• 1. A mouse rests on an inclined plane. The mouse
  has a weight of 8.1 N and the inclined plane
  makes a 27 degree angle to the ground.
• Draw a free body diagram of the situation
• Find the x and y components of the force (with
  respect to the slope).

2. A penny, sliding along a frictionless surface
at 3 m/s, flies off the end of a table that is
1.2 m high. Find how far from the table the penny
will land. You must separate and show the x and y
components and draw a diagram of the situation to
receive full credit.

3. A trick biker flies off a ramp with an angle
of 25 degrees to the horizontal with a velocity
of 5.3 m/s. What is the max height the biker will
reach. To receive full credit, you must show the
x and y components and draw a diagram of
situation.

4. Lupe and Erica pull a little girl on a sled.
Lupe pulls with a force of 25 N at an angle of 72
degrees. Erica pulls with a force of 45 N at an
angle of 25 degrees. I) Sketch the
situation. II) Find the resultant force
(magnitude and direction) III) Find the force
that will cause equilibrium (magnitude and
direction).

5. You have a weight of 610 N. A panda (weight
1250N) named Jim is sitting 2 meters from the
fulcrum of a see saw. How far away from the
fulcrum would you have to sit on the see saw for
the two of you to be completely balanced?

6. You are riding on a merry go round (the kind
on a playground). You have a mass of 100 kg. If
you are sitting 1 meter away from the center and
the merry go round is spinning at 5 m/s I) What
is your centripetal acceleration? II) What
magnitude of force is required to keep you going
around? III) What kind of force is holding you
on the merry go round?

7. George of the Jungle is hanging from his
ankles using two vines, which from an angle of 50
degrees to the horizontal. If George has a weight
of 723 N, what is the tension in each of the
vines? 8. Georges pet elephant tries to do the
same thing. If the tension in each of the vines
is 3245 N, how much does the elephant weigh?
