A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0(m)/(s ) over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 Kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5.40 m and friction is ignored, what is the speed of the fish when it hits the water.
You are part of a searchand- rescue mission that has been called out to look for a lost explorer. You’ve found the missing explorer, but you're separated from him by a 200-mm-high cliff and a 30-mm-wide raging river. To save his life, you need to get a 4.4 kgkg package of emergency supplies across the river. Unfortunately, you can't throw the package hard enough to make it across. Fortunately, you happen to have a 0.90 kgkg rocket intended for launching flares. Improvising quickly, you attach a sharpened stick to the front of the rocket, so that it will impale itself into the package of supplies, then fire the rocket at ground level toward the supplies.

You decide to launch a rockof mass m1 using a tube containing a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is at equilibrium, it fills the entire tube. To launch a rock, you push it into the tube, compressing the spring a distance d, at which point a locking mechanism holds the spring(and the rock) in place. When the lockis released, the spring pushes the rock to the end of the tube where it will be launched into the air. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the inside surface of the tube is given by μk. You setup the launcher at an angle q above the horizontal with the spring end buried such that when the spring is compressed and locked, the rock is at ground level. a)Find the work done on the rock by non-conservative forces as it moves from the point of release to the end of the tube. Express your answer in terms of μk, m1, q, d, and any necessaryconstants. b) Find the velocity of the rockvfas it exits the launch tube in terms of μk, k, m1, q, d, and any…
During a spacewalk, Dmitri finds himself floating 3 m from his space station's airlock. He only has one minute of air left. He has one detachable 10 kg toolkit, which he can toss to propel himself toward safety. How fast will he need to move to reach the airlock before he runs out of air?

In a research facility, a person lies on a horizontal platform which floats on a film of air. When the person's heart beats, it pushes a mass m of blood into the aorta with speed v, and the body and platform move in the opposite direction with speed V. Assume that the blood's speed is 51.0 cm/s. The mass of the person + platform is 54.0 kg. The platform moves 5.20 x 10¬³ m in 0.160 s after one heartbeat. Calculate the mass (in g) of blood that leaves the heart. Assume that the mass of blood is negligible compared with the total mass of the person, and the person + platform is initially at rest. (Also assume that the changes in velocity are instantaneous.)
