The surface of a pool table is h=0.710 m from the floor. The winner of a competition wants to know if he has broken the world speed record for the break shot of 32 mph (about 14.3 m/s). A. If the winner’s ball landed d=4.95 m from the table’s edge, calculate the speed of his break shot v0. Assume friction is negligible. B. At what speed v1 did his pool ball hit the ground? Image is attached below. Please show all work.

- On a beautiful spring day Rosie and Frankie decide to go skateboarding at the local skate park. Frankie has this really cool trick that she wants to try out on one of the half-pipe at the park. She tells Rosie to go stand on her skateboard in the center at the bottom of the half-pipe. Frankie then tells Rosie she is going to drop down from rest at the top of the half-pipe which stands at a height of 4.5 m. Frankie tells Rosie to grab onto her arms when she gets to the bottom so they can create a perfectly inelastic collision and move together after the collision. Unfortunately, when Frankie attempts this trick another skater named Mike drops down from rest on the other side (which is at the same height of 4.5 m) behind Rosie which results in the screaming Rosie-Frankie combination colliding elastically with Mike. If Rosie has a mass of 50.0 kg, Frankie has a mass of 70.0 kg, and Mike has a mass of 100.0 kg what is the final velocity of all three of the skaters after the elastic…arrow_forwardQUESTION 1 The sooperdooperLooper roller coaster at Hershey Park features a single vertical loop, with a slight helical twist to accommodate the loop's connection to the rest of the track. According to their website, the maximum height of the loop is 57 feet (1.0 ft = 0.305 m). What is the minimum speed the car can travel and just barely make it over the top of the loop? Give your answer as a value in m/s. QUESTION 2 Consider again the roller coaster from the previous question. If the car actually travels at 110% of the minimum speed found in the previous question when it passes through the top of the loop, what is its speed at the bottom of the loop?
