A dynamite blast at a quarry launches a rock straight upward, and 1.7 s later it is rising at a rate of 17 m/s. Assuming air resistance has no effect on the rock, calculate its speed (a) at launch and (b) 4.9 s after launch.

Which of these metals are magnetic?

An owl dives toward the ground with a constant velocity of 4.40 m/s at 53.0° below the horizontal. the sun is directly overhead and casts a shadow of the owl directly below it. what is the speed (in m/s) of its shadow on level ground?

Asled is being held at rest on a slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. after the sled is released, it slidesa distance d1 down the slope and then covers the distance d2 alongthe horizontal terrain before stopping. find the coefficient ofkinetic friction μk between the sled and the ground, assumingthat it is constant throughout the trip. find the coefficient of kinetic frictionμk. express your answer in terms of someor all of the variables d1, d2, and θ.
