A projectile is launched at \( 25 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at an angle of \( 37^{\circ} \). It lands on a platform that is \( 5.0 \) \( \text{m} \) above the launch height.

Two students start \( 100 \) \( \text{m} \) apart.

• Student A walks to the right at \( 2 \) \( \text{m/s} \).

• Student B walks to the left at \( 3 \) \( \text{m/s} \).

At what time do the students meet, and how far has each student walked when they collide?

A \( 1.5 \) \( \text{kg} \) block is pushed to the right with just enough force to get it to move. The block is pushed for five seconds with this constant force, then the force is released and the block slides to a stop. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( 0.300 \) and the coefficient of static friction is \( 0.400 \), calculate the amount of time that passes from when the force is applied to when the block stops.

How large must a heating duct be if air moving \( 3 \ \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \) along it can replenish the air in a room of \( 300 \ \text{m}^3 \) volume every \( 15 \) minutes? Assume the air’s density remains constant.

A projectile is launched at an angle of \( 30^{\circ} \) and hits a vertical wall \( 40 \) \( \text{m} \) away. After bouncing back horizontally, it lands \( 15 \) \( \text{m} \) behind the launch point. How high up on the wall did the projectile strike?

A pulley system consists of two blocks of mass \( 5 \) \( \text{kg} \) and \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \), connected by a rope of negligible mass that passes over a pulley of radius \( 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \) and mass \( 2 \) \( \text{kg} \). The pulley is free to rotate about its axis. The system is released from rest, and the block of mass \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \) starts to move downwards. Assuming that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pulley and the rope is \( 0.2 \), and neglecting air resistance, determine

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to each other, at \( 18 \) \( \text{m/s} \). The third piece has \( 2.5 \) times the mass as the other two.
