Problem 12
A rollercoaster cart is gently nudged over the top of a hill, causing it to
roll through a dip before flattening out (as in the diagram above). If the
cart's speed at the very top of the hill is taken to be 0 m/s and the track
is frictionless, what will be the cart's speed along the flat section of the
track, 20 m below the top of the hill? Remember, g = 9.8 m/s². Don't
forget units!
The surface of a pool table is h=0.710 m from the floor. The winner of a competition wants to know if he has broken the world speed record for the break shot of 32 mph (about 14.3 m/s). A. If the winner’s ball landed d=4.95 m from the table’s edge, calculate the speed of his break shot v0. Assume friction is negligible. B. At what speed v1 did his pool ball hit the ground? Image is attached below. Please show all work.
A particle can slide along a track with elevated ends and a flat central part, as shown in
Figure. The flat part has length L. The curved portions of the track are frictionless, but for
the flat part the coefficient of kinetic friction is u = 0.20. The particle is released from rest
at point A, which is at height h = L/2. How far from the left edge of the flat part does the
particle finally stop?

- On a beautiful spring day Rosie and Frankie decide to go skateboarding at the local skate park. Frankie has this really cool trick that she wants to try out on one of the half-pipe at the park. She tells Rosie to go stand on her skateboard in the center at the bottom of the half-pipe. Frankie then tells Rosie she is going to drop down from rest at the top of the half-pipe which stands at a height of 4.5 m. Frankie tells Rosie to grab onto her arms when she gets to the bottom so they can create a perfectly inelastic collision and move together after the collision. Unfortunately, when Frankie attempts this trick another skater named Mike drops down from rest on the other side (which is at the same height of 4.5 m) behind Rosie which results in the screaming Rosie-Frankie combination colliding elastically with Mike. If Rosie has a mass of 50.0 kg, Frankie has a mass of 70.0 kg, and Mike has a mass of 100.0 kg what is the final velocity of all three of the skaters after the elastic…arrow_forwardon an unknown planet, a 145 g baseball is hit so that it travels straight upward to reach a maximum height of 15.6 m after being struck by the bat.
