Chapter 2, Problem 2.54P
A potato of mass 0.5 kg moves under Earth’s gravity with an air resistive force of −kmv. (a) Find the terminal velocity if the potato is released from rest and k = 0.01 s−1. (b) Find the maximum height of the potato if it has the same value of k, but it is initially shot directly upward with a student-made potato gun with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.

A block of mass m = 3.5 kg, initially moving at a speed of v_{1} = 12m / s to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface, is acted on by a variable horizontal force F as follows: For the first 10 s, F = 10N to the right; for the next 5 <= F =25* to the left; and for the last 8 <= F = 15N to right. Find the velocity of the block at the end of the 23-s interval.
A 2.0-kg object has a velocity of 4.0i ^ m/s at t = 0. A constant resultant force of (2.0i ^ + 4.0j ^ ) N then acts on the object for 3.0 s. What is the magnitude of the object’s velocity at the end of the 3.0-s interval?
Find the kinetic energy for two masses, m1=(64±3)Kg and m2=(136±4)Kg, traveling together at a velocity v=(5.0±1.5)m/s.
Hint: the equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2mv^2, where m is the total mass (m1+m2).

- You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is k is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass M hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass mm is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block. The spring's maximum compression dd is measured from its initial suspended position. Find an expression for the bullet's speed vB. Express your answer in terms of the variables mmm, M, k, d, and constant g What was the speed of a 15 gg bullet if the block's mass is 2.0 kg and if the spring, with k = 55 N/mN/m, was compressed by 47 ccm?

While air resistance is significant, its effects are nearly canceled because lift is gained from backspin on the ball, and so a reasonable description of the ball’s trajectory is obtained if air resistance is neglected.
