While studying projectile motion, we consider ideal scenarios, where the projectile travels along its trajectory only under the influence of gravity. in real-world situations, however, other forces act on the projectile.

consider a cargo plane that is dropping relief packages to flood victims. in predicting and studying this motion, we might consider gravity, but ignore the horizontal and vertical forces associated with drag (or air friction). discuss this simplification. specifically address these questions:
•why do we often ignore drag in projectile predictions?
•what conditions (of the object, its surroundings, and its launch) do you think might make drag a significant factor in the relief package drop?
•how would drag affect the projectile's motion if it really were a significant factor in the relief package drop?

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 127 ft at an angle of 46.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Why does the equilibrium position of the spring change when a mass is added to the spring? will the mass oscillate around the new equilibrium position of the spring or the previous position without a mass attached to the spring? if the equilibrium position of the spring changes by 20 cm (assuming no initial mass) when a mass is added to the spring with constant 4.9 kg/s^2, what is the mass of the object attached to the spring?
