A 4.04 kg block slides down a smooth, frictionless plane having an inclination of 30◦. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. The acceleration of the plane is 4.9 What is the magnitude of the perpendicular force that the block exerts on the surface of the plane at a distance of 2.37 m down the incline?
Answer in units of N.

Astone is dropped with no initial velocity from the top of a cliff and hits the ground a time of 3.9 s later. what is the height of the cliff, in units of meters? you may assume that air resistance is negligible. give the answer as a positive number question 15 a figure skater is rotating at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute. what is the angular speed, in units of rad/s? 200 o 20.9 12000 o 3.33

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Who was the first scientist to measure speed as distance over time?
