A car on the Sky Ride at the fair initially is traveling at a constant, horizontal velocity. In the photograph and schematic this motion is to the right. It then starts to slow down, causing the car to tip forward. If the magnitude of the car’s acceleration is 0.577g, what angle does the car’s cable make with the vertical? .

A mountain climber is being lowered using a frayed rope. The mountain climber has a mass of 75kg, and the rope can only support a 650N load without breaking. What minimum acceleration must the climber have so that the rope doesn’t break? Let downward be the positive direction for the y axis.

A stunt is being planned. A stunt person will be on a helicopter that is flying horizontally with a constant velocity of 44 m/s. They are to drop out of the helicopter and land on a truck that is driving in the same direction along a straight, horizontal road. The truck will have a constant speed that is half that of the helicopter. The height above the ground where the stunt person drops from the helicopter will be 15 m. How far ahead of the helicopter must the truck be when the stunt person drops? Ignore the height of the truck and air resistance.
