Chapter 8, Problem 8.48AP
Why is the following situation impossible? A softball pitcher has a strange technique: she begins with her hand at rest at the highest point she can reach and then quickly rotates her arm backward so that the ball moves through a half-circle path. She releases the ball when her hand reaches the bottom of the path. The pitcher maintains a component of force on the 0.180-kg ball of constant magnitude 12.0 N in the direction of motion around the complete path. As the ball arrives at the bottom of the path, it leaves her hand with a speed of 25.0 m/s.

Starting from rest, a 30.6 kg child rides a 8.50 kg sled down a frictionless ski slope. At the bottom of the hill, her speed is 6.4 m/s. If the slope makes an angle of 15.1° with respect to the horizontal, how far along the hill did she slide on her sled?

The figure shows a cold package of hot dogs sliding rightward across a frictionless floor through a distance d = 22.0 cm while three
forces act on the package. Two of them are horizontal and have the magnitudes F₁ = 8.0 N and F₂ = 2.0 N; the third is angled down by
= 60.0° and has the magnitude F3 = 7.0 N. (a) For the 22.0 cm displacement, what is the net work done on the package by the three
applied forces, the gravitational force on the package, and the normal force on the package? (b) If the package has a mass of 4.0 kg and
an initial kinetic energy of 0, what is its speed (in m/s) at the end of the displacement?

The car and its occupants, of total mass 250 kg, reach point A with practically no velocity and then drop freely along the track.
