[Problem 1] (a) A tennis player strikes an incoming tennis ball of mass 50g as
shown in the figure. The incoming velocity of the ball is vi = 10m/s, and the
outgoing velocity is vf = 20m/s. If the collision time was 0.01s, what was the
average force exerted by the tennis racket? [Assume that sin45°=0.7 and
cos45°=0.7]
(b) Object A with mass mA and velocity v0 elastically collides with object B with
mass mB at rest. After collision, the velocity of object B becomes v0/2. Which
object has the greater mass and how much greater?
(c) If v0=+8.0 m/s, what is vA after collision?
[Problem 2] A block with mass kg slides down an incline with an angle of
from rest at point A and reaches point B, as shown below. From the point B,
the block slides on a level surface a distance of m toward a spring with
spring constant . Then, the block compresses the spring and stops momentarily.
Assume that the gravitational acceleration is m/s2, the height of the
incline is m, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the
(incline, level) surface, , is always the same (i.e., constant).
(a) When the block reaches point B from point A, the velocity of the block is
m/s. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction ( ) between the block and the
incline surface ?
(b) If the spring constant is N/m, what is the maximum distance when
the block momentarily stops after compressing the spring? (Hint: The solution
to the equation ' ' is '0.2'.)
[Problem 3] A ball is launched with a speed v0 = 40m/s at an angle θ = 30° from a
building with its height h = 60m. Ignore air resistance. ( ms and
) (a) Find the height from the ground when the ball reaches the highest
point of its flight. (b) Find the time it takes for the ball to reach the ground. (c)
Find the horizontal distance from the starting point to where the ball hits the
ground.
[Problem 4] A uniform thin stick has mass and length . And a small ball of
mass is attached with glue to one end of the stick. As shown in the figure, the
other end of the stick is attached to a frictionless pivot (O). Initially the stick with
the attached ball is erected vertically, and starts to rotates clockwise from rest.
(a) At the initial position, find the center
of mass for the stick-ball joint system.
(b) The limiting strength of the glue
holding small ball to the stick is .
At what angle θA will the glue fail to hold
the ball? (i.e. Find the angle
where the ball is released from the stick).
Note that 0° ≦ θA ≦ 360°.
(c) After the ball is released from the
stick, the stick continues to rotate and come to rest at point C. Find the angle
for point C. Note that 0° ≦ θC ≦ 360°.
[Problem 5] In the figure, box 1 (total mass
kg ) and box 2 (total mass kg ) slide
down an inclined plane while attached by a massless
rod parallel to the plane. The angle of incline is
( sin and cos ). The
coefficient of kinetic friction between the box 1 and
the incline is ; that between the box 2 and the incline is . Compute
(a) the tension in the rod and (b) the magnitude of common acceleration of the
two boxes. The gravitational acceleration is ms
