PROBLEMS (T/A) Place all answers on blank paper. Box your final answers.
1A. A ball rolls along the floor, up a sloping board, and then back down the board and across the floor again. The graph below represents this motion. (a) At what time is the ball at its highest point? (b) What was the acceleration when the ball was (i) rolling up the board, (ii) rolling down the board, and (iii) at rest at the top point? (c) How far up the board did the ball go? (d) What was the total displacement of the ball over the 9.0 s trip?

1B. The below describes the motion of a capsule carried on a rocket fired vertically upward. The rocket ejected the capsule at its highest point. The capsule fell freely with the rocket until its parachute opened at t = 300 s. (a) At what time did the rocket reach its highest altitude? (b) What was the maximum altitude of the rocket? (c) What was the acceleration of the rocket during (i) the first stage and (ii) the second stage? (d) What was the average acceleration of the capsule during the interval t = 100 s to t = 300 s? (e) What was happening during the period t = 300 s to t = 400 s? (f) What was the terminal velocity of the capsule just before splashdown?

2. Suppose that you are called by a lawyer to give advice concerning the physics involved in one of her cases. The question is whether a driver was exceeding the speed limit of 50 km/h before he made an emergency stop, with brakes locked and wheels slid ing. The length of the skid marks on the road was 5.85 m. A police officer made the reasonable assumption that the maximum deceleration would not exceed that of gravity. On the basis of the evidence, was the driver exceeding the speed limit before the brakes were applied? 3A. A student is determined to test the law of gravity for himself. He walks off a skyscraper 320 m high, stopwatch in hand, and starts his free fall (zero initial velocity). Five seconds later, Superman arrives at the scene and dives off the roof to save the student. What must Supermans initial velocity be in order to catch the student just before the student reaches the ground? (Assume that Supermans acceleration is that of any freely falling body (i.e., g = 9.8 m/s2.)
Choose 1

3B. An efficient parcel service wants to speed up its deliveries by dropping parcels into moving trucks. An employee is positioned on an overpass directly above a straight, level road to drop the parcels into the trucks at just the right time. One day, a delivery truck starts from rest and drives along the road with a constant acceleration of . A package is released at the correct

instant to land in the truck. If the overpass was 30 m above the truck and the truck started from a position 100 m from the point of impact, how long after the truck started did the employee wait before dropping the parcel? 4. A circus clown is fired from a cannon into a net that is situated 2.0 m above the cannon and some distance from it. The cannon is elevated at 50.0 to the horizontal and the clowns speed at launch is 15 m/s. See the diagram below.

(a) Find the horizontal distance from the cannon where the net needs to placed in order for the clown to land in it. (b) Calculate the clowns velocity as he lands in the net.
