- Two blocks of masses m, = 2.30 kg and m, = 4.60 kg are each released from rest at a height of h = 4.20 m on a frictionless track, as shown in the figure below, and undergo an elastic head-on collision. (Let the positive direction point to the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) (a) Determine the velocity of each block just before the collision. V = m/s m/s (b) Determine the velocity of each block immediately after the collision. m/s V2 = m/s (c) Determine the maximum heights to which m, and m, rise after the collision.

- A batter hits the baseball A with an initial velocity of vo = 91 ft/sec directly toward fielder B at an angle of 38° to the horizontal; the initial position of the ball is 2.4 ft above ground level. Fielder B requires 0.24 sec to judge where the ball should be caught and begins moving to that position with constant speed. Because of great experience, fielder B chooses his running speed so that he arrives at the "catch position" simultaneously with the baseball. The catch position is the field location at which the ball altitude is 7.9 ft. Determine the velocity of the ball relative to the fielder at the instant the catch is made.

What was the TOTAL final velocity of the golf ball directly before it hit the ground?arrow_forwardOn a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.30 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 48.4 m/s at an angle of 32.7 ° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee.
