1. A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. ‘The ball leaves his raequet with a
speed of 20.0 m/s at am angle of 5° above the horizontal. ‘The horizontal distance to the
net is 7m and the net is 1m high. Does the ball clear the net? If so, by how much? If
not, by how much does it miss?
Solution:
‘This is a 2D projectile motion problem. We are given the initial height. of the ball
above the ground, y, — 2m, its initial velocity, vy — 20.0 m/s, aud the angle above
the horizontal with which the ball is hit, @ = 5°. We are also given the horizontal
distance to the net, 2, ~ 7 m, and the vertical height of the net, yy — 1m. We are
asked whether the ball clears the net or not,
‘Tosolve the problem we first determine the initial velocity of the ball in the horizontal
() and vertical (y) dimensions:

“The blocks accelerate with the same magnitude but in opposite directions, Thus the
acceleration constraint is ay = a = ~ay, where a will have a positive value because
of how we have defined the +2 direction. There are two real action/roaction pairs.

loop-the-loop of radius , From what minimum height / must the block start to make
it around without falling off? Give your answer as a multiple of Ri.
Solution:
‘This is a two-part problem, In the first part, we will find the critical velocity for the
block to go over the top of the loop without falling off. Since there is no friction,
the sun of the kinetic and gravitational potential energy is conserved during the
block’s motion. We will use this conservation equation in the second part to find the
minimum height the block must start from to make it around the loop.
Place the origin of the coordinate system directly below the block's starting position
on the frictionless track. From the free-body diagram we have

full of water is floating upright in water. What length of the can is above the water

Solution:
‘The buoyant force, Fx, on the can is given by Archimedes’ principle.
Let the length of the can above the water level be d, the total length of the can be
L, and the cross-sectional area of the can be A. The can is in static equilibrium, so

17. Water flowing out of a 16 mm diameter faucet fills a 2.0 L bottle in 10s. At what
distance below the faucet has the water stream narrowed to 10 mm in diameter?
Solution:
16 mm
We treat the water as an ideal fluid obeying Bernoulli's equation. ‘The pressure at
point 1 is py and the pressure at point 1 is pp. Both p, and py are atmospheric
pressure, The velocity and the area at point 1 are v and Ay, and at point 2 they
are v and Ap. Let d be the distance of point 2 below point 1.
First, we use the time it takes to fill a 2.0 L bottle to compute the flow rate, Q, the

18, A100 g ice cube at —10° C is placed in an aluminum cup Whose initial temperature is
70° C, The system comes to an equilibrium temperature of 20° C, What is the mass of
the cup?
Solution:
There are two interacting systems: aliminam and ice, ‘The system comes to thermal
equilibrium in four steps: (1) the ice temperature increases from 10 °C to —0 °C;
(2) the ice becomes water at 0 °C; (3) the water temperature increases from 0 °C to
20 °C; and (4) the cup temperature decreases from 70 °C ta 20°C.
Since the aluminum aud ice form a elosed system, we have

of attack, The group optimized their trcbuchet so that their projectile can be fired from
a great distance to hit the castle wall. Their trebuchet includes a counterweight mass of
931 kg, a-moment arm, fy — 2m, a projectile mass of 7 kg, a moment: arm £2) — 10 m,
rm mass of 25 kg, and a release angle of & = 90° due to a stopper on the trebuchet
that: stops the projectile arm from going any further. "The pivot pout is 8 1 above
the ground, Find the distance from the castle wall that the trebuchet needs to be plaeed
so that the projectile hits che wall
Solution:
This problem uses the torque created by the difference in the force/moment-arm
ratios of the counterweight. and projectile to generate an angular acceleration,
There are two torque terms for the trebuchet. The counterweight will create a
clockwise rotation (whieh by convention is negative) and the projectile will create a
Positive counterclockwise rotation.
Because the projectile is ina cup attached to the arm, the foree and the
arm are perpendicular to each other. For that torque term, IF, sinfangle) — RyF,
However, the counterweight ane its moment arm are not perpeneiicular to each other

our calculations have been for circular motion as the projectile is moved by
the trebuchet. Once the projectile leaves the trebuchet, we neod to switch to linear
motion.
To find the linear velocity with which the projectile leaves the trebuchet, we convert
the angular velocity to linear velocity.

‘The original description tells us that the projectile travels through an angle of
90°while on the trebuchet. Using this information, we can find the angle at which
the projectile leaves the trebuchet and its height.
We need to use the kinematic equations for projectile motion to find the time it takes
for the projectile to hit the ground, Then use this time, to calculate the horizontal
range of the trebuchet.
vy = vsind = 68n/s x sin 37” = Aim/s (21)
(25)
We're able to ealenlate the starting height of the projectile using the figure nbove.
Because the trebuehct travels through 90°, we can use the same triangle for right
before the trebuchet is fired and right after the projectile is released. Because these
triangles are the same, the height at which the projectile leaves the trebuchet is 16
