You throw a ball for your dog to fetch. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 2 m/s, at an angle of 30◦ to the horizontal, and from a height of 1.5 m above the ground. The mass of the ball is 0.5 kg. Neglect air resistance in what follows.

(a) What is the acceleration of the ball while it is in flight? Report it as a vector, that is, specify magnitude and direction (or vertical and horizontal components; if the latter, specify which direc- tion(s) you take as positive).
(b) What is the kinetic energy of the ball as it leaves your hand?
(c) Consider the Earth as being in the system. What is the potential energy of the Earth-ball system (1) as the ball leaves your hand, (2) at its maximum height, and (3) as it finally hits the ground?
(d) How high does the ball rise above the ground?
(e) What is the kinetic energy of the ball as it hits the ground?
(f) Now let the system be the ball alone. How much work does the Earth do on the ball while it is in flight? (from start to finish)
(g) What is the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground? Report it as a vector.
(h) How far away from you (horizontally) does the ball land?

The coulomb's law explains which of the following? select all the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the charge on each object. the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the distance separating them. the force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance separat coulomb's law is similar to newton's 2nd law. if the force between two objects is f and the charge on both objects is doubled, the new force between the would now be 2f. if the force between two objects is 2f and the distance separating them is doubled, the new force between the objects would now o the be zf.
