Chapter 10, Problem 35P
Your friend's Frisbee has become stuck 16m above the ground in a tree. You want to dislodge the Frisbee by throwing a rock at it. The Frisbee is stuck pretty tight, so you figure the rock needs to be traveling at least 5.0 m/s when it hits the Frisbee. If you release the rock 2.0 m above the ground, with what minimum speed must you throw it?

The potato is held straight out horizontally from the point of support, with the string pulled taut, and is then released. What is the speed of the potato at the lowest point of its motion? Take free fall acceleration to be 9.80 m/s2.arrow_forwardMalar is playing with a toy car and track set. She has assembled the track so that it contains a large hill to let the car roll down, followed by a series of small hills and then a short, flat section on the floor. The car starts at the top of the hill, which is 137 cm above the short, flat section. If there were no friction or air resistance, how fast would the car be moving when it reached the flat section at the bottom? If the car is measured to be moving with a speed of 3.24 m/s on the flat section at the bottom, then how much energy was lost due to friction and air resistance? The car's mass is 64 grams. Malar adds to the track so that the car's release point is even higher now. How high would the release point need to be in order for the car to have the speed you found in part (a) when it reaches the short, flat section at the bottom? Assume that the same amount energy that was lost in part (b) is also lost in this case.arrow_forward
