A ball is dropped from a height = [h] m on a frictionless loop-de-loop of radius . What is the largest radius the loop can have so that the ball makes it around without losing contact with the track? Please give your answer in units of m.

A projectile is fired at a speed of = [v] m/s and at an angle

Starting from one oasis, a camel walks 30 km in a direction 40° south of west and then walks 25 km toward the north to a second oasis. What is the direction from the first oasis to the second oasis?

The three blocks shown are released from rest and are observed to move with accelerations that have a magnitude of 1.2 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the friction force on the block that slides horizontally? Disregard any pulley mass or friction in the pulley and let M = 3.0 kg.

When a cart of mass has a force applied to it for a distance , it will attain a velocity of . If instead a force of is applied for a distance to a cart of mass , what velocity will it have?

Shown here is a plot of velocity as a function of time. Over what range of times do we see the greatest positive displacement?

A = 250 m wide river flows with a uniform speed of = 4.0 m/s toward the east. I take off from the south bank in a boat that moves at = 6.0 m/s with respect to the water to arrive at point on the north bank directly north of my launch. What heading did my boat have to make the journey?

A ball is dropped from a height on a frictionless loop-de-loop of radius = [R] m. What must be the speed of the ball at the bottom of the loop so that it makes it around without losing contact with the track? Please give your answer in units of m/s.

In this system, the rope and pulley have negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless. The blocks have masses = [m1] kg and = [m2] kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction between and the surface is
