The force exerted on the car by the raising mechanism is 7,100 N.

The given parameters:

Displacement of the roller coaster, d = 300 m
Work done in pulling the roller coaster, W = 2.13 x 10⁶J

The force exerted on the car by the raising mechanism is calculated as follows;

$W = Fd\\\\F = \frac{W}{d} \\\\F = \frac{2.13 \times 10^6}{300} \\\\F = 7,100 \ N$

Thus, the force exerted on the car by the raising mechanism is 7,100 N.

The person's horizontal position is given by

$x=v_0\cos40^\circ t$

and the time it takes for him to travel 56.6 m is

$56.6\,\mathrm m=\left(24.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos40^\circ t\implies t=3.08\,\mathrm s$

so your first computed time is the correct one.

The question requires a bit of careful reading, and I think there may be a mistake in the problem. The person's vertical velocity $v_y$ at time $t$ is

$v_y=v_{0y}-gt$

which tells us that he would reach the ground at about $t=3.15\,\mathrm s$ . In this time, he would have traveled

$x=v_{0x}(3.15\,\mathrm s)=57.9\,\mathrm m$

But we're told that he is caught by a net at 56.6 m, which would mean that the net cannot have been placed at the same height from which he was launched. However, it's possible that the moment at which he was launched doesn't refer to the moment the cannon went off, but rather the moment at which the person left the muzzle of the cannon a fraction of a second after the cannon was set off. After this time, the person's initial vertical velocity $v_{0y}$ would have been a bit smaller than $\left(24.0\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin40^\circ$ .

A car of m = 1200. kg collides with a tree while traveling 60.0 mph. The collision occurs over a time period of 0.0500 seconds.

You may know linear momentum is given by P= mass.velocity. Initially car is moving with some velocity so you know initial momentum of the car. Finally it comes to rest i.e final momentum of the car is 0. According to Newton's second law : Force = change in momentum /time. Applying this you'll get answer as 642840N. Hope it helped you. Revert back to me if you have any questions. Please check out the calculation it might be wrong!
