1.b.In Example 2.12, two circus performers rehearse a trick in which a ball and a dart collide. Horatio stands on a platform 7.8 m above the ground and drops a ball straight down. At the same moment, Amelia uses a spring-loaded device on the ground to launch a dart straight up toward the ball. The dart is launched at 16.0 m/s. Find the time and height of the collision by simultaneously solving the equations for the ball and the dart. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
How much fuel does a 3000 t rocket use in the first second after takeoff, if is its acceleration equals to 2g? The speed of the exhaust gases is equal to 900 m / s.
When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce, on the theory that the ball arrives at its target sooner that way. Suppose that, after the bounce, the ball rebounds at the same angle that it had when it was released (as in Fig. P3.48), but loses half its speed, (a) Assuming that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle should the ball be thrown in order to go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upward at 45.0 with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the times for the one-bounce and no-bounce throws. Figure P3.48
The acceleration of a rocket is a = -bV, where V is the speed of exhaust gases coming out of the thruster. What are the SI units of b?
How would you find the velocity (and direction) of the cue ball after the collision? (answers are 2.58m/s at 45.1° South of East but I'm not sure on how to get those answers)
A physicist is studying the position of a baseball being thrown up in the air. He notices that the baseball goes up in the air and then comes back down. Which equation could model how high the baseball is off the ground over time?
When baseball outfielders throw the ball, they usually allow it to take one bounce, on the theory that the ball arrives at its target sooner that way. Suppose that, after the bounce, the ball rebounds at the same angle θ that it had when it was released (as in Fig. P3.64), but loses half its speed. (a) Assuming that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed, at what angle θ should the ball be thrown in order to go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upward at 45.0° with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the times for the one-bounce and no-bounce throws.

Anna Shcherbakova is a 2022 Beijing Olympics figure skating gold medalist for ladies’ singles.After warming up she starts her practice by skating towards the middle of the ice rink, 14 metersfrom the entrance. However, this time, one of her friends decided to trick her by pushing hertowards the middle at a velocity of 1.2 m/s (disregard friction between the ice and her skates).Recovering from the shock 2 seconds after, she starts pushing herself forward at an accelerationof 0.5 m/s2. What velocity will she have when she reaches the middle of the rink?
A demonstration of reaction time is to hold one end of a dollar bill so that it hangs lengthwise below your fingers, then ask a friend to hold his fingers near the lower corner of the bill. When you release the bill, he is to try to catch it. If a typical reaction time in this case is 0.25 s, how long would a bill need to be for a person to have a good chance of catching it?
A tennis ball with a speed of 13m/s is moving perpendicular to a wall. After striking the wall,the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with the speed of 7.839m/s. If the ball is in contact with the wall foe 0.0113s,what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall? Take toward the wall to be the positive direction. Answer in units of m/s*2
