4. How does an air bag protect a driver during an accident? It reduces the kinetic energy loss of the driver. O It reduces the momentum change of the driver. It increases the momentum change of the driver. It shortens the stopping time of the driver and increases the force applied during the accident. It lengthens the stopping time of the driver and reduces the force applied during the accident.

A freezer uses 100 kJ of electrical energy to move 330 kJ of thermal energy from inside the freezer to outside. We can determine how much the room temperature increases when 1 kg of ice freezes. a. How much thermal energy must be removed from 1 kg of 0oC water to turn into 0oC ice? (the latent heat of fusion of water is 320 kJ/kg) b. How much electrical energy is used to freeze the ice? c.

2. Granny Shots The last player in the NBA to use an underhand foul shot (a "granny" shot) was Hall of Fame forward Rick Barry, who retired in 1980. Barry believes that current NBA players could increase their free-throw percentage if they were to use an underhand shot. Since underhand shots are released from a lower position, the angle of the shot must be increased. If a player shoots an underhand foul shot, releasing the ball at a 70-degree angle from a position 3.5 feet above the floor, then the path of the ball can be modeled by the function h(x) = -- 136x2 + 2.7x + 3.5, where h is the height of the ball above the floor,x is the forward distance of the ball in front of the foul line, and v is the initial velocity with which the ball is shot in feet per second. (a) The center of the hoop is 10 feet above the floor and 15 feet in front of the foul line. Determine the initial velocity with which the ball must be shot in order for the ball to go through the hoop. (b) Write the function…

2 Your friend is planning to ride his bike up a ramp and land on the roof of a building as shown below. The building is 6.00 m high and 8.00 m away from the ramp. The ramp is 3.00 m wide and 4.00 m tall. 4.00 m 1 ← 3.00 m 6.00 m 8.00 m A. What is the minimum speed with which your friend needs to leave the ramp in order to land on the building? B. Another friend is going to use his motorized scooter for the same stunt. The maximum speed of the scooter is 15.0 m/s. How close to the building should you move the ramp so that your friend lands on the roof right at the front edge of the building?
