Chapter 8, Problem 28AP
Why is the following situation impossible? A softball pitcher has a strange technique: she begins with her hand at rest at the highest point she can reach and then quickly rotates her arm backward so that the ball moves through a half-circle path. She releases the ball when her hand reaches the bottom of the path. The pitcher maintains a component of force on the 0.180-kg ball of constant magnitude 12.0 N in the direction of motion around the complete path. As the ball arrives at the bottom of the path, it leaves her hand with a speed of 25.0 m/s.

A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. Thecoefficients of static and kinetic friction between the puck and the ramp are μs = 0.40 andμk = 0.30, and the puck’s initial velocity at the base is 3.8 m/s parallel to the sloping surfaceof the ramp. What speed does the puck have when it slides back down to its starting point?
Starting from rest, a 30.6 kg child rides a 8.50 kg sled down a frictionless ski slope. At the bottom of the hill, her speed is 6.4 m/s. If the slope makes an angle of 15.1° with respect to the horizontal, how far along the hill did she slide on her sled?
At the start of a race, a four-man bobsled team pushes their sled as fast as they can along a 50 m flat starting stretch. The net force that the four men together apply to the 325 kg bobsled is 93.484 N directed at 15 degrees below the horizontal. As they push, 60 N of kinetic friction opposes them. What is the speed of the sled right before the team jumps on the sled?

- Current Attempt in Progress The figure shows a cold package of hot dogs sliding rightward across a frictionless floor through a distance d = 22.0 cm while three forces act on the package. Two of them are horizontal and have the magnitudes F₁ = 8.0 N and F₂ = 2.0 N; the third is angled down by = 60.0° and has the magnitude F3 = 7.0 N. (a) For the 22.0 cm displacement, what is the net work done on the package by the three applied forces, the gravitational force on the package, and the normal force on the package?
