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?

- As 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_forwardYou 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_forwardA 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_forward
- A ball is dropped from a height 16 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_forwardHewey just received his new phone case from Amazon. Cam claims that HIS phone case is more durable. Hewey and Cam stand on top of two desks and they both hold their phones 3 m above the ground. 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_forwardDr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.0 m/s at a height 1.6 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_forward
- The vector position of a 3.65 g particle moving in the xy plane varies in time according to r1 = (3î + 3ĵ)t + 2ĵt2 where t is in seconds and r is in centimeters. At the same time, the vector position of a 5.45 g particle varies as r2 = 3î − 2ît2 − 6ĵt.arrow_forwardA firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by 17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed. What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece.
