A 22 g golf ball is placed at the top of a loop de loop track 45 cm above the top of a desk and released from rest. After the ball moves through the track, it rolls off of the table. If the table is 1.75 meters tall, how far does the golf ball travel before hitting the ground? (Friction and air resistance are negligable)
A sledgehammer of mass m = 1.1 kg falls freely vertically downward from a height of h = 2.5 m at an initial speed of v = 11.5 m/s before striking a partially buried piling. After the blow the piling has moved d = 0.065 m deeper. How much kinetic energy, in joules, does the sledgehammer have just before striking the piling? How much force, in newtons, was applied to the piling? Assume all the energy goes towards driving the piling into the ground, and the force of the sledgehammer is constant over the distance d that the piling is driven into the ground. Note that you can ignore the change in potential energy of the piling itself. Further, because d is so small compared to h, you can also ignore the change in potential energy of the hammer as well as it moves distance d.

Just a little something on momentum and kinetic energy. As a reminder, momentum is a vector and: p = mv K = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 pv = p2/2m In terms of the dot product: v2 = v⋅v, p2 = p⋅p, and pv = p⋅v. Unlike speed vs. velocity, but like all other vectors, momentum may refer to the magnitude of the momentum vector. Now, answers the following questions: 1) A 7-kg particle goes 96 m/s. Calculate its momentum in kg*m/s. (This requires an exact answer.) 2) A 7-kg particle's momentum is (392, 61) kg*m/s. Calculate its kinetic energy. 3) A pebble and a grapefruit have the same momentum. Which has the greater kinetic energy?
At a carnival, you can try to ring a bell by striking a target with a 9.10-kg hammer. In response, a 0.410- kg metal piece is sent upward toward the bell, which is 5.05 m above. Suppose that 22.0% of the hammer's kinetic energy is used to do the work of sending the metal piece upward. How fast must the hammer be moving when it strikes the target so that the bell just barely rings?
