A science student is riding on a flatcar of a train traveling along a straight horizontal track at a constant speed of 10.2 m/s. The student throws a ball along a path that she judges to make an initial angle of 54.5� with the horizontal and to be in line with the track. The student's professor, who is standing on the ground nearby, observes the ball to rise vertically. How high does the ball rise? (Neglect air resistance.)

A block of mass m = 1.0 kg sliding along a rough horizontal surface is traveling at a speed v0 = 10.0m/s when it strikes a massless spring head-on (see figure) and compresses the spring a maximum distance X =0.25m. If the spring has stiffness constant k = 100. N/m, determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and surface.

. A jeep is traveling on a straight road and it leaves a junction at time t = 0 second. It is then accelerates at 4 m/s 2 for 4 seconds. Suddenly, when the driver shifting the gears, there is no acceleration of the jeep for 1 second. After that, it is continue to accelerates at 5.5 m/s 2 for 5 seconds and maintain the speed it reached. On the other hand, a car leaves at the same junction as...

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with speed vo along the same line from the opposite direction toward the source, then the frequency of the sound heard by the observer is fo = c + vo c − vs fs where c is the speed of sound, about 332 m/s. (This is the Doppler effect.) Suppose that, at a particular moment, you are...
