In an amusement park, a car rolls on a track as shown below. Find the speed (in m/s) of the car at A, B, and C. Note that the work done by the rolling friction is zero since the point at which the rolling friction acts on the tires is momentarily at rest and therefore has a zero displacement.

A child of mass m starts from rest and slides without friction from a height h along a slide next to a pool (Fig. P7.27). She is launched from a height h/5 into the air over the pool. We wish to find the maximum height she reaches above the water in her projectile motion. (a) Is the childEarth system isolated or nonisolated? Why? (b) Is there a nonconservative force acting within the system? (c) Define the configuration of the system when the child is at the water level as having zero gravitational potential energy. Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the top of the waterslide. (d) Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the launching point. (e) Express the total energy of the system when the child is at the highest point in her projectile motion.

A suspicious physics student watches a stunt performed at an ice show. In the stunt, a performer shoots an arrow into a bale of hay (Fig. P11.24). Another performer rides on the bale of hay like a cowboy. After the arrow enters the bale, the balearrow system slides roughly 5 m along the ice. Estimate the initial speed of the arrow. Is there a trick to this stunt? FIGURE P11.24
