Part A:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_{1} = \sqrt{2gh}\] | The speed of the ball just after it first bounces off the plane at \(P_1\) is the same as it was before the bounce due to energy conservation. The initial speed when it contacts the plane is derived from potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. |
Part B:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}\] | The vertical displacement \(\Delta y\) as the ball travels in projectile motion is given by this equation. |
| 2 | \[\Delta x = \sqrt{2gh} \cdot t\] | The horizontal displacement \(\Delta x\) as the ball travels horizontally with initial velocity \(v_{x} = \sqrt{2gh}\). |
| 3 | \[-\frac{1}{2} g t^{2} = -\sqrt{2gh} \cdot t\] | The condition for the ball to land on the 45-degree inclined plane again is \(\Delta y = -\Delta x\). |
| 4 | \[t = \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g}\] | Solving the above equation for time \(t\), which is the time of flight between \(P_1\) and \(P_2\). |
Part C:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[x = \sqrt{2gh} \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g} = 4h\] | The horizontal position \(x\) relative to \(P_1\) at time \(t\). |
| 2 | \[y = -\frac{1}{2} g \left(\frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g}\right)^{2} = -4h\] | The vertical position \(y\) relative to \(P_1\) at time \(t\). |
| 3 | \[L = \sqrt{(4h)^{2} + (-4h)^{2}} = 4\sqrt{2}h\] | Calculate the distance \(L\) along the plane from \(P_1\) to \(P_2\). |
Part D:
| Step | Derivation/Formula | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \[v_{x} = \sqrt{2gh}\] | The horizontal velocity component \(v_{x}\) just before striking the plane at \(P_2\). |
| 2 | \[v_{y} = -g \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{2gh}}{g} = -2\sqrt{2gh}\] | The vertical velocity component \(v_{y}\) just before striking the plane at \(P_2\). |
| 3 | \[v_{2} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2gh})^{2} + (-2\sqrt{2gh})^{2}} = \sqrt{10gh}\] | Calculate the speed \(v_{2}\) of the ball just before it strikes the plane at \(P_2\). |
Just ask: "Help me solve this problem."
A rocket-powered hockey puck has a thrust of 4.40 N and a total mass of 1.00 kg . It is released from rest on a frictionless table, 2.10 m from the edge of a 2.10 m drop. The front of the rocket is pointed directly toward the edge. Assuming that the thrust of the rocket present for the entire time of travel, how far does the puck land from the base of the table?
A golfer hits her ball in a high arcing shot. Air resistance is negligible. When the ball is at its highest point, which of the following is true?
A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude 23 N on the free end of the crank handle on the ice-cream maker, and this end moves on a circular path of radius 0.25 m. The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every 1.7 s, what is the average power being expended?
A bald eagle in level flight at a height of \(135 \, \text{m}\) drops the fish it caught. If the eagle’s speed is \(25.0 \, \text{m/s}\) how far from the drop point will the fish land?
A rifle is used to shoot a target twice, using identical cartridges. The first time, the rifle is aimed parallel to the ground and directly at the center of the bull’s-eye. The bullet strikes the target at a distance of \( H_A \) below the center, however. The second time, the rifle is similarly aimed, but from twice the distance from the target. This time the bullet strikes the target at a distance of \( H_B \) below the center. Find the ratio \( H_B / H_A \).

General Metric Conversion Chart
Example of using unit analysis: Convert 5 kilometers to millimeters.
Start with the given measurement: [katex]\text{5 km}[/katex]
Use the conversion factors for kilometers to meters and meters to millimeters: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}}[/katex]
Perform the multiplication: [katex]\text{5 km} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{m}}{1 \, \text{km}} \times \frac{10^3 \, \text{mm}}{1 \, \text{m}} = 5 \times 10^3 \times 10^3 \, \text{mm}[/katex]
Simplify to get the final answer: [katex]\boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, \text{mm}}[/katex]
