1. Two blocks with different mass are attached to either end of a light rope that passes over a light,
frictionless pulley that is suspended from the ceiling. The masses are released from rest, and the
more massive one starts to descend. After this block has descended 1.20 m, its speed is 3.00 m/s. If
the total mass of the two blocks is 15.0 kg, what is the mass of each block?
7.40 law of conservation of energy
2. A soccer ball has a mass of 0.40 kg. Initially, it is moving to the left at 20 m/s, but when it is
kicked and give3n a velocity at 45 upward and to the right, with a magnitude of 30 m/s. Find the
impulse of the net force and the average net force, assuming a collision time t = 0.010s.
