Question 3 b)

If

the softball and bat are in contact for 10 ms, what is the average force that

the bat exerts on the ball?

Give your answer to the nearest whole number in

units of N. Write your answer without units i.e., 12 N as 12.

Question 2 d)

This

time, a curler picks up a ‘joke’ stone weighing 40 kg. They launch it at the

same speed as before (3.5 m/s) and again, there is no extra sweeping. Which one

of the following is true?

Question 3 a)

A

fastpitch softball player swings her 600 g bat with a speed of 25 m/s at the

time of impact with the ball. She hits a 170 g softball that was approaching

her at a speed of 30 m/s. The ball rebounds at 41 m/s.

How

fast is her bat moving immediately after the impact? (Ignore the interaction

with her hand for the duration of the collision.)

Give your answer to 1 decimal

place in units of m/s. Write your answer without units i.e., 12.6 m/s as 12.6.

Question 2 c)

A

20 kg stone is launched with a speed of 3.5 m/s and travels 42 m before stopping

(without any team members sweeping). What is the magnitude of the friction

force on the stone? Assume constant acceleration. Give your answer to one

decimal place in Newtons. Write your answer without units i.e., 1.2 N as 1.2.

Question 2 a)

Curling

is a winter sport played on ice where two teams of four players each take turns

sliding heavy granite stones towards a target area called the

"house." Team members are able to sweep the ice in front of the stone

to adjust its speed and trajectory although they are forbidden from touching

the stone. Expert and careful sweeping can lengthen the travel of the stone by

around 3 m.

A

curler pushes a 20 kg stone from rest to a speed of 3.5 m/s over a time of 2.0

s. Ignoring the force of friction (for now) and assuming a constant

acceleration, how much force must the curler apply to the stone to bring it up

to speed? Give your answer in whole numbers in Newtons. Write your answer

without units i.e., 12 N as 12.

When

direction of the tension force on the tree?

Question 1 a)

An unlucky driver has become bogged in the mud near a tree. Fortunately,

they find a rope in their car and attach it to the tree and car, and they pull on

the rope as shown in the picture. Also shown is the resulting force diagram,

demonstrating why the technique works: the car experiences a very large force

with a relatively small ‘tug’ applied by the driver.

Image failed to load: A view from above of a tree at left connected to a car at right via a rope. A man is in the middle, pulling North on the rope

The

sum of the three forces acting on the centre point of the rope is assumed to be

zero because:
