Chapter 4, Problem 53EAP
A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted
3.5 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor.
4.0 m to one side of the point directly under the ball. When a
button is pressed, the ball drops and. simultaneously, the cannon
fires a 25 g plastic ball. The two balls collide 1.0 m above the floor.
What was the launch speed of the plastic ball?

10 m.
3. A baseball player throws a 0.2 kg ball horizontally from the top of a 10 m tall hill with a velocity
of 40 m/s. How long was the ball in the air?
An archer shoots an 18.0-gram arrow at a 43.0-gram target on a wall 32.0 m high. If the arrow is shot at a velocity of v0 = 60.0 m/s, the speed of the arrow is 54.5 m/s when it reaches the target.
If the arrow becomes embedded in the target and they both fly off the wall together, at what speed will they leave the wall?
Should I use 60.0 m/s in the equation or 54.5 m/s:
V’=(0.018)(60.0m/s)/ (0.061) -or- V’=(0.018)(54.5m/s)/ (0.061)

The arrow enters the block horizontally at va1 = 35 m/sand passes through to the other side, exiting horizontally at va2 = 15 m/s. a) Determine the speed of the styrofoam after the arrow exits the block. b) Determine where the Styrofoam will land with respect to the arrow. Assume the arrow passedright through the centre of mass of the block, and both objects drop the same vertical distance tothe ground.arrow_forwardA 0.50 kg ball is thrown up into the air with an initial speed of 9.0 m/s. What is the maximum height of the ball?arrow_forwardAs part of an obstacle course, an athlete must kick a soccer ball into a 1 meter wide and 10 meter deep pit such that the ball hits a target at the bottom of the pit. In practice, a dynamics student that is participating in the race kicks the soccer ball such that the soccer ball will bounce off the far wall of the pit 5 meters below the surface and head towards the target. If the velocity of the ball before striking the wall at point A is v A = 3.02 – 103 m, determine the n-component of the ball's velocity vector (in m) after striking the wall. The size of the ball and the target are negligible relative to the dimensions of the pit, the gravity acceleration must be considered as 10 m and the coefficient of restitution at point A is e = 0.45. 5 т A 10 m 1marrow_forward
- You need to get into your fourth-floor apartment, but you have forgotten your key to the main ground floor door of the building. You call up to your lazy roommate to come down and let you in, but he says he will throw the keys down to you instead. The window that he throws the keys out of is 13 meters above the ground, and he chucks them with a speed of 2m/s at an angle of 20 degrees above horizontal. The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is 9.8 m/s?. How far back from the window do you need to stand to catch the keys?arrow_forwardOn planet #2, you launch a projectile straight up from the ground at a speed of 77.4 m/s. The projectile reaches a maximum height of 23.2 m before falling back to the ground. What is the value of g for planet #2? A 6.95 m/s^2 B 129.11 m/s^2 C 258.22 m/s^2 D 3.48 m/s^2arrow_forwardA ball is dropped from a height 30 m above the ground at t=0.0. Each time it bounces from the ground, its rebound speed is 60% of its impact speed. At the instant the first ball hits the ground, a second ball is released from the same place. Take g = 9.8 m/s2. At what height above the ground will they collide? (Take the ground as y=0.0 m)arrow_forward
- A board 2.5 m long leans against a vertical wall. It starts to slide down the wall. The instant the bottom end is 2 m from the base of the wall, the top end is moving down the wall at the rate of 2 m/s. At that moment, how fast is the bottom sliding along the horizontal ground. 1.5 m/s 2 m/s 0.5 m/s 2.5 m/sarrow_forwardDr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.arrow_forwardA 120-g toy car is propelled by a compressed spring that starts it moving. The car follows the curved track in the figure.

Hewey drops his phone straight down. At the exact same moment his phone is dropped, Cam throws his phone across the room at 2 m/s. Which phone will strike the ground first? You must explain/justify your answer.arrow_forwardA puck of mass m=2 kg moves on a circle of radius r=0.5 meters, on a frictionless table. The puck is attached to an object of mass M=10 kg by a cord that extends through a hole on the table. Find the speed of the puck if the object is at rest. You may take g=10m/s².

In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron (mass 9.11 x 10-31 kg) has a speed of 5.00 x 107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 8.00 x 10-24 kg • m/s. What is the recoil speed of the nucleus?arrow_forward
