A 14 kg projectile is launched at 380 m/s at a 55 ∘ angle to the horizontal. At the peak of its trajectory it collides with a second projectile moving horizontally, in the opposite direction, at 140 m/s . The two stick together and land 9.8 km horizontally downrange from the first projectile's launch point.
Find the mass of the second projectile.

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must get a box of supplies, with mass 2.20 kg , up an incline of constant slope angle 30.0 ∘ so that it reaches a stranded skier who is a vertical distance 3.50 m above the bottom of the incline. There is some friction present; the kinetic coefficient of friction is 6.00×10−2. Since you can't walk up the incline, you give the box a push that gives it an initial velocity; then the box slides up the incline, slowing down under the forces of friction and gravity. Take acceleration due to gravity to be 9.81 m/s2.
Part A. Use the work-energy theorem to calculate the minimum speed v that you must give the box at the bottom of the incline so that it will reach the skier.
