A mysterious tower has been constructed at the edge of a gridiron football field. Even more mysteriously, the field has been marked carefully in meters instead of yards. On top of the tower is a well calibrate ball launcher that will fire heavy ball at a velocity of 14.7 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees abive the horizontal. The ball lands 46.1 meters away from the base of the tower.

A) How long does it take for the ball to reach max height?

B)How long does it take for the ball to return to the height from which it was launched?

C) What is the total flight time of the ball?

D) How tall is the tower?

At t = 0s, the leading edge of a wave (wavelength 1m) is 3m to the left of a boundary. The wave is moving to the right at 1m/s. The transmitted wave has wavelength 3m. (You may draw pictures to help you answer the questions below, but you must explicitly state - in words - the answers to the questions.)

(a)[8 pt(s) ]At t = 5s, where is the leading edge of the transmitted wave? Is the transmitted wave inverted or non-inverted, and why?

Most of us know intuitively that in a head-on collision between a large dump truck and a subcompact car, you are better off being in the truck than in the car. Why is this? Many people imagine that the collision force exerted on the car is much greater than that exerted on the truck. To substantiate this view, they point out that the car is crushed, whereas the truck is only dented. This idea of unequal forces, of course, is false; Newton's third law tells us that both objects are acted upon by forces of the same magnitude. The truck suffers less damage because it is made of stronger metal. But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 6.40 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision. Each driver has mass 72.0 kg. Including the masses of the drivers, the total masses of the vehicles are 800 kg for the car and 4,000 kg for the truck. If the collision time is 0.100 s, what force does the seat belt exert on each driver? force on truck driver N force on car driver N

Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch it at the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the time the ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to the time the ball lands in your hand.

Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch it at the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the time the ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to the time the ball lands in your hand.
Determine the velocity of the ball at the moment of release and the distance the ball traveled before it started its descent. Graph the flight of the ball into five sections: (1) from initiation of upward motion of the hand to just prior to release, (2) from moment of release to just before maximum height, (3) at maximum height, (4) from maximum height to just before you catch the ball, (5) from the ball contact to the ball being brought to rest. For each section, describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
