6.

A practicing archer fires and arrow at 80 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. A short time later, they fire a second arrow at 60 m/s at an angle of 60°. What is the difference in the flight distance between the two arrows in metres?

(a)  

7.

Alice and Bob are ice-skating together. Alice skates at 4m/s EAST while Bob, who is new at ice-skating, travels at 2.5m/s WEST. Bob loses control and skates into Alice, and they grab hold of each other to avoid falling to the ground. Given Alice weighs 55kg and Bob weights 70kg:

a) Draw diagrams to represent Alice and Bob's motion before and after the collision.

b) What type of collision is this?

c) Find Alice and Bob's final velocity

(a)  

8.

A crane from a building site lifts a 250 kg steel girder 35 m into the air.

a) Calculate the potential energy gained by the girder.

b) A cable holding the girder breaks while it is 35 m above ground. What is the velocity of the girder as it hits the ground?

c) How long does it take to reach the ground?

d) If the crane takes 18 seconds to lift the girder to its max height, calculate the power used for the lifting.

(a)  

9.

Lee is flying a 14300 kg Boeing-747 airplane at an altitude of 497 m and a velocity of 214 km/h. Calculate the total mechanical energy fo the plane and express your answer in SI units.

(a)  

10.

A 5 kg block is pulled along a ramp by a force F = 70 N as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the block and ramp is μk= 0.4 . what is the acceleration of the block?

(a)  

11.

A 0.675 kg cart is moving at 0.863 m/s to the right and collides ELASTICALLY with a 0.35 kg cart initially at rest. The 0.35 kg cart then moves off rapidly and compresses a spring before the 0.675kg cart can catch it again.

a) At the instant the 0.35kg cart comes to rest, how much energy is stored in the spring (in Joules)?

b) Briefly evaluate the reasonableness of your solution.

(a)
