  1. During a hailstorm, hailstones with an average mass of 4 kg and speed of 20 m/s strike a windowpane at a 15 degree angle with respect to the normal to the surface of the window pane. The area of the window is 1.5 m2 and the hailstones hit it at a rate of 30 per second. What average pressure do they exert on the window? How does this compare to the pressure of the atmosphere?

In a 30.0-s interval, 540 hailstones strike a glass window of area 0.600 m2 at an angle of 45.0° to the window surface. Each hailstone has a mass of 5.00 g and a speed of 8.20 m/s. Assume the collisions are elastic. (a) Find the average force on the window. (b) Find the average pressure on the window during this interval (due to the hailstones only).

A soccer ball of mass 0.4 kg is moving horizontally with a speed of 20 m/s when it is kicked by a player. The kicking force is so large that the ball flies up at an angle of 30 degrees above the ground. The player however claims (s)he aimed her/his foot at a 40 degree angle above the ground. First briefly but precisely explain how this is possible, based on what you heard in the lecture. Then calculate the average...
