A ball of mass is dropped from rest from a height and collides elastically with the floor, rebounding to its original height. What is the magnitude of the average force applied by the floor on the ball during the time the ball is in contact with the floor?
It cannot be determined without knowing the length of time that the ball is in contact with the floor.

Cart is traveling east when it collides with cart , which is traveling north. Cart has a mass of 3.05 kg, and cart has a mass of 2.10 kg. The two carts travel together as a single object on a horizontal surface at an angle relative to due east, as shown above.
In one trial, the initial speed of cart A is 2.5 m/s and the initial speed of cart is 1.5 m/s. The angle relative to east that the carts travel after the collision is most nearly

Three identical spheres are thrown from the same height above the ground. Sphere X is thrown vertically up, sphere Y is thrown horizontally, and sphere Z is thrown vertically down, as shown in figures 1, 2, and 3 above, respectively. All three spheres are thrown with the same speed. Air resistance is negligible.
Assume the spheres collide elastically with the ground. Which of the following ranks the spheres based on the rebound height after they collide with the ground?
X>Y>Z
Y > (X = Z)
Z > Y > X
( X = Z) > Y
(X = Z) > Y

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles associated with the force is given by the equation , where r is the distance between the two particles and is a positive constant. At time t = 0, particle A is located at x = 2D with an initial speed of to the left, and particle B is at rest at the origin, as shown in the figure above.
At time , particle A is observed to be traveling with speed to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles associated with the force is given by the equation U = β / r 2 , where r is the distance between the two particles and β is a positive constant. At time t = 0, particle A is located at x = 2D with an initial speed of v0 to the left, and particle B is at rest at the origin, as shown in the figure above.
Which of the following equations could be used to find rMIN, the minimum distance between the masses as particle A approaches particle B?

A ball of mass m and velocity v contacts a hard surface at a 45° angle and bounces off the surface also at a 45° angle and at speed v, as shown in situation 1. Also shown is the force vector F representing the force exerted by the surface on the ball. Situation 2 shows the same ball moving with the same velocity and contacts a soft surface. The time of contact is greater with the soft surface than the hard surface. The ball bounces off the soft surface at an angle of 30° and with speed v2<v. Which of the following vectors could represent the force exerted on the ball in situation 2.
