Together with a friend, you are carrying a ladder that weighs 130 N. You have cleverly convinced your friend to hold the ladder 0.1 m from the center of gravity, while you yourself are 1.5 m from the center of gravity. How much of the weight of the ladder are you yourself supporting?

Mike walks 100 meter north, then walks 30 meters south. after this, he walks another 10 meters north. what is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk,in meters?

An object moves from the position +34m to the position -15m in 15 seconds. what is it's total displacement? what is it's average velocity?

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
