1) A skier A going down the ski slope has a speed of 20 m/s at the instant shown and his speed is increasingly uniformly throughout the path at the rate of 1 m/s2. The ski slope is represented by the path y = x3/20 (x,y in meters, measured from O). The skier observes a Frisbee at point B. The Frisbee, as shown, has a speed of 12 m/s and is falling freely under its own weight (neglect air drag). At the instant shown, the position of the Frisbee with respect to the X-Y coordinate system at O is given by the coordinate (-7.5, 15). For this instant,
i) Find the velocity of Frisbee relative to the skier (i.e. V'B - V'A )
ii) Find the acceleration of the Frisbee relative to the skier (i.e. a'B - a'A )
iii) Compute the values of r', θ', r", θ" for the Frisbee as recorded by the skier. [Hint: Fix polar coordinate system at A, draw er, eθ vectors to B, and make use of your answers from i) and ii) above to get the final answers to this part of the problem]
2) The two 0.2 kg sliders A and B move without friction in the horizontal-plane circular slot. Determine the acceleration of each slider and the normal reaction force exerted on each when the system starts from rest in the position shown and is acted upon by the 4-N force P. Also find the tension in the inextensible cord AB.
3) The sphere of mass m1 travels with an initial velocity v1 as shown and directly strikes the sphere of mass m2 (initially at rest). For a given coefficient of restitution e, determine the mass ratio m1/m2 which results in m1 being motionless after impact. For this ratio, what is the kinetic energy of m2 after impact?
4) A 150 lb skateboarder starts from rest (at point A) and skates along a parabolic path given by y = x2/4 (x, y in meters).

Assume the path is frictionless.
5) Consider a pulley-block system to be attached to an elevator ceiling. The elevator begins to accelerate upwards from its rest configuration with a constant acceleration of aL = 3 m/s2. At this instant, the 60 kg block A is released from rest. If the masses of the pulleys and the cord are neglected, determine the speed of the 40 kg block B in 4 seconds. Also determine the tension in each cable.
6) A small block A of mass m resting on a frictionless tabletop is attached by cables to a point P (see figure below) and, by means of a massless pulley, to a block B of equal mass. Further, the block A is attached to a point O by means of a spring. The undeformed length of the spring is l0 = 0.5 meter and stiffness k = 5mg/l0. The cable PA is cut and the block A starts to move.
Find the speed of block A when it is breaking off the surface of the tabletop.
7) Consider the following system in a vertical plane.
The slider moves from A to B on a frictionless rod under the action of the constant external force F (as shown) [‘constant' means neither magnitude nor direction of F changes]. The slider is initially at rest at point A. The spring is attached to the slider on one end and the fixed point O on the other end. Stiffness of the spring is k = 250 N/m.

9) A ball is launched from point B on a hill (as shown). Due to windy conditions, the ball experiences wind forces which give it an additional uniform acceleration of 3 m/s2 in the direction shown. Compute how far from point B the ball will hit the hill. Assume hill's slope extends to infinity (in other words, the hill is huge)
Assuming the coefficient of restitution of impact, e is 0.85, find the rebound velocity of the ball. [Take mass of ball = 0.25 kg]
10) Sphere A collides with sphere B as shown in the figure (next page). If the coefficient of restitution is e = 1, determine the x- and y- components of the velocity of each sphere immediately after impact. Motion is confined to x-y plane. Neglect any friction effects.
Further prove that the kinetic energy of the system (i.e. sphere A + sphere B) is conserved.
