Question
To test the impact performance of a 10 cm thick gymnastics mat, a 20 kg cylindrical mass isdropped onto the mat from a height of 1 m above the mat. During the impact, the cylinder’s vertical velocity reaches zero at the instant the mat has compressed to only 4 cm thick.
a. How much kinetic energy does the cylinder have at the instant just before it contacts the mat?
b. What average vertical force does the mat exert on the cylinder during the impact, from contact until the cylinder’s vertical velocity is zero?

The ball leaves your hand 1.2 meters above the ground. It moves upwards, stops, and then goes all the way down until it hits the ground (below the height you threw from).A. Use conservation of energy (and not the kinematics equations) to calculate the velocity of the ball the instant before it hits the ground.arrow_forward2.) A 1000 kg boat is towed in the water by a cable in a straight line. The Tension in the cable is 3,000N. The coefficient of friction between the boat and the water is µ = 0.2. It starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 5m/s after some unknown distance. Angles must be shown in your work calculations. a.) What is the final kinetic energy of the boat? b.) Using the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem, find the unknown distance.arrow_forward
- A 2.46 kg block moves along a frictionless surface with a speed of 7.83 m/s when it encounters a rough shallow hill, whose sides have a length of l=5.21 m. The hill is low enough so that the block can make it over the hill. Because the surface of the hill is rough (shown in orange in the figure), the block experiences a frictional force of 2.23 N while on the hill. a) What is the speed of the block after it traverses the hill?arrow_forwardYou are working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar (which simulates the oars) toward you, it moves a distance of 1.20 m in a time of 1.80 s.

What is the magnitude of the force that you exert on the handle? i 3arrow_forwardThe potential energy of an interaction is given by U(x)=ax², where a = +6.4 J/m². Initial speed of a 0.79-kg object in this system is 2.63 m/s at x = 0. A. How far does the object travel before it reaches a speed of v = 0? Express your answer with the appropriate units. B. Does your answer in the previous part depend on whether the object is traveling in the positive or negative direction? Yes, the answer in the previous part is for the object traveling in the negative x� direction, the distance for the object traveling in the positive x� direction is greater than the obtained result. Yes, the answer in the previous part is for the object traveling in the positive x� direction, the distance for the object traveling in the negative x� direction is greater than the obtained result. No, it does not depend on whether the object is traveling in the positive or negative x� direction.arrow_forward
