- A regulation volleyball court is 18.0 m long and a regulation volleyball net is 2.43 m high. Alyssa Valdez has to make a serve so she strikes the ball a height h = 1.73 m directly above the back line, and the ball's initial velocity makes an angle 50 degrees with respect to the ground. Will she be able to make one good serve? Prove your answer quantitatively.
- An object is whirled at the end of a string in a horizontal circle. If the period of one revolution is 1.18 s, and the length of the sting is 0.93 m, find the centripetal acceleration of the object.
