It will be unstable system because it will not be able to recover from the disturbance
Answer:
a) 0.658 seconds
b) 0.96 inches
Explanation:

Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds

The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft
Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft

The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown


The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches
Answer:
The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.
Explanation:
Use the kinetic energy formula

The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)
One day, as I was walking, I found some sandy soil beside the road.
Answer:
a) C.M 
b) 
Explanation:
The center of mass "represent the unique point in an object or system which can be used to describe the system's response to external forces and torques"
The center of mass on a two dimensional plane is defined with the following formulas:


Where M represent the sum of all the masses on the system.
And the center of mass C.M 
Part a
represent the masses.
represent the coordinates for the masses with the units on meters.
So we have everything in order to find the center of mass, if we begin with the x coordinate we have:


C.M 
Part b
For this case we have an additional mass
and we know that the resulting new center of mass it at the origin C.M
and we want to find the location for this new particle. Let the coordinates for this new particle given by (a,b)

If we solve for a we got:




And solving for b we got:

So the coordinates for this new particle are:
