A ball of mass 0.300 kg is thrown upward, rising 10.0 m above the point at which it was released. Compute the average force exerted on the ball by the hand, if the hand moves through a distance of 20.0 cm as the ball is accelerated.
Calculate the final speed of a 110-kg rugby player who is initially running at 8.00 m/s but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.76×104 N for 5.50×10-2 s .
The coef of friction between the block of mass m1 = 3.0 kg and the surface is 0.400. The system starts from rest. What is the speed of the ball of mass m2 = 5.0 kg when it has fallen a distance of h = 1.50 m.
