Trained dolphins are capable of a vertical leap of 7.0 m straight up from the surface of the water-an impressive feat.Suppose you could train a dolphin to launch itself out of the water at this same speed but at an angle.

What maximum horizontal range could the dolphin achieve?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A force of constant magnitude pushes a box up a vertical surface, as shown in the figure. The box moves at a constant speed. If the mass of the box is 4.0 kg, and it is pushed 2.2 m vertically upward, the coefficient of friction is 0.35, and the angle θ is 37°. What is the work done by the force, F? Use g = 10 m/s2.

Starting from rest, a truck travels in a straight line for 7.0 s with a uniform acceleration of +1.6 m/s2. The driver then applies the brakes for 3.0 s, causing a uniform acceleration of −2.0 m/s2 over that time. (a) What is the truck's speed at the end of the braking period? (b) What is the total distance traveled by the truck (from the point where it started at rest to the end of the braking period)

A ball of unknown mass m is tossed straight up with initial speed v. At the moment it is released, the ball is a height h above a spring-mounted platform, as shown in the figure below. The ball rises, peaks, and falls back toward the platform, ultimately compressing the spring a maximum distance d from its relaxed position. Assume that the spring is perfectly ideal with spring constant k, and that the mass of the spring and platform is negligible....
