We can use the textbook results for head-on elastic collisions to analyze the recoil of the earth when a ball bounces off a wall embedded in the earth. suppose a professional baseball pitcher hurls a baseball ( 155 grams = 0.155 kg) with a speed of 103 miles per hour ( 45.3 m/s) at a wall, and the ball bounces back with little loss of kinetic energy. (a) what is the recoil speed of the earth (m = 6x10^24 kg)? v earth = m/s (b) calculate the recoil kinetic energy of the earth and compare to the kinetic energy of the baseball. the earth gets lots of momentum (twice the momentum of the baseball) but very little kinetic energy. k earth = j k baseball = j

An important dimensionless parameter concerned with very high-speed flow is the mach number, defined as v/c, where v is the speed of the object such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. for a projectile traveling at 1170 mph through air at 50 ˚f and standard atmospheric pressure, what is the value of the mach number?

Aballoon is rising vertically upwards at a velocity of 10m/s. when it is at a height of 45m from the ground, a parachute bails out from it. after 3s he opens his parachute and decelerates ata a constant rate 5m/s.when. (a) what was the height of the parachutist above the ground when he opened his parachute? (b)how far is the parachutist from the balloon at t=3s? (c)with what velocity does the parachutist hit the ground? (d)after how long does the parachutist hit the ground after his exist from the balloon?
