They both throw snowballs with the same initial speed, but in different directions. Mary throws her snowball downward, at 30° below the horizontal; Debra throws her snowball upward, at 30° above the horizontal. Which of the following statements are true about just before the snowballs reach the ground below? (A) Debra's snowball will have a higher speed than Mary's snowball. (B) Mary's snowball will have a higher speed than Debra's snowball. (C) Both snowballs will hit the ground with the same speed. (D) Both snowballs hit the ground at the same time. 9) Two blocks are connected by a string and pulley as shown.

With what force is the mover pulling down on the rope? (A) 2000 N (B) 1000 N (C) 500 N (D) 250 NProblems: You MUST show ALL your work and use correct units for numerical answers to receive full credit. 13) Initially a car is traveling at 56 mph. Then the driver of the car, applies the breaks and the car decelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.2m/s2. (1 mile = 1.61 km ) (a) How far does the car travel in the first 3.0 s after the breaks are applied? (5 points) (b) How long does it take for the car to come to a complete stop? (4 points) (c) What distance does the car travel before coming to a complete stop? (4 points) (d) Now if the car was travelling initially at twice the speed and the same deceleration applied via the breaks, by what factor would the stopping distance change with the answer you got in part (c)? (3 points) (i) it would be the same (ii) by a factor of two (iii) by a factor of four (iv) by a factor of eight (v) by a factor of sixteen14) Your directions to buried treasure read: starting at Wilson’s Grave (the origin) walk 6.0 paces North, then 8.0 paces at an angle 30° South of East, and finally 7.0 paces Southwest (45° South of West).
