After leaving the end of a ski ramp, a ski jumper lands downhill at a point that is displaced 50.0 m horizontally from the end of the ramp. His velocity, just before landing, is 24.0 m/s and points in a direction 34.1 ° below the horizontal. Neglecting air resistance and any lift that he experiences while airborne, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of his initial velocity when he left the end of the ramp.

A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. The figure below shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago.

A small bouncy ball is dropped from the flat roof of an abandoned, and as-yet unrepurposed industrial building. The ball is observed to take 1/8 of a second to fall across a broken window with the total height of 1.2m. After the ball hits the ground, it bounces back upward and again traverses the window’s height in 1/8s of a second on its way toward the top of the roof. We thus assume that the ball loses no energy upon impact with the ground. If the time that the ball spends below the bottom of the window is 2s, answer the following questions.

a) What is the velocity of the ball at the top and bottom of the window, respectively, when the ball is on its way down?

(b) What is the time it takes the ball to fall from the top of the building to the top of the window?

(c) What is the height of the building?

A pilot flies her route in two straight-line segments. The displacement vector A for the first segment has a magnitude of 235 km and a direction 30.0o north of east. The displacement vector B for the second segment has a magnitude of 173 km and a direction due west. The resultant displacement vector is R = A + B and makes an angle θ with the direction due east. Using the component method, find (a) the magnitude of R and (b) the directional angle θ.

A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 159-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.58 m/s to the right relative to the plank. (Let the direction the girl is moving in be positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

(a) What is her velocity relative to the surface of ice?
m/s

(b) What is the velocity of the plank relative to the surface of ice?

A steel ball with a mass of 0.600 kg is dropped from an initial height of 2.80 m onto a metal plate. The steel ball bounces multiple times and on each bounce it returns to 75% of its previous maximum height.

A)What is the initial mechanical energy of the ball-Earth system, just after the ball is released from its initial height? Use the surface of the steel plate as the y = 0 reference point for the gravitational potential energy.

B)How much mechanical energy does the system lose during its first bounce?
