Gayle runs at a speed of 3.20 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. after she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. what is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m?

Arock is dropped from a cliff and reaches the ground in 2.70s. at the same time another rock is thrown horizontally from the same height with initial x velocity of 0.95 m/s. what distance will in x will the second rock cover?

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

Afeather of mass 0.001 kg falls from a height of 2 m. under realistic conditions, it experiences air resistance. based on what you know about friction, what can you say about the kinetic energy of the feather as it reaches the ground? acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2. a. ke < 0.0196 j b. ke = 00196 j c. je = 0 j d. ke > 0.0196 j
