10. (40 pts.) Wimbledon Fortnight
This is a one-dimensional problem. A tennis ball with a mass of 45.0 grams is initially moving to the right at a speed of 32.2 m/s. A tennis player hits the ball with her racket and immediately afterward the ball is moving to the left at a speed of 37.3 m/s. How much work was done on the ball by the force of the racket?
11. (40 pts.) Rocket Power
A rocket with a mass of 2.20 kg is initially at rest on the ground. 10.0 s after being launched the rocket is traveling at a speed of 125 m/s. If the average power output of the engine is 3.45 kW, then how high above the ground is the rocket located 10.0 s after being launched? Ignore air resistance.
12. (40 pts.) Java Junkie
A clumsy professor knocks his coffee mug off the table. It falls straight down and hits the floor. The horizontal velocity of the mug just before it hits the floor is zero. When the mug hits the floor it breaks into four pieces which move horizontally on the floor. The mass of the first piece is m and its velocity is 10.0 m/s to the south. The mass of the second piece is 2m and its velocity is 10.0 m/s to the west. The mass of the third piece is 3m and its velocity is 10.0 m/s to the north. The mass of the fourth piece is 4m. Find the velocity of the fourth piece. Ignore friction and air resistance.
13. (40 pts.) Swimming at the Quarry
Students attending the summer session at the University of Indiana often go to the local quarry, which is partially filled with water, to swim. One such student runs to the right on flat, level ground to the edge of the quarry and jumps up and to the right. His initial velocity in polar form is (vo, θ), where vo is his initial speed and θ is the angle between his initial velocity and the horizontal. The vertical distance from the launch point down to the surface of the water is h. What is the range in this case? In other words, how far does he travel horizontally from the launch point to the point where he hits the water? Express your answer in terms of vo, θ, h and/or g, where g is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Ignore air resistance.
