Chapter 5, Problem 5.19DQ
A professor swings a rubber stopper in a horizontal circle on the end of a string in front of his class. He tells Caroline, in the front row, that he is going to let the string go when the stopper is directly in front of her face. Should Caroline worry?

You are working as an expert witness for the defense of a container ship captain whose ship ran into a reef surrounding an island. The captain is being charged with intentionally running the ship into the reef. In discovery, the following information is correct: The ship was traveling at 2.5 m/s toward the reef when a mechanical failure caused the rudder to jam in the straight-ahead position. At that point in time, the ship was 900 m from the reef. The wind was blowing directly toward the reef and exerting a constant force of 9.00 x 103 N on the boat in a direction toward the reef. The mass of the ship and its cargo was 5.50 x 107kg. During the preparation for the trial, the captain claims that without control of the direction of travel, the only choice he had was to put the engines in reverse at maximum power, such that the total force exerted by the frictional drag force of the water on the propeller was 1.25 x 105 N in a direction away from the reef. From this information, construct…
The Xanthar mothership locks onto an enemy cruiser with its tractor beam (see the figure below); each ship is at rest in deep space with no propulsion following a devastating battle. The
mothership is at x = 0 when its tractor beams are first engaged, a distance d = 235 xiles from the cruiser. Determine the x-position in xiles (measured from x = 0) of the two spacecraft
when the tractor beam has pulled them together. Model each spacecraft as a point particle with the mothership of mass M = 160 xons and the cruiser of mass m = 16.0 xons.

Dr. 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.

Fortunately, my reaction time was zero, and I was able to stop from a speed of 17 m/s in a mere 50 m, just barely avoiding the deer, without the coffee mug sliding.
