You throw a ball for your dog to fetch. The ball leaves your hand with a speed of 2 m/s, at an angle of 30◦ to the horizontal, and from a height of 1.5 m above the ground. The mass of the ball is 0.5 kg. Neglect air resistance in what follows.

(a) What is the acceleration of the ball while it is in flight? Report it as a vector, that is, specify magnitude and direction (or vertical and horizontal components; if the latter, specify which direc- tion(s) you take as positive).
(b) What is the kinetic energy of the ball as it leaves your hand?
(c) Consider the Earth as being in the system. What is the potential energy of the Earth-ball system (1) as the ball leaves your hand, (2) at its maximum height, and (3) as it finally hits the ground?
(d) How high does the ball rise above the ground?
(e) What is the kinetic energy of the ball as it hits the ground?
(f) Now let the system be the ball alone. How much work does the Earth do on the ball while it is in flight? (from start to finish)
(g) What is the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground? Report it as a vector.
(h) How far away from you (horizontally) does the ball land?

During physical science, ms. greene challenged her students to produce an energy transformation. james and jill wrapped a 4-inch nail with a coil of fifty turns of wire. they connected one end of the coil to one terminal of a knife switch. they connected the other terminal of the knife switch to the battery. finally, they connected the end of the coil to the other terminal of the battery. james held the tip of a 1-inch nail near the flat end of the 4-inch nail. jill closed the knife switch quickly and then opened it. the 1-inch nail was pulled toward the 4-inch nail. what is the best explanation of why the nail moved? a) electrical energy was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. b) the 4-inch nail became an electromagnet and the magnetic force attracted the 1-inch nail. c) the electric current in the 4-inch nail was converted to mechanical energy in the 1-inch nail. d) the 4-inch nail had a positive charge and the 1-inch nail had a negative charge. opposites attracted.
