Chapter 8, Problem 8.66P
Three identical pucks on a horizontal air table have repelling magnets. They are held together and then released simultaneously. Each has the same speed at any instant. One puck moves due west. What is the direction of the velocity of each of the other two pucks?

A white billiard ball, moving horizontally strikes the number 2 billiard ball, at rest.
Before impact, the white ball was moving at a speed of 3.50 m/s and angle of 23°
from the horizontal, and after impact it is moving at 0.75 m/s at 47° from the
horizontal.
a. If the two balls have equal masses of 140 g, what is the velocity of the red
ball after the impact? Include its magnitude and direction.
You are watching a National Geographic Special on television. One segment of the program is about archerfish which inhabit streams in southeast Asia. This fish actually spits drops of water at insects to knock them into the water so it can eat them. The commentator states that the archerfish keeps its mouth at the surface of the pond and squirts a jet of water from its mouth at a speed of 4 m/s. You watch an archerfish shoot a juicy mosquito off a leaf and into the stream. You estimate that the leaf was about 3/4 of a meter above the stream. You wonder at what minimum angle from the horizontal must the fish shoot a water droplet in order to hit the mosquito. Since you have time during the commercial break, you quickly calculate this angle using conservation of energy.
A horizontal water jet of constant velocity V from a stationary nozzle impinges normally on a vertical flat plate that rides on a nearly frictionless track. As the water jet hits the plate, it begins to move due to the water force. What is the highest velocity the plate can attain? Explain.
