Questions
A golf ball is hit so that it leaves the club face at a velocity of 45 𝑚 𝑠−1 at an angle of 40° to the
Q.1.
horizontal. By ignoring the effects of air resistance and spin on the ball, use the information to
answer question (a) to (d).
Q.2.
1. A 7.26kg bowling ball (16 pounds) is at rest at the end of a bowling lane. Use this
information to answer the following questions.
a. What is the net force acting on the ball?
b. You push the ball with a force of 22.8N which induces a -2.3N frictional
force. What is the net force while you push the ball?
c. What is the acceleration caused by your push on the ball?
d. Following your push the ball rolls down the lane at 4.2m/s. What is the net
force on the ball as it rolls down the lane at the constant speed?

Q.5.
A weight on the end of a spring is displaced 15cm from its equilibrium position and released. It
then oscillates up and down, making 10 vibrations each minute.
Calculate:

b) The maximum acceleration
c) The speed and acceleration of the weight when it is 10 cm above the equilibrium point
and is moving down.
