A hockey puck slides off the edge of a table at point A with an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s and experiences no air resistance. The height of the tabletop above the ground is 2.00 m

(a) What is the speed (not the velocity) of the puck just before it touches the ground?
(b) What is the distance between point A and the point where the puck hits the ground?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: (a) 21.0 m/s (b) 12.9 m

In a ballistics test, a 1.50-g bullet is fired through a 28.0-kg block traveling horizontally toward the bullet

In this test, the bullet takes 11.4 ms to pass through the block as it reverses the block's velocity from 1.75 m/s to the right to 1.20 m/s to the left with constant acceleration. Find the magnitude of the force that the bullet exerts on the block during this ballistics test.
