1. 1 meter = (1/1.0936) yard. A 100 yard is 100/1.0936 = 91.44 meters

2. This calls for one of the kinematic equations, v 2 = v02 + 2gh.
(a) We need to solve for v0 , this is just math now. So plug in the relevant information.
v = 0 (when you jump to dunk, you are in mid air), h = 0.75m
Solving for v0 = 3.83m/s
(b) The horizontal distance from the basket to where the player jumps is simply given
by d = v0 t. Since velocity is constant throughout we need to calculate the total hang
time. But this is just using v = v0 + gt = 0 = 3.83 9.8t = t = 0.39. This
means the horizontal distance is 5 0.39 = 1.95m
3.
(a) Relativeness should be thought of in terms of coordinates, think of the first runner
as 0, then taking right as the positive increasing convention the relative velocity is
4.2 3.5 = 0.7m/s
(b) Compare the time in
295 = 4.2t
and
250 = 3.5t,
whichever yields the smallest t wins. So use a calculator and you will find that
70.24 = 295/4.2 < 250/3.5 = 71.42, meaning the second runner wins (surprisingly)
(c) You can compute the relative positions, but honestly its better to just reason this
out. By the time the winner finishes, there is exactly 71.42 70.24 = 1.19s left before
the original first runner makes it to the finishing line maintaining a constant velocity
of 3.5m/s, so just calculate 1.19 3.5 = 4.17m
4. Simply newtons second law, 4.2m/s2 63kg = 294.6N
5. This is just T = 1/f = 1/60 = 16.2ms
p
6. Recall T = 2 m/k, denote the periods for before and after Ti and Tf , note that
q
Tf /Ti = mf /mi = mf = (Tf /Ti )2 mi = (2/1.5)2 (0.5) = 0.889
kg. Hence the change in mass is 0.889 0.5 = 0.389kg
