Chapter 13, Problem 13.191RP
A 2-oz pellet shot vertically from a spring-loaded pistol on the surface of the earth rises to a height of 300 ft. The same pellet shot from the same pistol on the surface of the moon rises to a height of 1900 ft. Determine the energy dissipated by aerodynamic drag when the pellet is shot on the surface of the earth. (The acceleration of gravity on the surface of the moon is 0.165 times that on the surface of the earth.)

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by the seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton's first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm. A 55 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 23.0 m/s.
Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys. Assume that the local acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s2.
Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is NOT restained by a seat belt and air bag.
A lightweight drone (1.00 kg) is launched at 800 m high and moves upward at a constant velocity (while ignoring the effects of gravity only on the drone). The balloon, when measured at a horizontal distance from you, is about 1600 m away from you. At the moment when the drone moves, you shoot a bullet (weight =180 g) with an initial velocity of 1009 m/s at a fixed angle α, where sin α=3/5 and cos α= 4/5. (g = 9.8 m/s2)
Question: Provided that the collision is inelastic, calculate the speed after the collision
Joanna and her brother are skiing together while Joanna is holding the end of a rope tied to her brother. They are both moving at a velocity of 7.20kph on a sloping portion of the ski slope. Joanna notices that they are approaching a steep ski slope. She then pulls the rope with an average force of 7 Newtons. If the angle of the rope will not change and the coefficient of kinetic friction between her brother and the ground is 0.10, determine (a) the time required for her brother’s speed to be cut in half, and (b) the distance traveled in this time.
