The 5 kg ball Ais released from rest when θ=60°and swings down, striking the 10 kg block B. If the distance between the ceiling to the center of the ball is 3 m and the coefficient ofrestitution is 0.8, determine The velocities of the block and the ball immediately after the impact. The distance block Bslides before coming to rest. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and the block is μ=0.4.

In a game of freeze, a person freezes into a position shown below. As a percentage of total body mass, the head is 10%, the two arms are 10%, the trunk is 46%, and the two legs are 34%. The center of mass for each segment is given as an (x,y) coordinate, both units in cm: head = (130, 150),arms = (110, 75),trunk = (65, 95), andlegs = (0, 35). Assume the body mass for the individual is 75 kg and their total height is 160 cm. The length of the feet is roughly 10 cm. Determine the x and y-coordinates of the person's center of mass for this pose. Show all steps. Show the location of the center of mass on the diagram. Is this pose stable or unstable? Explain.
A block of massm = 1.40 kg is at rest on a ramp of mass M = 5.10 kg which, in turn, is at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface (see (a) in the figure). The block and the ramp are aligned so that each has its center of mass located at x = 0. When released, the block slides down the ramp to the left and the ramp, also free to slide on the frictionless surface, slides to the right (see (b) in the figure). Calculate xamp (in m), the distance the ramp has moved to the right, when xlock = -0.500 m. HINT M Xramp Xblock m
10. A snowboarder starts at the top of a 160. m tall hill with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. The portion of the hill covered with snow is essentially frictionless, but the flat, horizontal section at the base of the hill covered with mud is not. If the snowboarder masses in at 80.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between board and mud is 0.750, how much distance is required for the snowboarder to come to rest?
A reckless coyote engineer straps on a pair of ice skates and attaches a rocket capable of producing 5.00 x 10'N of thrust to his back. Together, the coyote and the rocket have a mass of 1.20 x 10 kg. If the coyote starts at rest on level, frictionless ice and bends over such that the rocket thrust is parallel to the ice, what is his final •speed v if the rocket burns for 4.40 s? m/s

Shot put is a track and field event in which a heavy spherical ball (the "shot") is thrown (or "put", using the sport's terminology) as far as possible. A "shot" with mass of 4.3 kg is "put" into the air. Its initial speed is 9.5 m/s, directed at an angle 42 degrees above the horizontal. If the initial height of the ball was 176 cm when it was thrown, how high off the ground (in m) is the ball when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory?
