A tennis ball of mass (75 g) is placed on top of a basketball of mass (590 g), both balls are freed from rest and at the same time fall to a height of (1.2 m) as shown in the figure. Calculate the speed of the basketball when it reaches the ground. Assuming that the collision is elastic with the ground, calculate the height that the tennis ball reaches.

A block of mass m2 is placed on a frictionless table with another block m3 placed on top of it. The surface between m2 and m3 has a coefficient of static friction μs. The block m2 is connected with another block m1 by a massless rope which wraps around a massless pulley as shown in the right figure. The rope does NOT slip over the pulley when moving. The block m1 is connected with a spring of force constant k whose other end is fixed to the ground. The spring is stretched with an amount h away from its equilibrium point and the whole system is released from rest. (a) Find the minimum value of μs such that the block m3 can remain on block m2 without falling off. (b) After we release the system, what is the speed of m1 when the spring returns to its equilibrium position?

A ball of mass m1 = 1.00 kg swings downward with an initial speed of v0 = 7.40 m/s at a height h = 32.0 cm and strikes a ball of mass m2 = 3.70 kg that is at rest as shown in the figure. (a) Calculate the speed of the m1 just before the impact. 4.0m/s (b) Assuming the collision is perfectly inelastic, determine the height the balls reach after the collision. 4.0cm (c) Calculate the magnitude of the energy lost during the collision. 4.00 J

Starting from rest, a small block of mass m = 0.25 kg slides down an incline from a height h = 1.2 m. As it slides down, the block experiences a force of kinetic friction of constant magnitude fk = 2.1 N only over a distance L = 0.2 m, as shown in the figure. The incline is frictionless everywhere else. After reaching the bottom of the incline, the block strikes a larger block of mass M = 1.8 kg that is attached to a spring of spring constant k = 6.5 N/m. The large block was originally at rest. The blocks stick together upon impact and travel together on the frictionless horizontal surface. Assume that both blocks are subject to the regular force of gravity (g = 9.80665 m/s2). (a) Determine the speed of the small block right before it collides with the larger block. Answer: m/s (b) Determine the speed of the combination of the two blocks immediately after the collision. Answer: m/s (c) Determine the compression of the spring when the combination of the two blocks comes to rest. Answer: m
