Kramer goes bowling and decides to employ the force of gravity to "pick up a spare." He rolls the 6.50 kg bowling ball very slowly so that it comes to rest a center-to-center distance of 0.245 m from the one remaining 2.00 kg bowling pin. Treat both the ball and the pin as point objects, and determine the magnitude of the force of gravity ?⃗ grav between them.
Your friend’s car has broken down, so you volunteer to push it with your own car to the nearestrepair shop, which is 2.0 km away. You carefully move your car so that the bumpers of the two carsare in contact. You then slowly accelerate to a speed of 2.5 m/s over the course of 1.0 min. The massof your friend’s car is 1.2 x 10 ^3 kg. Assume negligible friction.a) Calculate the normal force between the two bumpers. b) You then maintain a speed of 2.5 m/s. How long does it take you to reach the repair shop? c) Sketch the shape of a velocity time graph for the entire motion. d) Sketch the shape of a position time graph for the entire motion.

The 215-kg lunar lander is descending onto the moon's surface with a velocity of 4.5 m/s when its retro-engine is fired. If the engine produces a thrust Tfor 5.2swhich varies with the time as shown and then cuts off, calculate the velocity of the lander when t= 6.3s assuming that it has not yet landed. Gravitational acceleration at the moon's surface is 1.62 m/s?. The velocity is positive if moving downward, negative if up. 4.5 m/s T.N 748 2.6 5.2 1,8 Answe: V= m/s
A rocket of mass 10^5 kg is launched fromthe surface of the Earth. This is a sketch of the rocket as it’s still in Earth’s atmo-sphere. The rocket is undergoing an accel-eration of 3 m/s^2 upward. There is a forceexerted on the rocket from the thrust of itsengines labeled here as FEngine (you can useFE for short). The rocket is still close to theEarth’s surface, so it is subject to Earth’s gravity, and it is also subject to a substan-tial air resistance force. a. Draw a complete free body diagram of the rocket with all forces acting on it, clearlyindicating which direction each forces act. b. What is the weight of the rocket, and what is the net force on the rocket? c. If the force the engine is exerting is FE = 1.8×10^6 N, what is the magnitude of the forceof air resistance? d. What is the work done by the engine as the rocket rises 150 m?
