Obstacle 2: Hooligans The path on the other side of the Lava Pit is completely frictionless,
and the bear slides on the path with the x component of his velocity found in question 1 b .
Further up the path is a group of 3 hooligans straight in front of the bear. For fun, each
hooligan takes a rock of mass 3 kg , pulls it back 0.5 m in a slingshot with an approximate
spring constant of 200N//m and releases the rock directly at the bear. The bear manages to
catch all three rocks. The mass of the bear is 25kg.
a.(12 points) How fast is the bear moving after he catches all the rocks?
b.(12 points) The path in front of the bear makes an abrupt right-hand turn. The bear
needs to make the turn and continue moving down the path. Describe a way for the
bear to make the turn and approximate the speed the bear is going after he makes it.
Be as specific as possible. You may have to make some approximations and
assumptions to answer this question. State each approximation and assumption you
are making and why you made it.
