- You put your astronomy textbook and your No. 2 pencil on a ceramic tile floor, and you blow on each. Which has more inertiathe pencil, the textbook, or neither? Why? Which has more momentum? Why?arrow_forwardGeorge of the Jungle, will mass m, swings on a light vine hanging from a stationary tree branch. A second vine of equal length hangs from the same point, and a gorilla of larger mass M swings in the opposite direction on it. Both vines are horizontal when the primates start from rest at the same moment. George and the gorilla meet at the lowest point of their swings. Each is afraid that one vine will break, so they grab each other and hang on. They swing upward together, reaching a point where the vines make an angle of 35.0 with the vertical. Find the value of the ratio at m/M.arrow_forwardWhen a high diver in a swimming event springs from the diving board and tucks in, a rapid spin results. Why?arrow_forward

- 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).

The bat's center of mass is 50 cm from the left end of the bat. A plummeting ball bounces 80 cm from the left end of the bat. The ball exerts an average force of 29 N on the bat during the bounce.When the ball hits the bat, the person's hand holds the bat and does not move or rotate. Find the average force exerted by the left hand as the ball bounces off the bat.arrow_forward
