A lead ball, with an initial temperature of 25 °C, is released from a height of 125.0 m. It does not bounce when it hits a hard surface. Assume all the energy of the fall goes into heating the lead. Find the temperature in °C of the ball after it hits. (You do not need to enter the units.) Data: clead = 128 [(J)/(kg·°C)].

A ball is thrown up onto a roof, landing 3.10 s later at height h = 18.0 m above the release level. The ball's path just before landing is angled at θ = 63.0˚ with the roof. (a) Find the horizontal distance d it travels. (Hint: One way is to reverse the motion, as if it is on a video.) What are the (b) magnitude and (c) angle (relative to the horizontal) of the ball's initial velocity?

1. A cannon ball is fired from a giant cannon whose length is 1.00 x 102 m.  The cannon ball leaves the barrel at a speed of 99.5 m/s: a. What is the acceleration of the cannon ball while in the cannon? Show all work. The cannon ball (above) leaves the barrel at ground level at an angle of 60.0o from the ground and travels with minimal air resistance until impacting on the ground some distance away. b. Calculate the initial...
