Chapter 8, Problem 48RQ
A bail is thrown vertically into the air with an initial kinetic energy of 2,500 joules [J]. As the ball rises, it gradually loses kinetic energy as its potential energy increases. At the top of its flight, when its vertical speed goes to zero, all of the kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy. Assume that no energy is lost to frictional drag, etc. How high does tie ball rise in units of meters [m] if it has a mass of 5 kilograms [kg]?

A 10 kg block rests on an 30-degree inclined plane. The block is attached to a bucket by pulley system depicted below. The mass in the bucket is gradually increased by the addition of sand. At some point, the bucket will accumulate enough sand to set the block in motion.
The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.60 and 0.50 respectively.
Determine the mass of sand in [kg], including the bucket, needed to start the block moving.
Find the blocks acceleration, in [m/s2] up the plane?
The existing solution in the libarary is wrong. I know the correct answer to the first question is 20.39kg because half the weight of the sand is absorbed by the pulley system. Now what is the answer to the second question on the acceleration?
The force F (in newtons) of a hydraulic cylinder in a press is proportional to the square of sec x, where x is the distance (in meters) that the cylinder is extended in its cycle. The domain of F is [0, /3], and F(0) = 500. (a) Find F as a function of x. (b) Find the average force exerted by the press over the interval [0, /3]
A steel ball of mass 0.50 kg, moving with a velocity of 2.0 m/s [E], strikes a second ball of mass 0.30 kg, initially at rest. The collision is a glancing one, causing the moving ball to have a velocity of 1.5 m/s [30° N of E] after the collision. Determine the velocity of the second ball after the collision.
