Physics Worksheet: Motion and Forces

This document contains 8 physics problems related to work, energy, momentum, and center of mass. The problems cover topics like: 1) Finding the time, horizontal distance, and velocities of a box dropped from an airplane. 2) Calculating times, velocities, and magnitudes for a baseball thrown at an angle. 3) Finding tension in cords for suspended objects. 4) Determining weights for blocks on inclined planes to move up/down at constant speeds or remain at rest. 5) Analyzing the motion of connected blocks on frictionless planes. 6) Computing work, friction work, and potential energy for an object pushed up a ramp. 7) Finding velocities after an elastic collision
