A ball is attached to a cord of length L, which is tied to a frame attached to a truck bed as shown in figure (a), below. The ball-truck system is initially traveling to the right at constant speed vi, with the cord vertical. The truck suddenly stops when it undergoes an inelastic collision with a low wall as shown in figure (b), below. The suspended ball swings through an angle θ. a a (i) b (i) (a) Show that the original speed of the truck can be computed from vi = 2 gL(1−cos⁡(θ)).

The golfer shown in the figure above has a tall tree (obstacle) in the path of his goal. The tree is 80 m away from the golfer and is 12 m tall. a) Given that the golfer hits the ball at an initial velocity of 45 m/s, at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal, determine if the ball would clear the tree. b) A second golfer is faced with a similar challenge, but he instead hits the ball at an initial angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. Determine the minimum initial velocity that the second golfer must hit the ball to ensure that the ball just clears the tree. c) Calculate the velocity and corresponding angle to the horizontal at the point where the second golfer's ball just clears the tree.
