1. A 1.2kg coconut is hanging from a vine at a height of 2 meters above the
ground. When the coconut is dropped it swings down and hits a .8kg lemur, who
sticks to the coconut. The coconut then continues its arc up the other side.


a. What is the speed of the coconut before it hits the lemur?
b. What is the speed of the coconut and lemur after the collision?
c. If the lemur wants to reach a persimmon that is at a height of 1.2 m above the ground on the far side of the
swing, will it be able to?
d. Through what maximum angle does the lemur swing?

Tarzan (an 80-kg man) is standing at rest on a tree branch 20 meters above the ground. Jane (a 40-kg woman) is standing at ground level. Tarzan swings on a hanging vine from the tree and reaches ground level at the very bottom of his swing, where he grabs Jane and they continue the swing (upward again) together. How high off the ground do the two reach? (Hint: what kind of collision do the two have?

A baseball (a projectile) is launched from a height of 2 meters above the ground at a speed of 34 m/s at an angle of 22 degrees above the horizontal. The ball is directly hit a fielder who will catch the ball and the fielder is initially 91 meters from point where the baseball is hit (home plate).
