A lab technician uses a cylindrical projectile launcher to throw rubber spheres horizontally at a nearby vertical target. Using a radar gun, she establishes that a sphere with a mass of 0.150 kg and diameter of 6.00 cm has its speed reduced by 10% due to air resistance when the initial speed is of 46.0 m/s as it travels from the launch site to the target a distance of 18.0 m away. Due to the air resistance, a change in temperature occurs initially only for the air in a cylinder equal to the volume of air swept out by the sphere. Determine the maximum possible temperature change (in °C) for this air when the temperature of the air is 20.0°C. To find the greatest possible temperature change, you may make the following assumptions: air has a molar specific heat of C₁ = (-)R, an equivalent molar mass of 28.9 g/mol, and a density of 1.20 kg/m³. °C

An 210kg drone hits the ground at 311km/h and penetrates to a depth of 81.0cm.What was the force the ground exerted on the drone?
A container of mass 4 kg which holds water of mass 10 kg is full and is lifted vertically starting from the ground with a rope 50 m long and at a constant speed. The tank has a hole in the bottom from which water flows at a constant rate and at the end of the 50 m route it has just emptied. Of each meter of rope has a mass of 0.1 kg, find the total work consumed for lifting the container and the rope. It is given that the acceleration of gravity is 10m / sec 2.

An astronaut lands on a newly-discovered planet (without an atmosphere). As an experiment, she throws vertically upwards a pure vanadium sphere of radius 2.0 cm and density 5.5 × 103 kg m3 with an initial speed of 3.0 ms 1. The point of release is 1.2 m above the ground. She observes the sphere to travel 4.8 m before it starts falling to the ground. Calculate the kinetic energy of the projectile just as it hits the ground.
A block of mass m is moving with speed v along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, the spring is compressed a maximum distance of x. What is the spring constant k?
A 42 client with a body mass of 74 kg is interested in jogging on the treadmill as their primary means of exercise, while they listen to their "pump-up" music playlist that lasts exactly 28 minutes. To be sure they get the recommended volume of exercise each week, you'd like to have your client burn 350 kcal in each jogging session. To achieve this, what should your client set as the treadmill speed while running, in miles per hour?
A cylindrical tank, shown in the figure, has height 8 m and radius 4 m. Suppose the water tank is half-full of water. Determine the work required to empty the tank by pumping the water to a level 6 m above the top of the tank.

At 11:00 a.m. on September 7, 2001, more than one million British schoolchildren jumped up and down for one minute to simulate an earthquake. (a) Find the energy stored in the children’s bodies that was converted into internal energy in the ground and their bodies and propagated into the ground by seismic waves during the experiment. Assume 1 050 000 children of average mass 36.0 kg jumped 12 times each, raising their centers of mass by 25.0 cm each time and briefly resting between one jump and the next. (b) Of the energy that propagated into the ground, most produced high-frequency “microtremor” vibrations that were rapidly damped and did not travel far. Assume 0.01% of the total energy was carried away by long-range seismic waves. The magnitude of an earthquake on the Richter scale is given by M = (log E - 4.8)/(1.5)where E is the seismic wave energy in joules. According to this model, what was the magnitude of the demonstration quake?

A high-carbon steel with a fully pearlitic microstructure was used to form a high-strength bolt (H.-C. Lee et al., J. Mater. Proc. Tech. 211, 1044 (2011)). It was found that the bolt head had an average interlamellar spacing of 257 nm whereas the average spacing in the body of the bolt was 134 nm. Assuming that dislocation pileup is the primary mechanism responsible for the strength of this alloy, what ratio of strength (or hardness) might be expected in the head and body of the bolt?
