- A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible?

- A 0.42 kg soccer ball is 1.1 meters above the ground when it is kicked upwards. The vertical velocity of the ball when it leaves the foot at this height above the ground is 10.7 m/s. The ball hits the ground after reaching it's maximum height from the vertical kick and the coefficient of restitution (COR) between the soccer ball and the ground is 0.56. After being kicked in the air as described above, what maximum vertical height does the ball reach in meters on its first bounce off the ground?arrow_forwardWhen catching a foul ball at a baseball game, why is it important to extend your bare hands upward so they can move downward as the ball is being caught?arrow_forwardA bird cage, with a parrot inside, hangs from a scale.

- A basketball player of mass m=88.4 kg jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body d1=0.44 m, then he accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a speed sufficient to carry him d2=0.56 m above the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with which the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the speed v with wiich the basketball player leaves the floor. Write an expression for the acceleration, a, of the basketball player during the leg-straightening. Write an expression for the force upward force, FN, exerted on the basketball player by the floor during the leg straightening.
