Question

A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute, starting at a height of 1.75 m above the bottom of the chute and with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.279. How far from the bottom of the chute does the toy zebra come to rest? Take g = 9.81 m/s2

Mickey, a daredevil mouse of mass 0.0197 kg, is attempting to become the world\'s first \"mouse cannonball.\" He is loaded into a spring-powered gun pointing up at some angle, and is shot into the air. The gun\'s spring has force constant of 83.7 N/m and is initially compressed a distance of 0.127 m from its relaxed position. If Mickey has a constant horizontal speed of 2.23 m/s while he is flying through the air, how high above his initial location in the gun does Mickey soar? Take g = 9.81 m/s2.
