Experienced hikers prefer to step over a fallen log in their path rather than stepping on top and stepping down on the other side. Explain.
A320 kgwooden raft floats on a lake. When a 68 kg man stands on the raft, it sinks 3.5 cm deeper into the water. When he steps off, the raft oscillates for a while. (a) What is the frequency of oscillation? (b) What is the total energy of oscillation (ignoring damping)?
A hill has a height h. A child on a sled (total mass m) slide down starting from rest at the top. Does the speed at the bottom depends on the angle of hill if (a) it is icy and there is no friction, and (b) there is friction (deep snow)? Explain your answers.
