A 900 kg car is sliding down a hillside after the handbrake is disengaged. The hill has a height of 20 m and a 200kg box is placed at the bottom. At what velocity will the car hit the box? What velocity will the box and car have if the collision is perfectly elastic? At what rate is the box moving away from the car, as observed by the driver? Answers: 19 81m. 12 61m. 32 42m. 19 81m

PROBLEM 2 A driver is driving at an initial speed of 40 kph. At the back of his truck is a mounted container that is filled with 1.8 m of water. The container is 6 m long, 2 m wide, and 2 m high. The water container is covered with a rubber tarpaulin. After 20 minutes of driving at constant speed, three things happen: (1) The rope of the tarpaulin at the rear end of his truck unravels, causing the back portion of the water surface to be exposed to the atmosphere. He is unaware of this. (2) He sees a van ahead on the road. Ever so inspired by Fast and Furious, he overtakes the van, and at 4 seconds, increases his speed to 72 kph. (3) Upon doing so, the water in his tank partially spills. Poor guy, he is oblivious to the mess, but let's leave it to him to solve that. As for you, dear reader, find the volume of the water spilled, in liters.

A ball is thrown with an initial velocity of 100 ft/s upward at 60° with the horizontal. When the range is 5Oft from its original position, compute the normal acceleration of the ball and its radius of curvature.
Ball 1 is launched with an initial vertical velocity v₁ = 179 ft/sec. Ball 2 is launched 3.4 seconds later with an initial vertical velocity v₂. Determine v₂ if the balls are to collide at an altitude of 317 ft. At the instant of collision, is ball 1 ascending or descending? 11, 12 Answer: V₂ = ft/sec
