An impala is an African antelope capable of a remarkable vertical leap. In one recorded leap, a 45 kg impala went into a deep crouch, pushed straight up for 0.21 s, and reached a height of 2.5 m above the ground.

To achieve this vertical leap, with what force did the impala push down on the ground?

1. An object of mass 19 kg is placed on incline with friction.The incline is originally horizontal and then raised slowly and at21 degrees, the mass begins to slide down the incline. It is foundthat the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.79 times thecoefficient of static friction. If the same object (same mass) isplaced on the same incline with an inclination angle of 42.2degrees (the mass will slide down the incline at this angle), whatis the magnitude of the acceleration on the mass in m/s2?
2. A mass enters the bottom of a 50 degree incline with acoefficient of kinetic friction of 0.6. At the bottom of theincline the mass is moving at 33 m/s and is moving up the incline.After the mass has traveled, 25 meters up the incline, what is themagnitude of its velocity in m/s?
3. A car is traveling around a circular, banked track withoutfriction. It is initially traveling around the bottom of the ramp(on the ground) where the inner radius of track is 351 meters. Thecar then increases its velocity by a factor of 1.7. If theinclination angle is 10 degrees, what is the height (verticaldistance above the ground) the car is traveling at this newvelocity. Answer in meters.
4. An yo-yo with a mass of 2.4 kg is swung in a vertical circle. Itis found that the string breaks at 228 Newtons. If its the yo-yo'sspeed is a constant and is the maximum speed the yo-yo can movebefore the string breaks, what is the the tension in the string atthe top of the circle in Newtons?
5. A roller coaster cart of mass 15.8 kg travels on the inside of aroller coaster track in a loop of radius 23.1 meters. The circle isa vertical circle similar to the yo-yo example done in class. Ifthe cart travels at a constant speed around the track and the valueof this speed is the minimum speed such that cart does not fall offthe track at the top of the track, was is the magnitude of thenormal force on the cart at the bottom of the track in Newtons?

I would appreciate help with any of the following problems. Thankyou.

22. In an isometric exercise a person places a hand on a scale andpushes vertically downward, keeping the forearm horizontal. This ispossible because the triceps muscle applies an upward forceperpendicular to the arm, as the figure indicates. The forearmweighs 22.1 N and has a center of gravity as indicated. The scaleregisters 113 N. Determine the magnitude of .
Distance between the force applied by the muscle and the elbowjoint 0.025 m. The distance between the elbow joint and the armscenter of gravity is 0.15 m. Distance between the arms center ofgravity and the center of the scale is 0.15 m. I was not able tofind the answer to this problem using the solution posted on thewebsite.

26.A wrecking ball (weight = 4310 N) is supported by a boom, whichmay be assumed to be uniform and has a weight of 2550 N. As thedrawing shows, a support cable runs from the top of the boom to thetractor. The angle between the support cable and the horizontal is32°, and the angle between the boom and the horizontal is 48°. Find(a) the tension in the support cable and (b) the magnitude of theforce exerted on the lower end of the boom by the hinge at pointP.

56. Two identical wheels are moving on horizontal surfaces. Thecenter of mass of each has the same linear speed. However, onewheel is rolling, while the other is sliding on a frictionlesssurface without rolling. Each wheel then encounters an inclineplane. One continues to roll up the incline, while the othercontinues to slide up. Eventually they come to a momentary halt,because the gravitational force slows them down. Each wheel is adisk of mass 3.64 kg. On the horizontal surfaces the center of massof each wheel moves with a linear speed of 5.26 m/s. (a),(b) Whatis the total kinetic energy of each wheel? (c), (d) Determine themaximum height reached by each wheel as it moves up the incline. Iwas able to solve for the rolling wheel but couldn't find the rightanswers for the sliding wheel.

66. A thin uniform rod is rotating at an angular velocity of 1.89rad/s about an axis that is perpendicular to the rod at its center.As the figure indicates, the rod is hinged at two places,one-quarter of the length from each end. Without the aid ofexternal torques, the rod suddenly assumes a "u" shape, with thearms of the "u" parallel to the rotation axis. What is the angularvelocity of the rotating "u"?
