A skier weighing a mass m starts from rest down a hill inclined at a certain degree theta. He skis down the hill with a distance d and then coasts for a certain distance s along level snow until he stops. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skis and the snow. Construct a free-diagram. Incorrect free-diagram will commensurate to incorrect answer. Solve this problem explicitly (i.e. step by step). *

Some sliding rocks approach the base of a hill with a speed of12 m>s. The hill rises at 36° above the horizontal and has coefficientsof kinetic friction and static friction of 0.45 and 0.65, respectively, withthese rocks. Once a rock reaches its highest point, will it stay there or slide down the hill? If it stays, show why. If it slides, find its acceleration on the way down.

A hot-air balloon is moving vertically upwards at a constant speed. A camers in accidentally dropped from the baloon at a height of 92,4 m as shown in the disgram below. The camera strikes the ground after 6s. Ignore the effocts of friction 92,4 m 3.1 At the instant the camera in dropped, it moves upwards. Give a reason for this observation.

A guy dives from a cliff of height H at an initial speed 0 (for simplicity). During the first phase of his fall, he wraps his arms. During the second phase, he stretches his arms to slow himself down so that his touchdown speed at the water surface is vo. The air drag coefficient during the first phase is k while it is ßk during the second phase. The air drag force is always proportional to the falling speed. At what height the guy should open his arms so that his touchdown speed is vo? Compute the total falling time.
