A ball of mass m is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed v0. (a) Find an expression for the maximum height reached by the ball in terms of v0 and g. hmax = (b) Using conservation of energy and the result of part (a), find the magnitude of the momentum of the ball at one-half its maximum height in terms of m and v0. p=

Drops of rain fall perpendicular to the roof of a parked car during a rainstorm. The drops strike the roof with a speed of 16 m/s, and the mass of rain per second striking the roof is 0.060 kg/s. (a) Assuming the drops come to rest after striking the roof, find the average force exerted by the rain on the roof. magnitude direction (b) If hailstones having the same mass as the raindrops fall on the roof at the same rate and with the same speed, how would the average force on the roof compare to that found in part (a)? (Assume the hailstones bounce back up off the roof.) The magnitude would be the same as in part (a). The magnitude would be four times that in part (a). The magnitude would be half that in part (a). The magnitude would be double that in part (a). N

A 68-kg fisherman in a 112-kg boat throws a package of mass m = 15 kg horizontally toward the right with a speed of vi = 4.1 m/s as in the figure below. Neglecting water resistance, and assuming the boat is at rest before the package is thrown, find the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown. magnitude direction m/s

A 68.0-kg person throws a 0.0410-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 27.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.0 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 2.20 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged? Disregard the friction between the skates and the ice. thrower catcher m/s m/s
