A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.3 m/s from a height of 27 meters above the ground. Then, 0.5 seconds after the red ball is thrown, a blue ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 23.9 m/s, from a height of 0.7 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2.

M, a solid cylinder (M=1.35 kg, R=0.117 m) pivots on a thin, fixed, frictionless bearing. A string wrapped around the cylinder pulls downward with a force F which equals the weight of a 0.670 kg mass, i.e., F = 6.573 N. Calculate the angular acceleration of the cylinder. Tries 0/10 If instead of the force F an actual mass m = 0.670 kg is hung from the string, find the angular acceleration of the cylinder. Tries 0/10 How far does m travel downward between 0.450 s and 0.650 s after the motion begins? Tries 0/10 The cylinder is changed to one with the same mass and radius, but a different moment of inertia. Starting from rest, the mass now moves a distance 0.470 m in a time of 0.510 s. Find Icm of the new cylinder.

Church organs have a set of pipes with different lengths. With
those different pipes organs can produce sounds over a wide range
of frequencies. If the lowest frequency produced by an organ is
31.6 Hz, and the highest frequency is 1.80 kHz, then what is the
shortest possible wavelength of sound the organ can produce? Assume
that the speed of sound is 336 m/s.
B) What is the longest possible sound wavelength
the organ can produce?

The small spherical planet called "Glob" has a mass of 6.50×1018 kg and a radius of 5.60×104 m. An astronaut on the surface of Glob throws a rock straight up. The rock reaches a maximum height of 1.64×103 m, above the surface of the planet, before it falls back down.
-What was the initial speed of the rock as it left the
astronaut's hand? (Glob has no atmosphere, so no energy is lost to
air friction. G = 6.67×10-11
Nm2/kg2.)
(in m/s)
-A 33.0 kg satellite is in a circular orbit with a radius of
1.40×105 m around the planet Glob. Calculate the speed
of the satellite.
