10. A poolio-coolio claims that he has perfected the greatest trick shot of all time. He claims that he can
arrange three pool balls in the center of the table such that when he hits them with the cue ball some
extraspecialness happens. He claims that the cue ball comes to rest, two of the balls move directly away
from each other along a line perpendicular to the direction of the incoming cue ballI, and the remaining
ball moves in the direction of the cue balls original path. All of the balls involved have the same mass.
Using your cunning physics prowess, prove that he is full of hot air. Hint: You will need to use
momentum and kinetic energy.
Judy has a mass of 72.0kg and stands on slippery ice. She catches her leaping dog (mass 15.0kg),moving horizontally at 3.00 m/s. What is the speed of Judy and her dog after she catches him?
Ex. 63 : A ballet dancer spins about vertical axis
at 90 r.p.m. with arms outstretched. With the
arms folded, the momentum of inertia about
the same axis change by 25%. Calculate the new
frequency of revolution.

- The figure below shows a titanium ball with a mass of 3.30 kg bouncing off a wall. The ball has the same speed just before and just after the impact (v = 10.0 m/s), and the angle its path makes with the wall is ? = 60.0°as shown. (Because we are analyzing the motion of the ball over a very short time just before and after impact, you may safely ignore the effect of gravity on the ball.)

- The motion of a human body through space can be modeled as the motion of a particle at the bodys center of mass as we will study in Chapter 9. The components of the displacement of an athletes center of mass from the beginning to the end of a certain jump are described by the equations xj = 0 + (11.2 m/s) (cos 18.5)t 0.360 m = 0.840 m + (11.2 m/s)(sin 18.5)t - 12(9.80 m/s2)t2 where t is in seconds and is the time at which the athlete ends the jump.

- 3. Harry Potter is doing his usual thing of cruising around looking for the Golden Snitch when a rogue bludger drills him in the arm. We can assume that the bludger is initially moving at a speed of 15.0 m/s and hits Harry directly from the side. If Harry had been moving forward with a speed of 24.0 m/s and the bludger and Harry stick together after the collision, what is their final velocity (both magnitude and direction)? Assume that Harry has a mass of 48.0 kg (including his Nimbus 2000) and that the mass of a bludger is 25.0 kg. m B = 25.0 kg B = 15.0 m/s Bam! Harry+Bludger v = ?

The balls are released at the same time and start rolling down the incline. (you are supposed to see that all is not perfect. we don’t expect the identical balls to travel down the ramp at the exact same time, only close. you should see that if the balls are close ‘within 1 or 2 cm’, we will call it identical.
