It is a sunny day, and we have decided to do lab outside instead of staying cooped up. Ceylani goes to the top of Jordan Hall, and throws a ball of mass 4.87 kg down from the top of Jordan which is 124 m tall. Her lab partner, Tray, is waiting at the bottom to collect the ball and return it, for more data trials. The ball has a speed of 3.8 m/s when Ceylani throws it straight down. What is the speed of the ball as it reaches the ground?

Tommy accidentally drops a 50 kg concrete block from the 20 m tall building with what speed does the brick hit the ground? Take g=9.8m/s2
You find yourself stuck in outer space with nothing but your physics book and a space suit. You have a mass of 91 kg in your suit, and your physics book has a mass of 2.3 kg. In order to make it back to your stationary spaceship before running out of air, you must move at 0.18 m/s. How fast (in m/s) do you have to throw your physics book to achieve this speed?

A 0.8 kg ball is at rest on top of a 0.75 m high frictionless ramp as seen below. Given that the high of zero is at the bottom of the ramp, what is the velocity of the ball when it reaches the bottom of the ramp?
3m v = 0 7. A projectile is launched at a 53° angle with a speed of 100 m/s. At the highest point, the projectile explodes into two parts, one three times heavier than the other. After the explosion, the lighter fragment's initial velocity is zero. a. What is the speed of the projectile just before the explosion? [60.2] b. What is the speed v of the heavier fragment just after the explosion? i) How high is the projectile when the explosion happens? ii) How long does it take each piece to reach the ground? с. d. i) How far horizontally is the projectile when the explosion happens? ii) If the projectile hadn't exploded, how far from the launch point would it have landed? (480.8m & 961.6m] e. What is the location of each fragment from the launch point when they hit the ground? [480.2m, 1121.76 m] f. i) What is the location of the center of mass of the two fragments when they land? ii) How does this compare with your answer in part d.ii?
Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes them apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 4.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 46 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. Once that transfer is complete, what are the kinetic energies of each particle? (a) particle A --------- J(b) particle B --------- J
Yolanda is at the firing range practicing how to shoot a gun. A 12 g bullet is fired from her gun and moves vertically upwards at a velocity of 950m/s and strikes a 2kg brick which is originally at rest, as shown in the picture below. If the bullet emerges from the brick at a speed of 290m/s, help Yolanda figure out; 1. What is the The max height to which the brick rises ? 2. What is The increase in the internal energy of the bullet-brick system? 290 m/s 950 m/s
