You are in the bleachers at the world series and a game winning baseball (mass 0.15 kg) approaches at 28 m/s. you want to catch it, but you don't want to hurt your had since that might impede your ability to do physics homework. to lessen the impact you slow it down with your hand over a displacement of 0.8 m as you catch it. what external work must you do on the baseball in j?

Awater slide of length l has a vertical drop of h. abby's mass is m. an average friction force of magnitude f opposes her motion. she starts down the slide at initial speed vi. use work-energy ideas to develop an expression for her speed at the bottom of the slide. then evaluate your result using unit analysis and limiting case analysis. express your answer in terms of the variables h, m, l, vi, f and appropriate constants. vf v f

In a game of pool, ball a is moving with a velocity v0 of magnitude v0 = 15 ft/s when it strikes balls b and c, which are at rest and aligned as shown. knowing that after the collision the three balls move in the directions indicated and assuming frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impact (that is, conservation of energy), determine the magnitudes of the velocities va, vb, and vc.

Find v1, the speed of the fluid in the left end of the main pipe. express your answer in terms of h1, h2, g, and either a1 and a2 or γ, which is equal to a1a2.
