Sally Ride was the first American woman in space. If she had a mass of about 65-kg, what would be the normal force read if Ride stood on it while in a rocket taking off vertically with an acceleration of 4.25 times higher than gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s2)

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.
