The heaviest watermelon weighed in at 159 kg (350.5 lbs.) and was grown by Chris Kent (USA) of Sevierville, Tennessee. Chris releases the watermelon from rest from the top of a 150.0m tall building by a small crane. We neglect air resistance. If needed, use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of g. What is the time it takes to hit the ground after being released and what will be the final impact velocity when it hits the ground? Report answers to 3 sig figs

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?

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.
