An astronaut lands on a newly-discovered planet (without an atmosphere). As an experiment, she throws vertically upwards a pure vanadium sphere of radius 2.0 cm and density 5.5 × 10³ kg m-3 with an initial speed of 3.0 m s-¹. The point of release is 1.2 m above the ground. She observes the sphere to travel 4.8 m before it starts falling to the ground. Calculate the kinetic energy of the projectile just as it hits the ground. Kinetic energy = J.

This time, the pendulum is 1.62 m long and has a mass of 4.59 kg. You give it a push away from vertical so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.82 m/s. Due to friction at the pivot point, 1.00 Joule of the pendulum s initial kinetic energy is lost as heat during the upward swing. What maximum angle will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? 29.5 degrees 28.0 degrees 24.6 degrees 26.4 degrees
6: On Neil deGrasse Tyson's reboot of Cosmos, he stands at the edge of an auditorium stage holding a bowling ball suspended by a steel cable. He releases the ball from rest while standing motionless and watches it return to the point depicted below. Why is he in no danger? A) Neil has a hard nose so he won't get hurt. B) The total mechanical energy in the system is fixed when he releases the ball. The bowling ball stops at the point in question because it would require extra energy for the ball to hit his nose. C) Gravity and tension point in opposite directions, so the bowling ball keeps moving at constant velocity. With no net force, Neil is in no danger. D) Neil is using “The Force" to control the movement of the bowling ball with his mind. 7 & 8: Three cars (car F, car G, and car H) are moving with the same velocity when each driver suddenly slams on the brakes, locking the wheels. The most massive car is car F, the least massive is car H, and all three cars have identical tires.
This time, the pendulum is 1.51 m long and has a mass of 3.01 kg. You give it a push away from vertical so that it starts swinging with a speed of 2.25 m/s. Due to friction at the pivot point, 1.00 Joule of the pendulum s initial kinetic energy is lost as heat during the upward swing. What maximum angle will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? 1 44.2 degrees 2 39.1 degrees 3 31.6 degrees 4 34.0 degrees
A ball is held at rest at some height above a horizontal surface. Once the ball is released it falls under gravity, hits the surface at time T1 , and starts bouncing vertically up and down. Suppose that with each bounce the ball loses a fixed fraction p (with 1>p>0) of its energy. This loss could be due to a number of reasons (inelasticity, drag, etc) that are left unspecified. How many times will the ball bounce before coming to rest? Provide a detailed explanation of your reasoning, not simply a one-line answer. How long will it take for the ball to come to rest (if at all), i.e., what is the stopping time Tstop? Give your answer for Tstop as a single formula that contains only two independent variables, namely p and the time T1 .
A 260 g particle in a semi-spherical bowl of radius 0.6 m is released from rest at point A at the level of the center of the bowl, and the surface of the bowl is rough.

You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A bullet of mass m is fired into a block of mass M. The block, with the embedded bullet, then slides across a frictionless table and collides with a horizontal spring whose spring constant is k. The opposite end of the spring is anchored to a wall. The spring's maximum compression d is measured. What percentage of the bullet's energy is "lost"?
A bullet having mass of 0.002kg hits a stationary block of wood having a mass of 14kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and floor is 0.12, and the block slides 3mm on the floor as a result of impact. Compute the energy lost during the impact. Provide FBD. Thank yooou.
