Biography

My name is Bailey Latka and I am a sophomore at Colorado State University majoring in Chemical and Biological Engineering with a minor in Spanish. I currently work as a physics tutor at the Institute of Learning and Teaching at Colorado State University, recently promoted to the Lead Physics Tutor. I also participate in research at the Flint Animal Cancer Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. I enjoy school but also love to enjoy time outdoors with my friends.

In a pole-sliding game among friends, a $90-\mathrm{kg}$ man makes a total vertical drop of $7.0 \mathrm{~m}$ while gripping the pole which exerts and upward force (call it $F_{\mathrm{p}}$ ) on him. Starting from rest and sliding with a constant acceleration, his slide takes 2.5 s. (a) Draw the man's free body diagram being sure to label all the forces.
(b) What is the magnitude of the upward force exerted on the man by the pole? (c) A friend whose mass is only $75 \mathrm{~kg}$, slides down the same distance, but the pole force is only $80 \%$ of the force on his buddy. How long did the second person's slide take?

During a daring rescue, a helicopter rescue squad initially accelerates a little girl (mass $25.0 \mathrm{~kg}$ ) vertically off the roof of a burning building. They do this by dropping a rope down to her, which she holds on to as they pull her up. Neglect the mass of the rope.
(a) What force causes the girl to accelerate vertically upward: (1) her weight; (2) the pull of the helicopter on the rope; (3) the pull of the girl on the rope; or (4) the pull of the rope on the girl? (b) Determine the pull of the rope (the tension) if she initially accelerates upward at $0.750 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

The Atwood machine consists of two masses suspended from a fixed pulley, as shown in $v$ Fig. $4.42 .$ It is named after the British scientist George Atwood $(1746-1807),$ who used it to study motion and to measure the value of $g$. If $m_{1}=0.55 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $m_{2}=0.80 \mathrm{~kg}$,
(a) what is the acceleration of the system, and
(b) what is the magnitude of the tension in the string?

A 1500 -kg automobile travels at $90 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}$ along a straight concrete highway. Faced with an emergency situation, the driver jams on the brakes, and the car skids to a stop. What is the car's stopping distance for
(a) dry pavement and (b) wet pavement?
