Chapter 3, Problem 43RCQ
A ball is released at the left end of three different tracks. The tracks are bent from equal-length of channel iron.
- From fastest to slowest, rank the sppend of the balls at the right ends of the track.
- From the longest to the shortest, rank the track in terms of the times for the balls to reach the end.
- From the greatest to the least, rank the tracks in terms of the average speeds of the balls, or do all the balls have same average speed on all three tracks.

A ball is released at the left end of these different tracks. The tracks are bent from equal-length pieces of channel iron.
a. From fastest to slowest, rank the speed of the ball at the right end of the track.
b. From longest to shortest, rank the tracks in terms of the for the ball to reach the end.
c. From greatest to least, rank the tracks in terms of the average speed of the ball. Or do all balls have the same average speed on all three tracks?
A pitcher claims that he can throw a 0.145 kg baseball with as muchmomentum as a speeding bullet. Assume that a 3.00 g bullet moves at aspeed of 1.5 × 103 m/s.
Maurice is playing some of the arcades at the county fair. At one booth he throws a 1.2-kg ball forward with a velocity of 11 m/s and hits a 0.7-kg can at rest. The ball hits the can, knocks the can back, and the ball continues forward at 6 m/s. What is the new velocity of the can, in m/s
