Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 43PQ
A 44.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.750-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 1.50 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline.
a. Does the act of throwing the ball cause the child to move? If so, what are the speed and the direction of his motion with respect to the Earth?
b. What are the forces acting on the child when he throws the ball?

- A small block of mass m1 = 0.500 kg is released from rest at the top of a frictionless, curve-shaped wedge of mass m2 = 3.00 kg, which sits on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P8.55a.

- A pendulum consists of a wooden bob of mass M suspended by a massless rod of length . A bullet of mass mM is fired horizontally with speed v at the bob and emerges from the bob with speed v/3 as shown in Figure P11.72. If the pendulum bob just barely reaches the highest point such that it is able to swing through one complete circle, find an expression for the speed v of the bullet before the collision.

- A football player of mass 95 kg is running at a speed of 5.0 m/s down the field as shown in Figure P11.53. A second player of mass 140 kg, running at a speed of 2.5 m/s, tackles the first player so that they move together after the collision. What is the velocity of the two players immediately after the collision? FIGURE P11.53 53. The football players have the same final velocity in this inelastic collision. We can use Equations 11.24 and 11.25 to determine the x and y components of the final velocity. The lighter player (95 kg) moves vertically, so v1ix = 0 and v1iy = 5.00 m/s. The other player (140 kg) moves to the right, so v2ix = 2.5 m/s and v2iy = 0. Therefore, m1v1ix+m2v2ix=(m1+m2)vfx(140kg)(2.5m/s)=(95kg+140kg)vfxvfx=1.5m/sm1v1iy+m2v2iy=(m1+m2)vfy Chapter 11 Collisions11.31 (95kg)(5.00m/s)=(95kg+140kg)vfyvfy=2.0m/s The final velocity is then vf=(1.5i+2.0j)m/sarrow_forwardA tennis player receives a shot with the ball (0.060 0 kg) traveling horizontally at 50.0 m/s and returns the shot with the ball traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s in the opposite direction.
