A golf ball is hit from the ground (elevation is zero) and takes off with a launch speed of 55 m/s and a launch angle of 25 degrees. The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s2 downward (negative y direction). The wind resistance is proportional to velocity and is defined by constant k = 0.014 N / (m/s). The mass of the golf ball m = 46 grams. 1) Determine the horizontal x1(t) and vertical y1(t) positions as a function of time ignoring air / wind resistance in both the x and y directions. 2) Determine the horizontal x2(t) and vertical y2(t) positions as a function of time including air / wind resistance in both the x and y directions. 3) For the case ignoring wind / air resistance, calculate how long the ball is in the air (in seconds) and how far away the ball lands from where it was hit (in meters).

Sharon pushes a tall box across the floor. Her arms (and therefore her push force) of F = 400 N make a theta= 30 degree angle with the horizontal. Since the box rests on ball bearings it is essentially frictionless. Sick of her job, Sharon decides to give the box a brief shove lasting only t = 0.2 seconds. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the box at the completion of Sharon's shove, assuming (a) the box's weight is 490 N, and (b) the box's weight is 122.5 N. In both cases, the box starts from rest.
