Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 24 m/s at an angle 35 degrees; with respect to the horizontal. Sarah catches the ball 1.5 meters above the ground.

g = 9.81m / s^2

(1) After catching the ball, Sarah throws it back to Julie. The ball leaves Sarah's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground, and is moving with a speed of 23 m/s when it reaches a maximum height of 13 m above the ground.

What is the speed of the ball when it leaves Sarah's hand?

How high above the ground will the ball be when it gets to Julie? (note, the ball may go over Julie's head.)

(2) After catching the ball, Sarah throws it back to Julie. However, Sarah throws it too hard so it is over Julie's head when it reaches Julie's horizontal position. Assume the ball leaves Sarah's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground, reaches a maximum height of 13 m above the ground, and takes 2.399 s to get directly over Julie's head.

What is the speed of the ball when it leaves Sarah's hand?

How high above the ground will the ball be when it gets to Julie?

A department store elevator is moving downward in a multistory building at a constant speed of 6.30 m/s. Exactly 2.04 s after the top of the elevator car passes a bolt loosely attached to the wall of the elevator shaft, the bolt falls from rest.

(a)

At what time (in s) does the bolt hit the top of the still-descending elevator? (Assume the bolt is dropped at

t = 0 s.)

(b) Estimate the number of floors through which the bolt can fall if the elevator reaches the ground floor before the bolt hits the top of the elevator. (Assume

1 floor = 3 m.)

A person's center of mass is easily found by having the person lie on a reaction board. A horizontal, 3.0-m-long, 6.1kg reaction board is supported only at the ends, with one end resting on a scale and the other on a pivot. A 57kg woman lies on the reaction board with her feet over the pivot. The scale reads 22kg. Assume that the woman doesn't move and a position of her center of mass doesn't change.

What is the distance from the woman's feet to her center of mass?

1) Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a level beach and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about ?0=33.7 m/s.Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball, with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory, and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after ?1=0.910 s. the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball hit the ground ?=125 m. from the base of the cliff.

How high above the beach was the ball when it was thrown?
