On Mars, a ball is rolling from a ground to a hill, and we know the height of the hill, Z, is 10 m, and the initial velocity ofthe ball on the ground and the final velocity on the hill are known: V1 = 20 m/s and V2 = 10 m/s, respectively. The mass ofthe ball, m, is 4 kg. The gravitational acceleration on Mars, gMars, is 3.7 m/s2. Please calculate 1) the change in kineticenergy, ΔKE, in J and 2) the change in potential energy, ΔPE, in J, of the ball for the rolling process.
A lightweight drone (1.00 kg) is launched at 800 m high and moves upward at a constant velocity (whileignoring the effects of gravity only on the drone). The balloon, when measured at a horizontal distance fromyou, is about 1600 m away from you. At the moment when the drone moves, you shoot a bullet (weight =180g) with an initial velocity of 1009 m/s at a fixed angle α, where sin α=3/5 and cos α= 4/5. (g = 9.8 m/s2) (10pts each)a.

A ball rolls off the edge of a table. Let the time the ball leaves the table surface be - 0. If the table is horizontal, its velocity as a function of time is given by v - 1.00i - 9.80j, with v in m/s and t in s. The ball's displacement from the edge of the table from t - o to t- 0.300 s (while it is in flight), is given by = 0 0.300 Ar = v dt. Use this theorem to perform the integration: Consider the units and unit vectors to be the constants P and Q. Integrate to determine the ball's displacement (in m) from the table edge at 0.300 s. (Express your answer in vector form. Do not include units in your answer.) Ar = m

A group of students launches a model rocket in the vertical direc- tion. Based on tracking data, they determine that the altitude of the rocket was 89.6 ft at the end of the powered portion of the flight and that the rocket landed 16 s later. Knowing that the descent parachute failed to deploy so that the rocket fell freely to the ground after reaching its maximum altitude and assuming that g = 32.2 ft/s, determine (a) the speed v, of the rocket at the end of powered flight, (b) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket.
