6. A projectile whose mass is 10 g
is fired directly upward from the
ground level with an initial
velocity of 1000 m/s. Neglecting
the effects of air resistance,
what will be the speed of the
projectile when it impacts the
ground?
7. A baseball is thrown from a
horizontal plane with an initial
velocity of 100 m/s at an angle
of 30o above the horizontal. How
long after will the ball attains its
original vertical level?
8. A projectile is thrown with a
speed of 100 ft/sec in a direction
30o above the horizontal.
Determine the highest point to
which it rises.
9. A projectile with a muzzle
velocity of 550 m/s is fired from
a gun on top of a cliff 460 m
above sea level at a certain
angle with respect to the
horizontal. If the projectile hits
the ocean surface 49.2 seconds
after being fired, determine the
horizontal range of the projectile.
10. A projectile with an initial velocity
of 300 m/sec is fired down a hill
sloping at an angle of 30o.
Assuming the firing angle is 20o
from the horizontal reference,
determine the range of the
projectile down the hill.
11. A flywheel is revolving at 200
rpm. How long will it take to stop
the flywheel if it is decelerated at
a constant rate of 2 rad/s2?
12. A flywheel is rotating at a
constant rate of 2400 rpm. At
what constant rate in rad/s2
must its motion be retarded to
bring it to rest in 300
revolutions?
13. A 5 kg block is supported by a
cord and pulled upward with an
acceleration of 2 m/s2. What is
the tension in the cord in
Newtons.
