In a common physics demonstration, a bowling ball is suspended from the ceiling by a rope. The professor pulls the ball away from its equilibrium position and holds it adjacent to his nose, as shown below. He releases the ball so that it swings directly away from him. Does he get struck by the ball on its return swing? What is he trying to show in this demonstration?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A 2000-kg railway freight car coasts at 4.4 m/s underneath a grain terminal, which dumps grain directly down into the freight car. If the speed of the loaded freight car must not go below 3.0 m/s, what is the maximum mass of grain that it can accept?
Check Your Understanding There is a second solution to the system of equations solved in this example (because the energy equation is quadratic): v1.f=-2.5m/s , v2.f=0 . This solution is unacceptable on physical grounds; what’s with it?
Under what circumstances is momentum conserved?
Calculate the final speed (in m/s) of a 104 kg rugby player who is initially running at 7.75 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.65 ✕ 104 N for 6.00 ✕ 10−2 s.
Gayle runs at a speed of 4.00 m/s and dives on a sled, initiallyat rest on the top of a frictionless, snow- covered hill. After shehas descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, whois initially at rest, hops on her back, and they continue downthe hill together. What is their speed at the bottom of the hillif the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle’s mass is 50.0 kg,the sled has a mass of 5.00 kg, and her brother has a mass of30.0 kg.
