A kg wood block is launched up a wooden ramp that is inclined at a angle. The block’s initial speed is m/s.
a. What vertical height does the block reach above its starting point?
b. What speed does it have when it slides back down to its starting point?
The four balls in FIGURE Q6.9 have been thrown straight up. They have the same size, but different masses. Air resistance is negligible. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the magnitude of the net force acting on each ball. Some may be equal. Give your answer in the form and explain your ranking.

An object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force: direction opposite the motion), where is a constant called the drag coefficient. For a sphere of radius the drag constant can be computed as, where is the viscosity of the liquid.
a. Use what you've learned in calculus to prove that
b. Find an algebraic expression for , component of velocity as a function of distance traveled, for a spherical particle of radius and mass that is shot horizontally with initial speed through a liquid of viscosity
c. Water at has viscosity . Suppose a -diameter, marble is shot horizontally into a tank of water at . How far will it travel before stopping?
.
a. Write a realistic problem for which these are the correct equations.
b. Draw the free-body diagram and the pictorial representation for your problem.
c. Finish the solution of the problem.
