Each problem is worth 10 points.
1. A ball is thrown from the ground into the air,
reaching a maximum height of 115 m, and traveling
a horizontal distance of 245 m before it hits the
ground. Determine the speed and direction with
which the ball was thrown, and-the amount of time
it was in the air.
+ 2. Acar a bus travel along two intersecting roads, as
Ns shown here. is traveling at 30 m/s due north, and
Covered the bus is traveling at 20 Tn/s-at 35° north of east. At t= 0,
the bus is at the intersection, while ar is 75 m tothe
Fe | { south of the intersection. (a) Find the veloct en
L co 3 (You should take no:
firection of the +x axis.) (b) Find the
¢ Car relative to the bus as a function of
‘expressed in unit-vector notation.

3. In the diagram, m, = 2.0 kg and m, = 3.0kg. A coefficient of kinetic friction w=
0.30 exists between both blocks and the surfaces. The pulley is massless and
frictionless. Find the acceleration of the masses, and the tension in the rope.
4. (a) A roller coaster car travels at 25.0 m/s at the bottom of a loop,
where the radius of curvature is 65.0 m. An 85.0 kg man is in
the car, and sitting on a scale. What does the scale read? (b)
Suppose the car slows to 15.0 m/s at the top, and the scale now
reads an amount equal to the man’s weight. What must be the
radius of curvature of the track at the top?
