As shown in the figure below, two blocks (m1 and m2) are each released from rest at a height of
h = 4.68 m
on a frictionless track and when they meet on the horizontal section of the track they undergo an elastic collision. If
m1 = 2.50 kg
and
m2 = 4.05 kg,
determine the maximum heights to which they rise after the collision. Use the coordinate system shown in the figure.

During the middle of a family picnic, Barry Allen received a message that his friends Bruce and Hal needed to be saved. Barry promised his wife Iris that he would be back in exactly 5 minutes. From that that picnic location, Barry runs at a speed of 600 m/s for 2 minutes at a heading of 35° north of west to save Bruce. He then changed his heading to 30° west of north, slows down to 400 m/s and runs for 1 minute to save Hal. (The changes in speed are essentially instantaneous and not part of solving this problem). (a) Draw a physical representation of the displacement during Barry’s full trip. (b) Use the Related Quantities sense-making technique to compare Barry’s total distance traveled to the magnitude of his displacement. (c) What average velocity (magnitude and direction) does Barry need to return back to the picnic in order to keep his promise to Iris?

A person drops a cylindrical steel bar (Y = 7.00 × 1010 Pa) from a height of 1.40 m (distance between the floor and the bottom of the vertically oriented bar). The bar, of length L = 0.780 m, radius R = 0.00650 m, and mass m = 1.600 kg, hits the floor and bounces up, maintaining its vertical orientation. Assuming the collision with the floor is elastic, and that no rotation occurs, what is the maximum compression of the bar? In meters

When landing poorly from a jump, your leg is likely to break at a point just above the ankle where the cross-sectional area of the bone (the tibia) is smallest. The tibia has a radius of 0.70.7cm. A bone will fracture when the compressive stress on it exceeds 130130MPa.
Your intrepid physics instructor (mass 6060kg) jumps from a desktop of height 1.21.2m onto a concrete floor, landing evenly on two legs. How much should she bend her knees to avoid breaking bones? Specifically, what is the minimum stopping distance dd such that the stress on the tibia during her landing is sufficiently low that it will not break? Give your answer in cm.
Notice that landing with stiff knees greatly decreases this stopping distance and is thus a really bad idea.

A mass spectrometer is being used to separate common oxygen-16 from the much rarer oxygen-18, taken from a sample of old glacial ice. (The relative abundance of these oxygen isotopes is related to climatic temperature at the time the ice was deposited.) The ratio of the masses of these two ions is 16 to 18, the mass of oxygen-16 is 2.66 ✕ 10−26 kg, and they are singly charged and travel at 3.70 ✕ 106 m/s in a 1.70 T magnetic field. What is the separation (in m) between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle?
