Because the weather is sunny, Dr. Shaw has allowed you to do your next labexperiment outside, instead of staying indoors. And, since it is summer, rather thandropping weights, she is allowing you to drop water balloons, but only if you promiseto clean up the balloon fragments when you are done.For one data trial, you release a water balloon of mass 283 g from the top of aStanley Hall onto the sidewalk below. If the balloon is traveling at 11.22 m/s when itstrikes your lab partner's head (1.44 m above the sidewalk) how tall is Stanley Hall?Your Answer:Answer

Airplane flight recorders must be able to survive catastrophic crashes. Therefore, they are typically encased in crash-resistant steel or titanium boxes that are subjected to rigorous testing. One of the tests is an impact shock test, in which the box must survive being thrown at high speeds against a barrier. A 43-kg box is thrown at a speed of 340 m/s and is brought to a halt in a collision that lasts for a time of 6.6 ms. What is the magnitude of the average net force that acts on the box during the collision?
Pr4. A vertical spring of stiffness k is atta- ched to the top of a block of mass m. At t = 0 the top end of the initially unstretched spring is started to be pulled upwards with constant velo- city v, as it can be seen in the figure. When does the speed of the body become maximal first, and what is this maximal value?
An engineer at NASA is investigating the impact of meteorites on planets. He performs experiments in a vacuum by dropping metal spheres of different sizes and different heights above a horizontal bed of sand. In one experiment, a metal sphere of mass 0.1 kg is dropped from a height of 1.2 m. What is the velocity?
You have been asked to design a "ballistic spring system" to measure the speed of bullets. A spring whose spring constant is k is suspended from the ceiling. A block of mass M hangs from the spring. A bullet of mass m is fired vertically upward into the bottom of the block and stops in the block. The spring's maximum compression d is measured. Find an expression for the bulletť's speed vg in terms of m, M, k, and d. What was the speed of a 10 g bullet if the block's mass is 2.0 kg and if the spring, with k = 50 N/m, was compressed by 45 cm?

You wake up one morning to find yourself in a strange room with opaque walls, and no visible doors or windows. You decide to do some experiments to find out more about your strange situation. Your own body mass is 79.5 kg. You pick up an object and drop it from rest, starting at a height of 1.62 meters above the floor, and it hits the floor 0.345 seconds later. You can ignore air resistance. Based on the outcome of this experiment, when you step on the scale provided for you, what weight will it register for your body? a. 2,164 N b. 779.9 N c. 1,082 N d. 1,443 N

Block A has a mass mA and is attached to a spring having a stiffness k and an unstretched length l0. If another block B, having a mass mB, is pressed against A so that the spring deforms a distance d, determine the distance both blocks slide on the smooth surface before they begin to separate. What is their velocity at this instance?

The puffer fish (tetradontiade) can employ a defense mechanism whereby it fills its stomach with water until the fish is almost spherical in shape. The shape, in conjunction with its external spines, are a significant deterrent to predators. Suppose that a puffer fish takes in water until its mass has increased by f = 1.89 times its initial mass. In this state, and initially at rest, the puffer fish expels the water with a speed s in one direction, while the fish recoils in the opposite direction at a speed v. For this problem neglect the drag-force effects of the surrounding ocean water. Write an expression for v/s in terms of f.
