In the first scene of the 1981 movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, archaeologist Indiana Jones inadvertently trips a booby trap and is chased out of a cave by a large spherical rolling stone (you can find the scene on YouTube). If the stone is rolling at 15 mi/h (about as fast as a normal human can run) what minimum vertical distance must it have rolled down before confronting Jones?

At its Ames Research Center, NASA uses its large “20 G” centrifuge to test the effects of very large accelerations (“hypergravity”) on test pilots and astronauts. In this device, an arm 8.84 m long rotates about one end in a horizontal plane, and an astronaut is strapped in at the other end. Suppose that he is aligned along the centrifuge’s arm with his head at the outermost end. The maximum sustained acceleration to which humans are subjected in this device is typically 12.5g. (a) How fast must the astronaut’s head be moving to experience this maximum acceleration? (b) What is the difference between the acceleration of his head and feet if the astronaut is 2.00 m tall? (c) How fast in rpm 1rev>min2 is the arm turning to produce the maximum sustained acceleration?

The hammer throw was one of the earliest Olympic events. In this event, a heavy ball attached to a chain is swung several times in a circular path until it is released. The winning athlete is the one who throws the ball the greatest distance. The last complete rotation of 2016 Olympic champion Anita Włodarczyk’s final turn took only 0.43 s. The radius of the ball’s path, including her extended arms, was 2.1 m.a. What was the frequency of this rotation?b. What was the speed of the ball?c. What was the ball’s acceleration, in units of g?
