A baseball of mass m1 = 0.27 kg is thrown at another ball hanging from the ceiling by a length of string L = 1.05 m. The second ball m2 = 0.77 kg is initially at rest while the baseball has an initial horizontal velocity of V1 = 3.5 m/s. After the collision the first baseball falls straight down (no horizontal velocity). (a) Select an expression for the magnitude of the closest distance from the ceiling the second ball will reach d. (b) What is the angle that the string makes with the vertical at the highest point of travel in degrees?

A baseball with mass of 0.16 kg is batted into the air. Its initial speed is 37.7 m/s, directed at an angle 30 degrees above the horizontal. After 0.10 seconds, what is the horizontal component of the ball's velocity (in m/s)?
The three balls in the overhead are identical. Balls 2 and 3 touch each other and are aligned perpendicular to the path of ball 1. The velocity of ball 1 has magnitude v0 = 10 m/s and is directed at the contact point of balls 1 and 2. After the collision, what are the (a) speed and (b) direction of the velocity of ball 2, the (c) speed and (d) direction of the velocity of ball 3, and the (e) speed and (f) direction of the velocity of ball 1? (Hint:With friction absent, each impulse is directed along the line connecting the centers of the colliding balls, normal to the colliding surfaces.)

A bartender slides a beer mug at 1.0 m/s towards a customer at the end of a frictionless bar that is 2.0 m tall. The customer makes a grab for the mug and misses, and the mug sails off the end of the bar. (a) How far away from the end of the bar does the mug hit the floor?

Georgia, standing on the back of the pick-up truck, wants to throw her last piece of balut to her mortal enemy, Emma. before the truck started moving, the two women are separated by a distance of 2 m. For two seconds, the truck uniformly accelerated until it reached a velocity of 4 m/s which it then maintained. With hatred, Georgia throws the last piece of balut with a velocity of 12.5 m/s at an angle of 40° from horizontal, measured relative to the truck. If she makes the throw 2.8 seconds after the truck started moving, will she be able to hit Emma? Note that Emma is at rest due to exhaustion from their earlier fight and she cannot dodge the balut. Set your origin at point A. Neglect air resistance.

In a game of curling, a collision occurs between two stones of equal mass. The object stone is initially at rest. After the collision, the stone that is thrown hasa speed of 0.56m/s in some direction, represented by q. The object stone acquires a velocity vf2= 0.42m/s at an angle of f= 30.0o from the original direction of motion of the thrown stone. Determine the initial velocity of the thrown stone.
