A 4.0-cm-diameter, 55 g ball is shot horizontally into a tank of 40°C honey. How long will it take for the horizontal speed to decrease to 10% of its initial value?

A spherical particle of mass m is shot horizontally with initial speed v₀ into a viscous fluid. Use Stokes' law to find an expression for vₓ (t), the horizontal velocity as a function of time. Vertical motion due to gravity can be ignored.

A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-m-diameter fuselage and a loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is primarily due to the cylindrical fuselage, and aerodynamic shaping gives it a drag coefficient of 0.37. How much thrust must the jet's engines provide to cruise at 230 m/s at an altitude where the air density is 1.0 kg/m³

So-called volcanic 'ash' is actually finely pulverized rock blown high into the atmosphere. A typical ash particle is a 50-μm-diameter piece of silica with a density of 2400 kg/m³. How long would it take this ash particle to fall from a height of 5.0 km in vacuum?

Below what speed does a 3.0-mm-diameter ball bearing in 20°C air experience linear drag?

Above what speed does a 3.0-mm-diameter ball bearing in 20°C water experience quadratic drag?

A ball is shot from a compressed-air gun at twice its terminal speed. What is the ball's initial acceleration, as a multiple of g, if it is shot straight up?

A 10 kg crate is placed on a horizontal conveyor belt. The materials are such that ${\mu }_s$ = 0.5 and ${\mu }_k$ = 0.3. Draw a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the crate if the conveyer belt is speeding up.

A 250 g ball is launched with a speed of 35 m/s at a 30° angle. A strong headwind exerts a constant horizontal drag force on the ball. What is the magnitude of the drag force if the wind reduces the ball's travel distance by 20%?

A 68-kg water skier is being accelerated by a ski boat on a flat ('glassy') lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier's skis and the water surface is μₖ = 0.25 (Fig. 5–59). What is the skier's acceleration if the rope pulling the skier behind the boat applies a horizontal tension force of magnitude F_T = 240N to the skier (θ = 0°)?

A 68-kg water skier is being accelerated by a ski boat on a flat ('glassy') lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier's skis and the water surface is μₖ = 0.25 (Fig. 5–59). What is the skier's horizontal acceleration if the rope pulling the skier exerts a force of F_T = 240N on the skier at an upward angle θ = 12°?

A package of mass m is dropped vertically onto a horizontal conveyor belt whose speed is v = 1.5m/s, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the belt is μ_k = 0.70. For how much time does the package slide on the belt (until it is at rest relative to the belt)?

(II) A package of mass m is dropped vertically onto a horizontal conveyor belt whose speed is v = 1.5m/s, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the package and the belt is μ_k = 0.70. How far does the package move during this time?

A 68-kg water skier is being accelerated by a ski boat on a flat ('glassy') lake. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier's skis and the water surface is μₖ = 0.25 (Fig. 5–59). Explain why the skier's acceleration in part (b) is greater than that in part (a).
