A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.2 m/s at an angle of 51.0° to the horizontal.
(a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short (vertically)
of clearing the crossbar? (Enter a negative answer if it falls
short.)
Find the two initial velocity components, and from them and the
equations of motion, determine the time and height when the
football has traveled the required distance measured along the
ground. m
(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar (and cross above or beneath
it) while still rising or while falling?

Consider the following questions and a student's response to
each question (shown in italics). In each case, determine if the
student's answer is true or false.
Explain the reasons that the distance curve has the shape it
does.
The distance curve is an increasing curved line because the object is accelerating.
TrueFalse
The velocity curve is an increasing straight line. What does this
mean?
The velocity curve is a straight line because the object is moving with constant speed.
TrueFalse
Calculate the slope of the velocity curve. Do you recognize what
this is?
The slope of the velocity curve is the acceleration of the object and I calculated a slope of about 4.9 m/s2.
TrueFalse
The acceleration curve is a horizontal straight line. What does
this mean?
The acceleration curve is a horizontal line because the acceleration of the object does not change with time.
TrueFalse
Q2. A ball is released from the top of a cliff; it hits the ground 3.5 seconds later. Assuming the ball is a free falling object, how many meters is the cliff above the ground below? (Use
g = 9.8 m/s2.
Express your answer to one decimal point.)
Q3. The velocity vs. time curve of an object is an increasing straight line. You observe that when the time is 1 second, the velocity is equal to 4 m/s, and when the time is 4 seconds, the velocity is 28 m/s.What is the acceleration of the object? (Express your answer to one decimal point.)
Q4. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a modified Atwood machine if the mass of the cart is 8 kg and the hanging mass is 10 kg? (Use
g = 9.8 m/s2.
Express your answer to one decimal point.
Q5 In a completely frictionless Newton's Cradle toy, the change in speed of the balls coming in and those going out is zero. This is because the net force at the time of the collisions is equal to the weight of the number of balls interacting.

Black hole formation as seen by a distant observer
Given that matter can never cross the event horizon of a black hole (from an external observer point of view), if a black hole is "fed" with a large amount of matter then the new matter will eventually become extremely compressed, and presumably would be compressed below its Schwarzchild radius.
Would secondary black holes eventually form near the original black hole?
As an alternative one could also imagine that the combined mass of the original black hole and the new mass around the event horizon becomes contained within the Schwarzchild radius of both masses, and so a new event horizon forms, "swallowing" the new mass around the edge of the original black hole.
This mechanism would allow black holes to swallow mass in a
finite time.
Would this contradict GR predictions?

A spherically-symmetric planet is made of an empty inner core of
radius a surrounded by a thick shell of radius 2a, which is
surrounded by another thick shell of radius 3a. The inner shell has
a volume density that only depends on radius and is given by s1(r)

An atom of beryllium (m = 8.00 u) splits into two atoms of helium (m = 4.00 u) with the release of 92.2 keV of energy. Suppose the beryllium atom moved in the positive x direction and had a kinetic energy of 44.0 keV. One of the helium atoms is found to be moving in the positive x direction. Find the direction of motion of the second helium, and find the velocity of each of the two helium atoms. Solve this problem in two different ways: by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy; and by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the beryllium is moving.
(a) by direct application of conservation of momentum and energy
| velocity of the second helium (magnitude) | m/s |
(b) by applying the results if the original beryllium atom is at
rest to a frame of reference moving with the original beryllium
atom and then switching to the reference frame in which the
beryllium is moving
| velocity of the second helium (magnitude) | m/s |
