1) You are assisting a movie stunt person who needs to jump to another building. The roofs of the two
buildings are at the same height and there is a small wall at the edge of the first building (see the figure).
The stunt person jumps with an z-velocity vx = 3.00m/s and starts the jump at a point xQ = 2.00 meters
before the edge of the first building. The distance between the buildings is d = 1.50 meters
wall
a) (6 pts) How much time does it take the stunt person to reach the closest edge of the second building?
b) (7 pts) If the stunt person lands on the closest edge of the roof of the second building, then what was his
initial ^-velocity?

2) Two blocks with masses mi = 3.00 kg and m2 = 8.00 kg are connected by a string and placed on an
\ Cr^tV\lt4^>inclined plane with angle a = 35.0 from the horizontal. A force F is applied on mi at an angle 6 = 21.0
relative to the inclined plane.

3) A block of mass 5.00 kg is placed on top of a 9.00 kg block (see figure). A force directed at an angle of
15.0 above the horizontal and of size 90.0 N is applied to the 9.00 kg block causing it to accelerate, while
the 5.00 kg block is held at rest by a string tied to a wall. The coefficient of kinetic friction between all
surfaces is 0.300, and the coefficient of static friction between all surfaces is 0.400.
