1, An 75,000 kg airplane needs to reach a velocity of 240.0 km/h to take off. (a) On
2000 m runway, what is the minimum acceleration for the plane to take flight? (b) If
the cross section area of the plane is 1000 m?, what is the amount of thrust needed to
maintain the minimum acceleration at the end of the runway? Assume that the drag
‘coefficient is 0.350, the density of air is 1.20 kg/m®, and frictional forces are negligible

4, A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle.
‘The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the hockey puck and the metal
ramp are pl, = 0.40 and 2. = 0.30, respectively. The puck’s initial speed is 3.8 m/s.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the puck. (b) How far along the ramp does the puck
travel before coming back down’?
