During a squash game, a player hits the ball, of 24 g, which is moving toward him horizontally at 150 km/h. The impact between the racket and the ball lasts 1.2 ms and the ball leaves with an identical speed but in the opposite direction as the initial velocity. The ball then hits the wall in front, 8 m away and 18 cm below the height of the hit. What is the average force acting on the ball during the impact?

A baseball of mass m1 = 0.29 kg is thrown at another ball hanging from the ceiling by a length of string L = 1.55 m. The second ball m2 = 0.81 kg is initially at rest while the baseball has an initial horizontal velocity of V1 = 3.5 m/s. After the collision the first baseball falls straight down (no horizontal velocity). What is the angle that the string makes with the vertical at the highest point of travel in degrees?

A metal object of mass m = 45.77 g with sharp edges hits a wooden block of mass M = 425.3 g at rest on a horizontal surface. Assume that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface μk is 0.43. When the metal object hits the block, it is stuck with the block and both start to slide together with velocity vf. They move together after the collision, and stop after sliding ∆x = 1.95 m. What is the initial velocity vi of the metal object before it hits the block in m/s? Keep three significant figures for the answer.
A 45.0 kg girl is standing on a 137 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface.

A small block of mass m = 3.00 kg starts from rest and slides down a rough 30.0° incline from a height of h=3.60m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is μk = 0.20. At the bottom it strikes a big block of mass M = 12.0kg, which is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. The collision is elastic.

Two spheres collide on a horizontal surface (all velocities, before and after the collision, are in the x-y plane). Throughout this problem, assume that all forces aside from those exerted by the spheres themselves are negligible (at least in comparison). Sphere A has a mass of 0.65 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.0 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ A i = 28 degrees below the x-axis. Sphere B has a mass of 0.45 grams. It has an initial speed of 6.5 m/s and an initial velocity that is oriented at an angle of θ B i = 35 degrees above the x-axis. After the collision, sphere A has a speed of 3.5 m/s and a velocity that is directed at an angle of θ A f = 16 degrees above the x-axis. What is the final speed, in units of meters per second, of sphere B?
