1. (Problem 8.25) A hunter on a frozen, essentially frictionless pond uses a rifle that shoots 4.20-g bullets at 965 m/s.
The mass of the hunter with his gun is 72.5 kg, and the hunter holds tight to the gun after firing it. Find the recoil
velocity of the hunter if he fires the rifle
A. Horizontally. [5] B. At 56.0° above the horizontal (only get the x-
component). [5]

2. (Problem 8.81) A movie stuntman (𝑚𝑆 = 80.0 kg) stands on a window ledge 5.0 m above
the floor (see figure on the right). Grabbing a rope attached to a chandelier, he swings
down to grapple with the movie’s villain (𝑚𝑉 = 70.0 kg), who is standing directly under
the chandelier (assume that the stuntman’s center of mass drops downward 5.0 m. He
releases the rope just as he reaches the villain.)

A. With what speed do the entwined foes start to slide B. If the coefficient of kinetic friction of their bodies with
across the floor? [5] the floor is 𝜇𝑘 = 0.250, how far do they slide? Assume
that the acceleration is constant. [5]

3. (Problem 8.48) A 10.0-g marble slides to the left at a speed of 𝑣𝐴 = 0.400 m/s on the frictionless, horizontal surface
of an icy sidewalk and has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger 30.0-g marble sliding to the right at a speed
of 𝑣𝐵 = 0.200 m/s.

A. Find the velocity of each marble right after the B. Calculate the total change in kinetic energy for each
collision. [5] marble and verify that the total change for the whole
system is 0. [5]

4. (Problem 8.55) A machine part consists of a thin, uniform 4.00-kg bar that is
1.50 m long, hinged perpendicular to another uniform bar of mass 3.00 kg and
length 1.80 m. The longer bar has a small but dense 2.00-kg uniform sphere
at one end as seen on the figure on the right. Consider the origin to be at the
hinge.

system. [5] machine part move if the vertical bar is pivoted 90°
counterclockwise to make the entire part horizontal?
