A bullet has a mass of .01k kg and is fired from a gun with an unknown speed of v. The bullet strikes a stationary block that has a mass of 2.5 kg. The bullet + block swing in an arc to a height of .65 meters above the initial position. Find the initial velocity of the bullet.
Jordan is riding a bike on a boat. (Why? No idea.) The boat is on a lake with stationary water. Jordan has a mass of 79 kg. The boat has a mass of 123 kg. Jordan's bicycle has a mass of 10.5 kg. Jordan pedals from one end of the boat to the other, which is a distance of 11.7 meters relative to the boat. Assuming the boat is free to move with negligible friction on the surface of the water, how far (in meters) does the boat move relative to the water (or relative to a stationary object on the shore)? (This is asking for a distance, not a change in position, so the answer is a positive number.)
An x-y plane is defined by a football playing surface. An Army running back with a mass of 86.4 kg runs with a velocity of 8.90 m/s orientated at 15.00 counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. A Navy linebacker with a mass of 106 kg moves with a velocity of =(-2.401 +7.32)) m/s. The two football players collide and stick together. Assume the system comprised of the two football players is closed and isolated. a. Write down the conservation laws and physics equations that apply for this problem: b. Calculate the velocity of the players immediately after the collision. Report your answer in unit-vector notation.
A 0.050 kg whiffle ball is thrown horizontally toward a batter at 12.3 m/s. The batter swings the bat and hits the ball, applying an average force of 15.714 N to the ball, causing the ball to head back in the opposite direction (away from the batter) at 9.70 m/s. (assuming that away from the batter is the positive x-direction, determine the time that the bat and ball were in contact. Report your answer in hundredths of a second, but only enter the numerical value.)

A baseball arrives at home plate at a speed of 43.3 m/s. The batter hits the ball along the same straight line directly back at the pitcher at 68.4 m/s (think about the directions). The baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg and the bas is in contact with the ball for 6.28x10^-4 s. What is the magnitude of the average force on the ball from the bat?
A movie stuntman (mass kg) stands on a window ledge 5.0 m above the floor (Figure 1). Grabbing a rope attached to a chandelier, he swings down to grapple with the movie's villain (mass 70.0 kg), who is standing directly under the chandelier. (Assume that the stuntman's center of mass moves downward 5.0 m. He releases the rope just as he reaches the villain.) With what speed do the entwined foes start to slide across the floor? If the coefficient of kinetic friction of their bodies with the floor is k = 0.230, how far do they slide?
