbeat. The blood starts at rest with respect to the body and has a speed of about 1.2 m/s in the aorta. If the pumping takes 0.15 s, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the heart on the blood?
The boat is moving at 10 m/s when its engine is shutdown. Due to hydrodynamic drag, its subsequent acceleration is a = -0.05v^2 m/s^2 where v is the velocity of the boat in m/s. What is the boat’s velocity 4 s after the engine is shut down?
Starting from rest at the top, a child slides down the water slide at a swimming pool and enters the water at a final speed of 10.0 m/s. At what final speed would the child enter the water if the water slide were four times as high? Ignore friction and resistance from the air and the water lubricating the slide.
Keep the track tilted at 14° with the horizontal. Put the friction block on the track surface at the top of the track. Let the friction block slide downwards. The length of the track is 65 cm. Starting from zero speed at the top of the track, what will be the speed of the friction block as it reaches the bottom? Write your answer in m/s. Use u = 0.12 and mass of the friction block = 400 grams.

6. Your friend (mass 65.0 kg) is standing on the ice in the middle of a frozen pond. There is very little friction between her feet and the ice, so she is unable to walk. Fortunately, a light rope is tied around her waist and you stand on the bank holding the other end. You pull the rope for 3.00 s and accelerate your friend from rest to a speed of 6.00 m/s while you remain at rest. What is the average power supplied by the force you applied?
