A ball having mass m falls from a tower with height h from the ground. The velocity of the ball satisfies the following relationship: m dv/dt = -mg; v(0), If y is the height of the ball from the ground, then y' = v. Neglect the air resistance and show that the time when the ball hits the surface is t= √2h/g

A girl of mass m1=60.0 kilograms springs from a trampoline with an initial upward velocity of vi=8.00 meters per second. At height h=2.00 meters above the trampoline, the girl grabs a box of mass m2=15.0 kilograms. For this problem, use g=9.80 meters per second per second for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. What is the speed vbefore of the girl immediately before she grabs the box? What is the speed vafter of the girl immediately after she grabs the box? What is the maximum height hmax that the girl (with box) reaches? Measure hmax with respect to the top of the trampoline?
A 458-gram ball is traveling horizontally at 10.8 m/s to the left when it is suddenly struck horizontally by a bat, causing it to reverse direction and to travel at 9.7 m/s to the right. If the bat produced an average force of 1,201 N on the ball, for how long was it in contact with the ball?
On Mars, a ball is rolling from a ground to a hill, and we know the height of the hill, Z, is 10 m, and the initial velocity ofthe ball on the ground and the final velocity on the hill are known: V1 = 20 m/s and V2 = 10 m/s, respectively. The mass ofthe ball, m, is 4 kg. The gravitational acceleration on Mars, gMars, is 3.7 m/s2. Please calculate 1) the change in kineticenergy, ΔKE, in J and 2) the change in potential energy, ΔPE, in J, of the ball for the rolling process.
A 0.7 kg rubber ball has a horizontal velocity of 1.107 m/s at point A and goes through a projectile motion until it hits a smooth floor at point B.

A particle of mass 0.75 kg is subject to a force that is always pointed towards the East but whose magnitude changes linearly with time t. The magnitude of the force is given as F = 5t, and has units of newtons. Let the x-axis point towards the East. Determine the change in the velocity Δv, in meters per second, of the particle between t = 0 and t = 1.2 sec. Determine the change in x-coordinate in meters of the particle Δx between t = 0 and t = 1.2 if the initial velocity is 13.4 m/s, and pointed in the same direction as the force.
