Homework - 9/20/10


A bear is at a local park, drowning his sorrows the way he knows best - by drinking a mug of honey. Sad that his bear family has deserted him and that his bloodlust for humans has made him a fugitive, he slides the mug down the table in frustration. The mug slides off the table horizontally and strikes the ground 1.40 meters from the base of the table. If the tabletop is 0.86 meters high, what velocity did the mug have when it left the table? What is the mug's speed and direction just before it hits the ground.
