A 2.00-kg object hangs, at rest, on a 1.00-m-long string attached to the ceiling. A 100-g mass is fired with a speed of 20 m/s at the 2.00-kg mass, and the 100.00-g mass collides perfectly elastically with the 2.00-kg mass. Write an equation for the motion of the hanging mass after the collision. Assume air resistance is negligible.
Hanging from the ceiling over a baby bed, well out of baby’s reach, is a string with plastic shapes, as shown here. The string is taut (there is no slack), as shown by the straight segments. Each plastic shape has the same mass m , and they are equally spaced by a distance d , as shown. The angles labeled describe the angle formed by the end of the string and the ceiling at each end. The center length of sting is horizontal. The remaining two segments each form an angle with the horizontal, labeled . Let T1 be the tension in the leftmost section of the string, T2 , be the tension in the section adjacent to it, and T3 be the tension in the horizontal segment. (a) Find an equation for the tension in each section of the string in terms of the variables m,g , and . (b) Find the angle in terms of the angle . (c) If =5.10 , what is the value of ?(d) Find the distance x between the endpoints in terms of d and .
George of the Jungle, will mass m, swings on a light vine hanging from a stationary tree branch. A second vine of equal length hangs from the same point, and a gorilla of larger mass M swings in the opposite direction on it. Both vines are horizontal when the primates start from rest at the same moment. George and the gorilla meet at the lowest point of their swings. Each is afraid that one vine will break, so they grab each other and hang on. They swing upward together, reaching a point where the vines make an angle of 35.0 with the vertical. Find the value of the ratio at m/M.

Physics students design an experiment to measure assorted coefficients of friction using a set-up similar to the one shown (not drawn to scale). A small balloon containing sand with a combined mass of 98.2gg is suspended with an ideal string of length 86.6cmcm, forming a simple pendulum. The pendulum is released from an angle of 41.4∘∘ with the vertical, and it collides with a block of mass 333gg located where the pendulum string becomes vertical. Because the balloon weighted with sand is soft and deformable, the collision is totally inelastic. The block slides for a distance of 30.8mmmm before coming to rest. a) Calculate the speed, in meters per second, of the sand-filled balloon at the instant prior to the collision. b) Calculate the speed, in meters per second, of the block at the instant following the collision. c)
