Part I
An object is through from the origin at an initial velocity of v0 and at an angle θ in relation to the horizon.
a. write out r->(t) for the object
b. find the velocity vector and acceleration vector for the object.
c. calculate the angle between the velocity vector and the
acceleration vector at any point in time t.
Part II
An object is moving upwards on a slope at initial velocity v0. There is friction between the object and the slope.
a. Calculate the amount of time it will take for the body to return to its initial position.
b. what is the ratio between the final velocity and the initial velocity?
Thank you!

A baseball player is 98m away from home plate when he throws the ball at a 30° angle above horizontal from a height of 1.45 m (the height of his hand).
a. What is the initial speed of the throw for the ball to land exactly on home plate? In order to solve this problem, set up equations for x and y position vs time. Put in all known values. You will have two remaining unknowns: v0(the magnitude of the initial velocity) and t. Solve the system of equations.
b.How long does it take the ball to get to home plate?
c.What is the maximum height that the ball is above the ground?
d. Sketch with coordinate system

Two identical, small insulating balls are suspended by separate 0.21-m threads that are attached to a common point on the ceiling. Each ball has a mass of 7.4 x 10-4 kg. Initially the balls are uncharged and hang straight down. They are then given identical positive charges and, as a result, spread apart with an angle of 50 degrees between the threads. Determine (a) the charge on each ball and (b) the tension in the threads.

The drawing shows a collision between two pucks on an air-hockey table. Puck A has a mass of 0.0240 kg and is moving along the x axis with a velocity of +6.27 m/s. It makes a collision with puck B, which has a mass of 0.0480 kg and is initially at rest. The collision is not head-on. After the collision, the two pucks fly apart with the angles shown in the drawing. Find the speed of (a) puck A and (b) puck B. angles: a=65, b=37

A satellite in a circular orbit around the earth with a radius 1.011 times the mean radius of the earth is hit by an incoming meteorite. A large fragment (m = 75.0 kg) is ejected in the backwards direction so that it is stationary with respect to the earth and falls directly to the ground. Its speed just before it hits the ground is 359.0 m/s.
Find the total work done by gravity on the satellite fragment. RE 6.37
