Chapter 8.2, Problem 8.3QQ
Three identical balls are thrown from the top of a building, all with the same initial speed. As shown in Figure 8.3, the first is thrown horizontally, the second at some angle above the horizontal, and the third at some angle below the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance, rank the speeds of the balls at the instant each hits the ground.

- Please answer all 3 sub-parts 1. A golfer tees up their ball on top of a 25m tall cliff. The golf ball weighs 45.5 grams. The golfer swings their 200g club at a speed of 42m/s. Assume there is no air resistance. However, this golfer has been known to tell some extraordinary stories. Explain if each situation is possible using conservation of energy. Assume friction/air resistance ARE present. a) They hit a ball in a completely flat field, and the ball followed a parabolic trajectory (like in projectile motion). They measured the ball speed at takeoff to be 91m/s. When the ball landed 145m away, they measured their ball speed on landing to be 94m/s. b) They hit the ball along the ground. When the ball left the club, it was moving at 2m/s. When the ball went in the hole, it was moving at only 0.9m/s. c) The golfer claims that hitting the ball with a club that is four times as massive at the same speed makes the ball go two times faster off the tee.arrow_forwardA shooting star is the trail of a meteor - a chunk of debris hurtling through Earth’s atmosphere. As drag slows down the meteor, its energy is converted into thermal energy. A typical meteor may only weigh 2 grams, and enters the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 100,000 mph. Assuming that all of its energy is converted into thermal energy over a time of just 3 seconds, what is the power output of the shooting star? How does this compare to the power output of a typical household lightbulb?arrow_forwardBased on the figure how will you explain the relationship of gravity and potential energy?arrow_forward
