4) A daredevil on a motorcycle leaves the end of a ramp with a speed of 31.5 m/s as in the figure below. If his speed is 29.5 m/s when he reaches the peak of the path, what is the maximum height that he reaches? Ignore friction and air resistance.
1a) lost in mechanical energy = -0.5*m*u^2 = -0.5*67*3.7*3.7 =
-458.615 J
b) work done by friction = 458.615
mu_k*m*g*S = 458.615
S= 458.615/(0.7*67*9.81) = 0.996 m = 1m
2) A) KEmax = 0.5*m*v^2 = 0.5*53*31*31 = 25466.5 J
b) if KE = KEmax/2 =25466.5/2 = 0.5*m*u^2 = 0.5*53*u^2
u = 21.9 m/s = 22 m/s
3) f*S = 0.5*m*v^2 = 0.5(7.8*10^-3)*500*500 = 975 J
frictional force is f = 975/S = 975/0.051 = 19117.64 N
4) Horizontal component of original velocity = 31.5 cosø
where ø is the angle of takeoff.
31.5 cosø = 29.5
ø = 20.52˚
Vertical component of velocity = 31.5 * sin (20.52) = 11.0 m/s
Height reached = V^2 / 2 . g = 11^2 / (2 * 9.8) = 6.13 m

I need a step by step on 1 and 2 so I can teach myself. 1. A solid, uniform sphere with a mass of 2.0 kg is rolling from rest down an incline plane from the top of the plane. The incline plane makes an angle of 20° with the horizontal and has a height of 2.0 m. At the bottom of the incline plane, the surface levels out to a frictionless horizontal surface. A spring with a spring constant...
A 20 kg crate is allowed to slide down a 60-m long smooth inclined plane which is 30° with the horizontal. At the bottom of the inclined plane, the crate is allowed to slide horizontally with the ground where the coefficient of friction between the crate and the ground is 0.15. After 1 m, the crate would meet a coil with a spring constant of 1000 N/m. (Assume that the friction no longer acts as the crate hits the spring).Calculate...
