At the moment when a gunman releases a 8 kg shot, the shot is 24m above the ground and travelling at 15.0 m/s. It reaches a maximum height of 14.5 m above the ground and then falls to the ground. What was the total energy of the shot just as it stuck the ground? What was the kinetic energy of the shot as it left the hand? Potential energy of the shot as it left the hand relative to the ground?
Your grandmother enjoys creating pottery as a hobby. She uses a potter's wheel, which is a stone disk of radius R = 0.540 m and mass M = 100 kg. In operation, the wheel rotates at 45.0 rev/min. While the wheel is spinning, your grandmother works clay at the center of the wheel with her hands into a pot-shaped object with circular symmetry. When the correct shape is reached, she wants to stop the wheel in as short a time interval as possible, so that the shape of the pot is not further distorted by the rotation. She pushes continuously with a wet rag as hard as she can radially inward on the edge of the wheel and the wheel stops in 6.00 s. You would like to build a brake to stop the wheel in a shorter time interval, but you must determine the coefficient of friction (?k) between the rag and the wheel in order to design a better system. You determine that the maximum pressing force your grandmother can sustain for 6.00 s is 65.0 N. What If? If your grandmother instead chooses to press…

On a carnival ride, you stand next to a wall of a circular drum which spins around the center. When drum is spinning fast enough the floor drops away and you remain stuck to the wall and do not slide down to the floor until the drum slows down some. Assume a rider has a mass of 55.0 kg, and the drum has a radius of 6.00 m. The average linear speed that a rider is traveling with around the drum is 7.80 m/s. What is the normal force that the drum is exerting on the rider to keep her from sliding down to the floor?
