A toy car of mass 100. g is launched from a track at an unknown angle θ. 1.5 meters away from the ramp, at the maximum height of its jump, it is caught by a net attached to a light (mass-less) rotating rod of length 20.0 cm which causes the car to rotate in circular motion. A force meter attached to the rod reads 5.0 N as it spins. (a) Determine the height h of the net. (b) Determine the initial velocity vi the car was launched at.

Hungarian Adrian Annus won the gold medal for thehammer throw at the 2004 Olympics in Athens with a winningdistance of 83.19 meters.* The event consists of swinging a16-pound weight attached to a wire 190 centimeters long ina circle and then releasing it. Assuming his release is at a 45°angle to the ground, the hammer will travel a distance ofv02/gmeters, where g = 9.8 meters/second2and v0 is the linearspeed of the hammer when released. At what rate (rpm) washe swinging the hammer upon release?

A package of mass 7 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 4.0 1020 kg and radius 5.9 105 m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 188 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.1 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring?
