(a) A 11.0 g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 120 g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay sticks to the block. After impact, the block slides 7.50 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between block and surface is 0.650, what was the speed of the cay (in m/s) immediately before impact? m/s (b) What If? Could static friction prevent the block from moving after being struck by the wad of clay if the collision took place in a time interval At - 0.100 s? Explain your answer. O Yes, a slightly larger coefficient of static friction could reasonably prevent the block from moving. O No, the coefficient of static friction that would be required is unrealistically large.

A 66.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 7.5 m/s. The goal of this problem is to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. (a) What are the interacting objects and how do they interact? This answer has not been graded yet. (b) Select the height at which the athlete's speed is 7.5 m/s as  y = 0.  What is her kinetic energy at this point? JWhat is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? J(c) What is her kinetic energy at maximum height? JWhat is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? J(d) Write a general equation for energy conservation in this case and solve for the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer. m(e) Write the general equation for energy conservation and solve for the velocity at half the maximum height. Substitute and obtain a numerical answer. m/s

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.60 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow - covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 46.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.10 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.

Gayle runs at a speed of 4.35 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 49.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.25 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s Need Help?

Gayle runs at a speed of 3.20 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 45.0 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.25 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s

Two bumper cars at the county fair are sliding toward one another (see figure below). Initially, bumper car 1 is traveling to the east at 5.62 m/s, and bumper car 2 is traveling 60.0° south of west at 10.00 m/s. After they collide, bumper car 1 is observed to be traveling to the west with a speed of 3.24 m/s. Friction is negligible between the cars and the ground.   (a) If the masses of bumper cars 1 and 2 are 588 kg and 633 kg respectively, what is the velocity of bumper car 2 immediately after the collision? (Express your answer in vector form. Enter your answer to at least three significant figures.)   (b) What is the kinetic energy lost in the collision?

A Box of mass 1.2 kg is dropped from a window. the box starts from rest (inital speed 0). Immediately before hitting the ground the box has a speed of 34.34 m/s. It takes the boxs 0.017s for the box to come to rest after hitting the ground. What is the average net force on the box while it comes to rest. Round to the nearest whole number.
