A soccer player kicks the ball toward a goal that is 27.6 m in front of him. The ball leaves his foot at a speed of 18.5 m/s and an angle of 31.2° above the ground. Find the speed of the ball when the goalie catches it in front of the net. (Note: The answer is not 18.5 m/s.)
I keep getting a final velocity of 13.92797m/s but its incorrect. Please show your work so I can see what I'm doing wrong.

Internal injuries in vehicular accidents may be due to what is called the "third collision" The first collision is the vehicle hitting the external object. The second collision is the person hitting something on the inside of the car, such as the dashboard or windshield. This may cause external lacerations. The third collision, possibly the most damaging to the body, is when organs, such as the heart or brain, hit the ribcage, skull, or other confines of the body, bruising the tissues on the leading edge and tearing the organ from its supporting structures on the trailing edge.
A) Why is there a third collision? In other words, why are the organs still moving after the second collision?
B) If the vehicle was traveling at 60 mph before the first collision, would the organs be traveling more than, equal to, or less than 60 mph just before the third collision?

in free-fall describe how their velocities and their distances change through time (neglecting air

(1) A block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3o above horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank?
(2) Continuing the story... after the block begins sliding down the incline at 56.3o, you measure its acceleration down the plank as 7.42 m/s2. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plank?
These will be clicker questions on Wednesday, and we will work together through some problems involving tension and pairs of objects.

Suppose a 10 kg ball makes a one dimensional collision with a 5 kg ball. Think about what could happen to the velocity of the 5 kg ball as a result of the collision. Could it remain unchanged? Could it increase? Could it decrease? Is it possible for both balls to end up traveling in the same direction after the collision? For each result you think could happen, please briefly explain why and offer an example of starting conditions that would cause that result. If you think a certain result couldn't happen, please also briefly explain why.

A spring (70 N/m ) has an equilibrium length of 1.00 m. The spring is compressed to a length of 0.50 m and a mass of 2.2 kg is placed at its free end on a frictionless slope which makes an angle of 41 ? with respect to the horizontal. The spring is then released. (Figure 1) |
Part A If the mass is not attached to the spring, how far up the slope from the compressed point will the mass move before coming to rest? Express your answer using two significant figures.
SubmitRequest Answer Part B If the mass is attached to the spring, how far up the slope from the compressed point will the mass move before coming to rest? Express your answer using two significant figures.
SubmitRequest Answer Part C Now the incline has a coefficient of kinetic friction ?k. If the block, attached to the spring, is observed to stop just as it reaches the spring's equilibrium position, what is the coefficient of friction ?k? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Water flows through the pipe in the figure below and exits to
the atmosphere at the right end of section C. The diameter of the
pipe is 2.12 cm at A, 4.24 cm at B, and 0.880 cm at C. The gauge
pressure in the pipe at the center of section A is 1.25 atm and the
flow rate is 0.856 L/s. The vertical pipes are open to the air.
Find the level (above the flow midline as shown) of the liquid-air
interfaces in the two vertical pipes. Assume laminar nonviscous
flow.
