Samus Aran from the Metroid series of video games has the ability to roll into a ball to get into smaller areas. Samus rolls down a path which drops down 22.0 m. If she was at rest when she started at the top, what is her linear velocity at the bottom of the path? Treat her as a solid sphere with a moment of inertia of 2/5 mr^2 .
Moon Knight, from both comics and the show of the same name, has crescent shaped daggers he throws at enemies. To throw a crescent dagger he applies a force of 0.918 N at an angle of 75.0° relative to the dagger’s center of mass at a point 0.0690 m away from the dagger’s center of mass. If the crescent dagger has a moment of inertia of 2.57⋅10^−5 kg⋅m^2 , what is the angular acceleration of a crescent dagger as it is thrown?
Because you are taking physics, your friend asks you to explain the detection of gravity waves that was made by LIGO in early 2016. (See the section that discusses LIGO.) To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of
spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below.
This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble
horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…

- (a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.78 × 104 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s)? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.) m/s (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85 x 104 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby).

The spring can move freely around the post. The other end of the spring is attached to a puck of mass m. The puck is set into motion in a circle around the post with a period of 1.32 s.

- Shown below is a waterslide constructed in the late 1800's. This slide was unique for its time due to the fact that a large number of small wheels along its length made friction negligible. Riders rode a small sled down the chute which ended with a horizontal section that caused the sled and rider to skim across the water much like a flat pebble. The chute was 9.76 m high at the top and 54.3 m long. Consider a rider and sled with a combined mass of 81.0 kg. They are pushed off the top of the slide from point A with a speed of 2.90 m/s, and they skim horizontally across the water a distance of 50 m before coming to rest. 9.76 m Engraving from Scientific American, July 1888 A (a) 20.0 m -54.3 m 50.0 m (b) (a) Find the speed (in m/s) of the sled and rider at point C. m/s (b) Model the force of water friction as a constant retarding force acting on a particle.

Your supervisor is in the process of designing a new, very large dryer to be used in commercial establishments with intense laundry needs, such as restaurants (tablecloths, napkins) and hotels (sheets, towels). In a dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet material is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis as shown in the figure below. 0 So that the material will dry uniformly, it is made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of 0 = 71.0° above the horizontal. Your supervisor's tub is designed to have a radius of r = 1.23 m and she asks you to determine the appropriate rate of revolution.

The hole that the golfer is aiming for is directly south of the tee, a distance of 370 m. The golfer hits the ball from this tee with an initial velocity that is 48.0° above the horizontal, and the horizontal component of the ball's initial velocity is directly south. The horizontal range that the golf ball travels in flight is also 370 m, but the golfer is surprised to find that the golf ball does not land in the hole. We will assume that air resistance is negligible for the golf ball. The questions below analyze how the Earth's rotation affects the golf ball's apparent trajectory.
