Chapter 8.3, Problem 8.4CE
In Figure 8.11, a person launches a ball off of a building three times.
Case 1. He drops the ball and it lands at the base of the building.
Case 2. He uses a slingshot to launch the ball in a parabolic path. The ball lands on the ground at the same level as the base of the building.
Case 3. He launches the ball. It flies in a parabolic path and lands on the roof of a building at the same height at which the ball was launched.
Compare the change in potential energy of the Earth–ball system for each case. Explain your answer.

Children playing in a playground on the flat roof of a city school lose their ball to the parking lot below. One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in
the figure below. The playground is 6.10 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 7.30 m high, forming a 1.20 m high railing around the
playground. The ball is launched at an angle of 0 = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point
vertically above the wall. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

A horizontal rifle is fired at a bull's-eye. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 650 m/s. The gun is pointed directly at the center of the bull's-
eye, but the bullet strikes the target 0.029 m below the center. What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the

The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game.

Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s?
