A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.38-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 4.91 cm and has a force constant of 8.08 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.6 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 6 N on the ball.
(a) With what speed does the projectile leave the barrel of the
cannon? m/s
(b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed? cm (from its
original position)
(c) What is this maximum speed? m/s

Your supervisors at A&L Engineering have tasked you with evaluating the durability of three common materials used in the design of cell phone cases. For each material type, you have been asked to determine the force of impact of a phone dropped from a set height above the ground. Using the mass of each case and the collision time, determine the force of impact on each case material and determine which case material offers the most protection.
To facilitate your analysis, you have been provided with specifications for case materials in the table below. However, you may also use your own figures for the mass of phones and test case materials. If you do use a different figure, be sure to make that clear in your analysis. As you use this data, ensure that you have made the necessary SI unit conversions:
Test MaterialMassCollision TimePhone Only (No Case)6.2 oz.0.01 secondsSilicone1.7 oz.0.05 secondsHard Plastic1.1 oz.0.03 secondsRubber3.2 oz.0.08 seconds
Directions
To complete your evaluation of various materials for
cell phone cases, you must create a case material evaluation report
that describes the motion and impact forces of several phone case
materials under evaluation.
Once you have described the relevant laws of motion, create force diagrams to model the motion for a phone dropped from a set height. You should include diagrams, with their respective force vectors, for each phone drop. In your diagrams, address the following:
Define the height you will be using for each phone
drop. As the researcher, you will choose a drop height of between 1
and 2 meters.
Using the provided mass of 6.2 oz, or by measuring the
mass of a personal cell phone, determine the mass you will be using
for your calculations. Remember to add the mass of the case
material.
In your diagram, show the direction and name of each
force on the cell phone both at the drop point and at the point of
collision with the ground.
Following the creation of the force diagram, use the information provided in your case specification document to calculate the velocity before impact and deceleration at impact. Remember that deceleration is represented as negative acceleration in force equations. In your calculations, assume a standard free-fall acceleration during the fall, and a velocity of 0 m/s after the impact. You should include calculations for the following scenarios:
A phone without a case
A phone with a silicone case
A phone with a hard plastic case
A phone with a rubber case
Using Newton’s second law, calculate the force
of impact for each scenario.
After you have completed your calculations, describe how force equations model the given scenario. In your description, address the following elements:
Velocity before impact
Acceleration
Force
Finally, using data from your analysis, recommend the best material for a cell phone case. In your recommendations, address the following elements:
Which of the trials results in the lowest force of
impact on the phone?
What considerations, in physics or otherwise, might
you have in recommending a material for a cell phone
case?

It is always a good idea to understand the "size" of units. The objects listed below are resting on a hard surface. Categorize each object according to the pressure it exerts on the surface when placed on their side with the largest area, which is the bottom. Assume that the bottom of each object is flat and that the pressure refers to that above atmospheric pressure (that is, gauge pressure). Use common sense estimates, make your own measurements and/or do a little research to determine the relevant dimensions and weights of the objects.

Tennis balls traveling at greater than 100 mph routinely bounce off tennis rackets. At some sufficiently high speed, however, the ball will break through the strings and keep going. The racket is a potential-energy barrier whose height is the energy of the slowest string-breaking ball. Suppose that a 100 g tennis ball traveling at 220mph is just sufficient to break the 2.0-mm-thick strings. Estimate the probability that a 150mph ball will tunnel through the racket without breaking the strings.
Give your answer as a power of 10 rather than a power of e.
