Chapter 9, Problem 77P
A 114-g Frisbee is lodged on a tree branch 7.65 m above the ground. To free it, you lob a 240-g dirt clod vertically upward. The dirt leaves your hand at a point 1.23 m above the ground, moving at 17.7 m/s. It sticks to the Frisbee. Find (a) the maximum height reached by the Frisbee-dirt combination and (b) the speed with which the combination hits the ground.

In a baseball game, one of the players graps the ball and lessens the influence of the ball by
moving his hand back. The ball touches the player's hand at a speed of 140.4 km/h in the
horizontal direction. The ball is 152 gr. The player moves his hand back with an average speed
of 8 m/s over 14 cm in the horizontal direction. In this way, the player has caused the ball to
stop. Calculate the average impulsive force applied on the hand of the player.
