2. modern aircraft carriers use a steam powered catapult system to launch jets from a very short range. these catapults can provide a constant acceleration to bring jets up to speed in only two seconds. if each jet requires a minimum take-off speed of 82.3 m/s, how much acceleration must the catapult supply so the jet can take off?

Assume that a person skiing high in the mountains at an altitude of h = 15100 ft takes in the same volume of air with each breath as she does while walking at sea level. determine the ratio of the mass of oxygen inhaled for each breath at this high altitude compared to that at sea level. assume that the air composition (i.e. % of air that is oxygen) is the same at sea level as it is at 15100 ft.

Choose a realistic problem for which these are the correct freebody diagrams. be sure that the answer that the problem requests is consistent with the diagrams shown. choose a realistic problem for which these are the correct freebody diagrams. be sure that the answer that the problem requests is consistent with the diagrams shown. a 1.0 kg block is placed on top of a 2.0 kg block. a horizontal rope pulls the 2.0 kg block across a frictionless floor with a force of 21.0 n. the coefficient between the two blocks is 0.75. does the 1.0 kg block on top slide?

The great sandini is a 60.0-kg circus performer who is shot from a cannon (actually a spring gun). you don’t find many men of his caliber, so you him design a new gun. this new gun has a very large spring with a very small mass and a force constant of 1100 n/m that he will compress with a force of 4400 n. the inside of the gun barrel is coated with teflon, so the average friction force will be only 40.0 n during the 4.00 m he moves in the barrel. at what speed will he emerge from the end of the barrel, 2.50 m above his initial rest position?
