A golf takes three putts to get the ball into the hole. The first putt displaces the ball `3.66` m north, the second `1.83` m southeast, and the thirs `0.91` m southwest. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the displacement needed to get the ball into the hole on the first putt ?

To solve the problem step by step, we will break down the displacements into their vector components and then find the resultant vector that represents the displacement needed to get the ball into the hole in one putt. ### Step 1: Represent the Displacements as Vectors 1. **First Putt (A)**: The first putt displaces the ball 3.66 m north. In vector form, this can be represented as: \[ \vec{A} = 3.66 \hat{j} \] ...

Figure shows a 0.300 kg baseball just before and just after it collides with a bat. Just before, the ball has velocity vecv_1 of magnitude 12.0 m/s and angle theta_1=35.0^@ Just after, it is traveling directly upward with velocity vecv_2 of magnitude 10.0 m/s The duration of the collision is 2.00 ms. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the impulse on the ball from the bat? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average force on the ball from the bat?

Three small balls of equal mass (m) are suspended from a thread and two springs of same force constant (K) such that the distances between the first and the second ball and the second third ball are the same. Thus the centre of mass of the whole system coincides with the second ball. The thread supporting the upper ball is cut and system starts a free fall. Find the distance of the centre of mass of the system from the second ball when both the springs acquire their natural length in the falling system.

A ball of mass m strikes a rigid wall with speed v and gets reflected without any loss of speed, as shown in the figure. (a) What is the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the ball by the wall? (b) What is the direction of the force on the wall due to the ball?

6 balls marked as 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are kept in a box. Two players A and B start to take out 1 ball at a time from the box one after another without replacing the ball till the game is over. The number marked on the ball is added each time to the previous sum to get the sum of numbers marked on the balls taken out. If this sum is even, then 1 point is given to the players. the first player to get 2 points is declared winner. at the start of the game, the sum is 0. if A starts to take out the ball, find the number of ways in which the game can be won.
