A skateboarder with his board can be modeled as a particle of mass 76.0 kg, located at his center of mass (which we will study in Chapter 9). As shown in Figure P8.49, the skateboarder starts from rest in a crouch-ing position at one lip of a half-pipe (point ). The half-pipe is one half of a cylinder of radius 6.80 m with its axis horizontal. On his descent, the skateboarder moves without friction so that his center of mass moves through one quarter of a circle of radius 630 m. (a) Find his speed at the bottom of the half-pipe (point (b) Immediately after passing point he stands up and raises his arms, lifting his center of mass from 0.500 in to 0.950 m above the concrete (point ). Next, the skateboarder glides upward with his center of mass moving in a quarter circle of radius 5.85 m. His body is horizontal when he passes point , the far lip of the half-pipe. As he passes through point , the speed of the skateboarder is 5.14 m/s. How much chemical potential energy in the body of the skateboarder was converted to mechanical energy in the skateboarderEarth system when he stood up at point ? (c) How high above point does he rise? Caution: Do not try this stunt yourself without the required skill and protective equipment. Figure P8.49

How many Earth radii is the center of mass (the “barycenter”) of the Earth-Moon system from the center of the Earth? b. Is the center of mass inside the Earth or outside the Earth? c. What point along the line from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon orbits the barycenter of the Solar System in a (nearly) circular orbit (e.g. the center of the Earth, the barycenter of the Earth-Moon system, the midpoint, the center of the Moon)?
(a) We know that a projectile follows a parabolic path in the absence ofair resistance. If the projectile explodes into multiple fragments in midair, what is thesubsequent path of the center of mass? (b) A shell is fired from level ground, aiming to hit atarget 150 m away. Unfortunately, the shell explodes into two equal-mass pieces in midair.The two pieces land at the same time, and one lands 150 m beyond the target. Where doesthe other piece land? (c) Is your result from part (b) the same if the two pieces land atdifferent times (with one piece still landing 150 m beyond the target)? Don’t just answeryes or no; either prove that the result still holds or offer a specific counterexample.
