A man is sliding down a pole thru 2.5 meters as shown below. He starts from rest and lands with the speed of 3.1 m/s. Man’s mass is 85 kg.
a) Draw Free Body Diagram of the man sliding down the pole.
b) Find the Friction force exerted on the man by the pole. Use Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion to solve this problem.
c) Determine acceleration of the man sliding down the pole.

Free runners jump long distances and land on the ground or a wall. how do they apply newton’s second law to lessen the force of impact?

Asatellite component is in the shape of a cube with 10cm edges, has an evenly distributed mass of 2 kg and one bolt hole at each of four corners. if the maximum predicted random vibration environment is 10 grms, what bolt size would be a good choice for restraint? what other factors might drive bolt size besides force/stress?

Two identical stars with mass m orbit around their center of mass. each orbit is circular and has radius r, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) how much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?
