+ | Larry the penguin (mass: 40kg) from learning to fly cool math games wants to make the jump of a lifetime. He was challenged to land on a bar of ice that is fixed to the side of a glacier ready to fall with any collision. He has lathered himself up with a special sticky compound and intends to stick to the ice bar (mass: 100kg) and attack his arch-nemesis, | ||

+ | After last week's massacre, all of the physics students have rejoiced that their TA's are dead. They move away to the Appalachian mountains where they plan to live out a long physicsless life. Suddenly, alarm sirens go off and the students rush to the edge of their mountaintop community to see what the fuss is about. That's when they noticed a mob of TA zombies running at them. Lilly, (one of the craziest zombies) is limping because of her human dance injury so she talks to all of the other TA zombies and they decide (after discussing the physics of things and giving each other notes on their conversation skills (Yannis got a 4/4 obviously)) that they should combine their bodies into one mega zombie with a velocity of 10m/s. Luckily a student remembers that they have a professor Irving locked away in their mountain jail where they only feed him the leftover Halloween candy he had brought into class and play the song the class voted as #1 on repeat 24/7. With Irving' | ||

+ | Once you fire the ball your notice that your calculations were slightly off and you have hit the top of the combined zombie pile resulting in the creation of a boulder made up of zombies and flaming clay. The flaming clay hits at a radius of 3m from the center of the mass of the zombies. What was the mass of the zombie pile and what is its final velocity after the clay ball collides with it? | ||

+ | On the Jovian moon of Ganymede, a team has been designing Richard’s Ragin Boar Tiger Rocket Ride. Unfortunately, | ||
+ | The team needs to find the height of the first hill (h in the diagram) and the mass of Go-Gurt used to help stop the cart carrying the riders, but oh darn it! The boyfriend threw up on the paper including some of the design details leaving it only partially legible. | ||
+ | The coaster starts by a rocket propelling the cart up the hill, with the rocket booster shutting off just prior to reaching the peak of the hill such that the speed of the cart is 1 m/s at the top of the hill. The cart then goes down the hill to a turning segment, where it magnetically latches onto the end of a 20 meter long, 7,500 kg nickel bar. The other end of the bar is fixed to a well-lubricated pin at the center of the semi-circular turning segment. | ||

+ | Here are the designer’s notes: | ||
+ | * Mass of car + passengers: 1,600 kg | ||
+ | * Mass of Ganymede: | ||
+ | * Mass of empty stopping cart: 1000 kg | ||
+ | * Average radius of Ganymede: 2634 km | ||
+ | * Speed upon exiting the turn-around and approaching the Go-Gurt: at least 14 m/s, but no higher than 16 m/s | ||
+ | * Track is frictionless | ||
