A block with a mass m is moving on a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of V 10 m/s. The block of mass m starts climbing the hill, which has a mass of M 4m, an initial velocity of 0. But the block cannot reach the top of the hill. What is the speed of the hill when the block reaches its maximum height? (The surface of the hill-shaped barrier is also frictionless.) (Take g= 10 m/s².) 5m/s O 3m/s O1m/s O4m/s O2m/s

A skater is using very low-friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee to her, on the straight line along which she is coasting. Describe each of the following events as an elastic, an inelastic, or a perfectly inelastic collision between the skater and the Frisbee. (a) She catches the Frisbee and holds it. (b) She tries to catch the Frisbee, but it bounces off her hands and falls to the ground in front of her. (c) She catches the Frisbee and immediately throws it back with the same speed (relative to the ground) to her friend.
A superball of mass M and a marble of mass m are dropped from a height h with the marble just on top of the superball. A superball has a coefficient of restitution of nearly 1 (i.e., its collision is essentially elastic). Ignore the sizes of the superball and marble. The superball collides with the floor, rebounds, and smacks the marble, which moves back up. How high does the marble go if all the motion is vertical? How high does the superball go?
A baseball is thrown vertically upward. The mass of the baseball is m, and its initial speed is vi. a. What is the momentum of the baseball at its maximum height? b. What is the momentum of the baseball when it has traveled three-fourths of the total distance in its up-and-down motion?
Calculate the final speed of a 110-kg rugby player who is initially running at 8.00 m/s butt collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of l.76104N for 5.50102s .
A 35-kg child rides a relatively massless sled down a hill and then coasts along the flat section at the bottom, where a second 35-kg child jumps on the sled as it passes by her. If the speed of the sled is 3.5 m/s before the second child jumps on, what is its speed after she jumps on?
A glider of mass m is free to slide along a horizontal air track. It is pushed against a launcher at one end of the track. Model the launcher as a light spring of force constant k compressed by a distance x. The glider is released from rest. (a) Show that the glider attains a speed of v = x(k/m)1/2. (b) Show that the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the glider is given by the expression I = x(km)1/2. (c) Is more work done on a cart with a large or a small mass?
A skater of mass 40 kg is carrying a box of mass 5 kg. The skater has a speed of 5 m/s with respect to the floor and is gliding without any friction on a smooth surface. a. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor. b. Find the momentum of the box with respect to the floor after she puts the box down on the frictionless skating surface.
Water from a fire hose is directed horizontally against a wall at a rate of 50.0 kg/s and a speed of 42.0 m/s. Calculate the force exerted on the wall, assuming the water’s horizontal momentum is reduced to zero.
Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light, frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P8.7. The object of mass m1 = 5.00 kg is released from rest at a height h = 9.00 m above the table. Using the isolated sys-tem model, (a) determine the speed of the object of mass m2 = 3.00 kg just as the 5.00-kg object hits the table and (b) find the maxi-mum height above the table to which the 3.00-kg object rises.
Professional Application Football coaches advise players to block, hit, and tackle with their feet on the ground rather than by leaping through the air. Using the concepts of momentum, work, and energy, explain how a football player can be more effective with his feet on the Ground.
A pitcher claims he can throw a 0.145-kg baseball with as much momentum as a 3.00-kg bullet moving with a speed of 1.50 103 m/s (a) What must the baseballs speed be if the pitchers claim is valid? (b) Which has greater kinetic energy, the ball or the bullet?
A 1200-kg car traveling initially with a speed of 25.0 m/s in an easterly direction crashes into the rear end of a 9 000-kg truck moving in the same direction at 20.0 m/s (Fig. P6.44). The velocity of the car right after the collision is 18.0 m/s to the east, (a) What is the velocity of the truck right after the collision? (b) How much mechanical energy is lost in the collision? Account for this loss in energy. Figure P6.44
