If a ball is dropped from a height of 2 meters then how fast is it moving when it hits the
ground?
A 120 kg running back moving at 9 meters/second collides with a stationary 50
kg referee. Assuming that they both have the same speed and direction after
the collision, how fast is the running back moving after the collision? Assume
that no forces are exerted on the ground during the collision.
Position Mass
(meters) (kg)
Chuck Norris 12 90
Tyrion Lannister 17 40
Where is the center of mass?
Chuck Norris catches a cannonball with a mass of 15 kg and a speed of 400 m/s.
Chuck Norris has a mass of 120 kg. What is Chuck's recoil velocity?
For a car going around a corner,
Radius of curvature = 9 meters
Tire coefficient of friction = .2 (Rain)
Car mass = 1100 kg
What is the maximum cornering speed?
Chuck Norris has a mass of 110 kg and a jet pack that delivers a force of
2300 Newtons. What is his maximum vertical acceleration?
Tatooine has a radius of 6000 km and the length of a day is 10 hours. What is
the rotation speed of the equator and what is the centripetal acceleration?
Chuck Norris jumps from an airplane, free-falls until he reaches terminal
velocity, and then opens a parachute. After opening the parachute he decreases speed
until he reaches a new terminal velocity as determined by the parachute.
Draw a qualitative graph of the position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time.
If you run up a flight of stairs that is 15 meters tall in 7 seconds and you have a mass
of 70 kg, what is the power in Watts?
Ant man is standing on the top of a bowling ball with a radius of 217 and rolling at
8 m/s. What does he experience for the centripetal acceleration?
The Earth orbits the sun with a speed of 30 km/s and the gravitational constant
is 6.67*1011 Newton meters2 / kg2. Calculate the mass of the sun.
If a car starts from rest and accelerates at 14 m/s2 for 7 seconds, how far does it
go?
