A tennis ball of mass mt is held just above a basketball of mass mb, as shown in Figure P8.22. With their centers vertically aligned, both are released from rest at the same moment so that the bottom of the basketball falls freely through a height h and strikes the floor. Assume an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down because the balls have separated a bit while falling. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. (a) To what height does the tennis ball rebound? (b) How do you account for the height in (a) being larger than h? Does that seem like a violation of conservation of energy? Figure P8.22
A water molecule consists of an oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms bound to it (Fig. P8.36). The angle between the two bonds is 106. If the bonds are 0.100 nm long, where is the center of mass of the molecule? Figure P8.36
Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (Fig. P11.54). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0 south of west at 10.00 m/s. They collide and stick together, as the driver of one car reaches out and grabs hold of the other driver. The two bumper cars move off together after the collision, and friction is negligible between the cars and the ground. a. If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 596 kg and 625 kg respectively, what is the velocity of the bumper cars immediately after the collision? b. What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision? c. Compare your answers to part (b) from this and Problem 54. Is one answer larger than the other? Discuss and explain any differences you find.
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?
A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 40.0 to the horizon at a speed of 50.0 m/s. At the highest point in its flight, the projectile breaks into three parts of mass 1.0 kg, 0.7 kg, and 0.3 kg. The 1.0-kg part falls straight down after breakup with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s, the 0.7-kg part moves in the original forward direction, and the 0.3-kg part goes straight up. Launch a. Find the speeds of the 0.3-kg and 0.7-kg pieces immediately after the break-up. b. How high from the break-up point does the 0.3-kg piece go before coming to rest? c. Where does the 0.7-kg piece land relative to where it was fired from?
Two skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49. Assume the skateboarders undergo a completely elastic head-on collision on the horizontal segment of the half-pipe. Treating the skateboarders as particles and assuming they dont fall off their skateboards, what is the height reached by each skateboarder after the collision? FIGURE P11.49
Two projectiles of mass m1 and m2 , are fired at the same speed but in opposite directions from two launch sites separated by a distance D.

A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 500 g as shown in Figure P9.17. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, to fall through a distance of 1.20 m. (a) Find the magnitude of the downward velocity with which the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P9.17
