Chapter 9, Problem 29P
A 71 kg baseball player jumps straight up to catch a hard-hit ball. If the 140 g ball is moving horizontally at 28 m/s, and the catch is made when the ballplayer is at the highest point of his leap, what is his speed immediately after stopping the ball?

A 1500 kg car traveling at 12 m/s suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll. What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the other side of the valley?
A 120-g toy car is propelled by a compressed spring that starts it moving. The car follows the curved track in the figure.
What is the final speed in m/s and it coasts up to the frictionless slope, gaining 0.085 meters in altitude.
An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target.
If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall?
Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s:
V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)

As the drag force slows the meteor down, its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy, leaving a glowing trail across the sky.

In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other.
