2. Pushing a rock: A worker is pushing a spherical rock of radius 0.5 meters and mass 1000 kilograms. She accidentally pushes the rock over the edge of a hill and loses control of it. At the moment she lets go of it the boulder is 1.0 meters from the bottom of the hill, which is at an angle of 5 degrees above the horizontal. When she lets go the center of mass of the boulder is moving at 1.0 m/s. How fast is it moving at the bottom of the hill? 1.0m 5°

Two stars each of one solar mass (= 2×1030 kg) are approaching each other for a head on collision. When they are a distance 109 km, their speeds are negligible. What is the speed with which they collide ? The radius of each star is 104 km. Assume the stars to remain undistorted until they collide. (Use the known value of G)
Journey through the Center of the Earth. A 1024-kg blue ball is dropped from an initial z-position of 4 x 106 m through the center of a planet with a radius of 8.5 x 106 m. If the mass of the planet is 39 x 1015 kg, measure the displacement of the ball at time t = 7 s?
1). A 2500 kg asteroid is traveling through empty space at 340 m/s. The asteroid explodes into two pieces. The 1900 kg piece continues in the same direction at 570 m/s. What is the velocity of the 600 kg piece (both magnitude and direction)? 2.) What is the change in kinetic energy for the system?
2)One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted in newtons by a 0.190 mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10−8 s. (Enter the magnitude.) _____ N
56. Two asteroids collide and stick together. The first asteroid has mass of 15×103kg15×103kg and is initially moving at 770 m/s. The second asteroid has mass of 20×103kg20×103kg and is moving at 1020 m/s. Their initial velocities made an angle of 20° with respect to each other. What is the final speed and direction with respect to the velocity of the first asteroid?
We watch two identical astronomical bodies A and B, each of mass m, fall toward each other from rest because of the gravitational force on each from the other. Their initial center-to-center separation is Ri. Assume that we are in an inertial reference frame that is stationary with respect to the center of mass of this twobody system. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy (Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui) to find the following when the centerto- center separation is 0.5Ri : (a) the total kinetic energy of the system, (b) the kinetic energy of each body, (c) the speed of each body relative to us, and (d) the speed of body B relative to body A. Next assume that we are in a reference frame attached to body A (we ride on the body). Now we see body B fall from rest toward us. From this reference frame, again use Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui to find the following when the center-to-center separation is 0.5Ri : (e) the kinetic energy of body B and (f) the speed of body B relative to body A.

Global warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earth’s temperature can have significant consequences. For example, if the Earth’s polar ice caps were to melt entirely, the resulting additional water in the oceans would flood many coastal areas. Model the polar ice as havingmass 2.30 × 1019 kg and forming two flat disks of radius 6.00 × 105 m. Assume the water spreads into an unbroken thin, spherical shell after it melts. Calculate the resulting change in the duration of one day both in seconds and as a percentage.
Can you help me with this problem? A bat strikes a 0.145 kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 30.0 m/s; when it leaves the bat, the ball is traveling to the left at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal with a speed of 38.0 m/s. The ball and bat are in contact for 1.85 ms. Find the x and y components of the average force on the ball. Suppose that the +x axis is directed to the right, and the +y axis is directed upward.
1) A baseball with a mass of 137 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.05 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.4 m/s (102 mi/h). Determine the average force (in N) exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. 2)A 4.50 gram bullet is fired from a rifle at a horizontal speed of 210 m/s. If the rifle has a weight of 25.0 N and is initially motionless, determine the recoil speed of the rifle.
A toy car of mass 100. g is launched from a track at an unknown angle θ. 1.5 meters away from the ramp, at the maximum height of its jump, it is caught by a net attached to a light (mass-less) rotating rod of length 20.0 cm which causes the car to rotate in circular motion. A force meter attached to the rod reads 5.0 N as it spins. (a) Determine the height h of the net.(b) Determine the initial velocity vi the car was launched at.
Two ice skaters, with masses of 50 kg and 75 kg, are at the center of a 60-m-diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20 s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?
