A block of mass m1 = 20.0 kg is connected to a block of mass m2 = 30.0 kg by a massless string that passes over a light, frictionless pulley. The 30.0-kg block is connected to a spring that has negligible mass and a force constant of k = 250 N/m as shown in Figure P7.73. The spring is un-stretched when the system is as shown in the figure, and the incline is frictionless. The 20.0-kg block is pulled a distance h = 20.0 cm down the incline of angle = 40.0 (so that the 30.0-kg block is 40.0 cm above the floor) and released from rest. Find the speed of each block when the 30.0-kg block is 20.0 cm above the floor (that is, when the spring is unstretched). Figure P7.73
A 57.0-g tennis ball is traveling straight at a player at 21.0 m/s. The player volleys the ball straight back at 25.0 m/s. If the ball remains in contact with the racket for 0.060 s, what average force acts on the ball? (a) 22.6 N (b) 32.5 N (c) 43.7 N (d) 72.1 N (e) 102 N
A particle is suspended from a post on top of a can by a light string of length L. as shown in Figure P9.57a. The can and particle are initially moving to the right at constant speed the with the string vertical. The can suddenly comes to rest when it runs into and sticks to a bumper as shown in Figure P9.57b. The suspended panicle swings through an angle . (a) Show that the original speed of the cart can be computed from. vi=2gL(1cos) (b) If the bumper is still exerting a horizontal force on the cart when the hanging panicle is at its maximum angle forward from the vertical. at what moment does the bumper stop exerting a horizontal force?
This is a symbolic version of Problem 23. A girl of mass mG is standing on a plank of mass mp. Both are originally at rest on a frozen lake that constitutes a frictionless, flat surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity vGP to the right relative to the plank. (The subscript GP denotes the girl relative to plank.) (a) What is the velocity vPI of the plank relative to the surface of the ice? (b) What is the girls velocity vGI relative to the ice surface?
A space probe, initially at rest, undergoes an internal mechanical malfunction and breaks into three pieces. One piece of mass ml = 48.0 kg travels in the positive x-direction at 12.0 m/s, and a second piece of mass m2 = 62.0 kg travels in the xy-plane at an angle of 105 at 15.0 m/s. The third piece has mass m3 = 112 kg. (a) Sketch a diagram of the situation, labeling the different masses and their velocities, (b) Write the general expression for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions in terms of m1, m2, m3, v1, v2 and v3 and the sines and cosines of the angles, taking to be the unknown angle, (c) Calculate the final x-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (d) Calculate the final y-components of the momenta of m1 and m2. (e) Substitute the known momentum components into the general equations of momentum for the x- and y-directions, along with the known mass m3. (f) Solve the two momentum equations for v3 cos and v3 sin , respectively, and use the identity cos2 + sin2 = 1 to obtain v3. (g) Divide the equation for v3 sin by that for v3 cos to obtain tan , then obtain the angle by taking the inverse tangent of both sides, (h) In general, would three such pieces necessarily have to move in the same plane? Why?

A 160 g baseball is thrown with a speed of 20 m/s. It is hit straight back toward the pitcher at a speed of 40 m/s. The impulsive force of the ball registers at 0.60 milli seconds. What is the average force that the bat exerts on the ball?
Two ice skaters, with masses of 50 kg and 75 kg, are at the center of a 60-m-diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 20 s, how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?
A 764-N man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 6.0 m. He is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of friction between his shoes and the ice. To overcome this difficulty, he throws his 1.2-kg physics textbook horizontally toward the north shore at a speed of 6.0 m/s. How long does it take him to reach the south shore? _____s
Two astronauts who happen to be married to one another are working outside the international space station. They are separated by a distance of 13 m when they get upset with one another and start fighting. Astronaut H(mH =170kg including spacesuit) throws a 3 kg wrench at a velocity of 5 m/s towards his wife, Astronaut W(mW=155 kg including spacesuit). At that very same instant, astronaut W fires her jet pack so that she is traveling towards astronaut H at a constant velocity of 2 m/s. Astronaut W is able to catch the wrench and, with wrench in hand, she continues floating toward astronaut H. How much time elapses between the instant astronaut H throws the wrench and the time astronaut W catches up to him?
