Chapter 11, Problem 23PQ
Ezra (m = 25.0 kg) has a tire swing and wants to swing as high as possible. He thinks that his best option is to run as fast as he can and jump onto the tire at full speed. The tire has a mass of 10.0 kg and hangs 3.75 m straight down from a tree branch. Ezra stands back 10.0 m and accelerates to a speed of 3.50 m /s before jumping onto the tire swing. a. How fast are Ezra and the tire moving immediately after he jumps onto the swing? b. How high does the tire travel above its initial height?

Old-fashioned pendulum clocks are powered by masses that need to be wound back to the top of the clock about once a week to counteract energy lost due to friction and to the chimes. One particular clock has three masses: 4.0 kg, 4.0 kg, and 6.0 kg. They can drop 1.3 meters. How much energy does the clock use in a week?
a. 51 J
b. 76 J
c. 127 J
d. 178 J
. Flaca, who has a mass of 45 kg, runs up the stairs in the same time as her little brother Gordito, who is actually
bigger than his sister with a mass of 60 kg.
a. Who did more work? Explain
A shopping cart that has an inertia of 12 kg when empty is loaded with 43 kg of groceries. A child pushing the loaded cart loses control, and the cart rolls into a concrete lamppost, which sustains no damage. The cart is moving at 2.0 m/s when it strikes the lamppost, and the groceries all crash forward on impact, moving the center of mass forward by 0.10 m before everything comes to a halt.
A.What is the work done by the post on the system?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
B.What is the change in kinetic energy of the system's center of mass?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
