Jason takes off across level water on his jet-powered skis. The combined mass of Jason and his skis is 75 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible). The skis produce a forward thrust of 200 N and have a coefficient of kinetic friction with water of 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 90 s. What is Jason's top sneed?

To raise money for a university scholorship fund, the new IT dean has volunteered to bungee jump from a crane if contributions can be found for 10 scholarshipis. To add some interest, the jump will be made from 42 m above a pool of water. A 30 m bungee cord would be attached to the dean. First you must convince the dean that your plan is safe for a person of his mass, 70 kg. The dean knows that as the bungee cord begins to stretch, it will exert a force which has the same properties a the force exerted by a spring. Your plan has the dean stepping off a platform and being in free fall for 30 m before the cord begins to stretch. a) Determine the spring constant of the bungee cord so that it stretches only 12 m, which will just keep the dean out of the water. (Assume that the dean is a point like object). b) Using the result of a), find the dean's speed 7 m above the water.
Lift on an airplane is F = (P2-P1) A. The total wing area of a certain airplane is 20 square meter. Air, of density 1.2 kg/m3 , is streaming past the upper wing at 50 m/s and the lower wing at 10 m/s. What is the lift on this airplane? %3D of O a 800 N O b. 9,600N Oc 480 N Od. 16,000 N
Recently, the Amazon and Virgin groups launched commercial space flights. These flights do not store fuel on board, instead, they inhale oxygen from the air. If the weight of one of these new rockets is 2420 kN, while a regular rocket is 19579 kN, what would be the acceleration of these two rockets close to the Earth's surface when a thrust of 25467 kN is applied?

A clever coyote uses rocket powered skates to try to catch a roadrunner. The mass of the coyote is 38.1 kg. If the coyote starts from rest, and accelerates to a final speed of 26 m/s in a distance of 2.4 m, how much thrust force did the rockets excert to get him to his final speed? Assume this thrust is constant over the 2.4 m.
Sam, whose mass is 74.0 kg, takes off across level snow on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 220.0 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction wtih the snow of 0.07. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 11.5 seconds. What Sam's top speed (in m/s) assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2? How far (in m) has Sam traveled when he finally coasts to a stop?

Henry is lifting a jug of water with mass 3.82 kg from a floor at the rate of 0.89 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force Henry applies to the jug of water in the unit of N? Use g = 9.81 m/s2 to calculate the weight force. Round your answer to the nearest tenths if necessary.
A 40,000-kg cargo plane on board an aircraft carrier is to deliver relief supplies to a far-flung city devastated by typhoon. After being shipped near the location, the plane is to take off assisted by a steam catapult with a force of 30,000 N that acts like a big slingshot for the plane to be successfully launched. The takeoff deck is only 250 m long and the plane engine generates a maximum thrust of 60,000 N. The plane needs an airspeed of 160 km/hr at the end of the runway to get airborne. Will the plane be able to takeoff or not? Support your answer with computations a. yes b. none of the choices c. no d. either yes or no
A young girl is riding a bicycle that has a total mass (including the kid) of 21.2 kg. The girl is moving at 5.99 m/s on a flat road when suddenly she slams on the brakes and skids to a stop in 8.22 meters. What was the magnitutde of the average force due to friction acting on the bicycle? Remeber, the magnitude of a force is always positive. Assume a constant friction force measured in Newtons and 3 significant digits in your answer.
