A 454.0-kilogram wrecking ball is affixed to the end of an 8.2-m chain, which in turn is attached to the tip of a heavy-duty crane. Starting from an angle of 40.5° from the down-vertical, the ball is projected forward (perpendicular to the chain) with a speed of 8.98 m/s. After traveling on a circular path, when the ball comes to a momentary halt on the other side. Find the angle the string makes with the down-vertical when the ball stops. (a) 135° (b) 75.0° (c) 118° (d) 40.5°

In the figure, a small solid uniform ball is to be shot from a point P so that it rolls smoothly along a horizontal path, up along a ramp, and onto a plateau. Then it leaves the plateau horizontally to land on a game board, at a horizontal distance d from the rigth edge of the plateau. The vertical heights are h1= 5.00cm and h2=1.60cm a) With what speed must the ball leave the plateau for it to land at d=6.00cm b) What fraction of the ball's kinetic energy is rotational while it is on the plateau? c) With what speed must the ball be shot at point P for it to land at d=6.00cm?
In the figure, a 105 g ball on a 58.6 cm rope is swung in a vertical circle about a point 255 cm above the ground. If the ball is swung at the slowest speed where the ball goes over the top of the circle without the rope having any slack and the rope is released when the ball is at the top of the loop, how far to the right does the ball hit the floor?
In the figure here, a small, solid, uniform ball is to be shot from point P so that it rolls smoothly along a horizontal path, up along a ramp, and onto a plateau. Then it leaves the plateau horizontally to land on a game board, at a horizontal distance d from the right edge of the plateau. The vertical heights are h1 = 4.5 cm and h2 = 1.70 cm. With what speed must the ball be shot at point P for it to land at d = 7.5 cm?
Peter propels a penguin with mass 10.0kg from 2.50m above the ground at an angle 30.0o from the horizontal axis (ground), with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s. Assuming the penguin remains rigid (scared, so assume the particle model!) and ignoring any rotational effects, What is the horizontal range of the penguin (where it lands on the ground)? a. 23.6 meters b. 24.1 meters c. 47.1 meters d. 19.9 meters e. 31.5 meters
In the figure, a solid 0.3 kg ball rolls smoothly from rest (starting at height H = 6.4 m) until it leaves the horizontal section at the end of the track, at height h = 1.5 m. How far horizontally from point A does the ball hit the floor? The answer is not 5.42.
A small block with mass 0.0450kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600m on the inside of a circular track. During one of the revolutions of the block, when the block is at the bottom of its path, point A, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.85N. In this same revolution, when the block reaches the top of its path, point B, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block has magnitude 0.660N. How much work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B?
You are exploring a distant planet. When your spaceship is in a circular orbit at a distance of 630 km above the planet's surface, the ship's orbital speed is 5500 m/s. By observing the planet, you determine its radius to be 4.48×106m. You then land on the surface and, at a place where the ground is level, launch a small projectile with initial speed 12.6 m/s at an angle of 30.8∘ above the horizontal. If resistance due to the planet's atmosphere is negligible, what is the horizontal range of the projectile?
A mass of 1.5 kg that is located on frictionless horizontal surface is attached at the end of a string of length 2.52 m and rotate on a circular path with a linear velocity of 7.9 m/s. The tension (N) in the string is:
A pendulum consists of a small object called a bob hanging from a light cord of fixed length, with the top end of the cord fixed, as represented in Figure OQ5.6. The bob moves without friction, swinging equally high on both sides. It moves from its turning point A through point B and reaches its maximum speed at point C. (a) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero radial acceleration and zero tangential acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (b) Of these points, is there a point where the bob has nonzero tangential acceleration and zero radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? (c) Is there a point where the bob has no acceleration? If so, which point? (d) Is there a point where the bob has both nonzero tangential and radial acceleration? If so, which point? What is the direction of its total acceleration at this point? Figure OQ5.6
A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earths surface with an initial speed of 2.00 104 m/s. What will its speed be when it is very far from the Earth?
