As a hiker in glacier national park, you are looking for a way to keep the bears from getting at your supply of food. you find a campground that is near an outcropping of ice from one of the glaciers. part of the ice outcropping forms a slope of angle phiϕ up to a vertical cliff. you decide that this is an ideal place to hang your food supply, as the cliff is too tall for a bear to reach it. you put all of your food into a burlap sack, tie an unstretchable rope to the sack, and tie another bag full of rocks to the other end of the rope to act as an anchor. the mass of rocks that you put into the anchor bag is equal to the mass of food in the other bag. what will be the acceleration of the food bag when you let go of the anchor bag? assume that the weight of the rope is negligible, and that the ice can be considered frictionless. express the resulting acceleration of the food bag in terms of phiϕ and , the acceleration due to gravity. let the positive direction for this bag be downwards.

During your summer internship for an aerospace company, you are asked to design a small research rocket. the rocket is to be launched from rest from the earth's surface and is to reach a maximum height of 910 m above the earth's surface. the rocket's engines give the rocket an upward acceleration so it moves with acceleration of 16.0 m/s2 during the time t that they fire. after the engines shut off, the rocket is in free fall. ignore air resistance.
