A skydiver reaches a terminal velocity of \(55.0\, \mathrm{m/s}\). At terminal velocity, the skydiver no longer accelerates. The mass of the skydiver and her equipment is \(87.0\, \mathrm{kg}\). What is the force of friction acting on her?
You are pushing a heavy box across a rough floor. When you are initially pushing the box and it is accelerating,
When is the angular momentum of a system constant?
A compressed spring mounted on a disk can project a small ball. When the disk is not rotating, as shown in the top view above, the ball moves radially outward. The disk then rotates in a counterclockwise direction as seen from above, and the ball is projected outward at the instant the disk is in the position shown above. Which of the following best shows the subsequent path of the ball relative to the ground?
A stone is thrown horizontally at \(8.0 \, \text{m/s}\) from a cliff \(80 \,\text{m}\) high. How far from the base of the cliff will the stone strike the ground?
Two blocks connected to a compressed spring move right at speed \( v \). After releasing the spring, the left block moves left at speed \( v_2 \), the right block moves right. What is the center speed of the blocks then?
Ben’s favorite ride at the Barrel-O-Fun Amusement Park is the Flying Umbrella, which is lifted by a hydraulic jack. The operator activates the ride by applying a force of \( 72 \) \( \text{N} \) to a \( 3.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) wide cylindrical piston, which holds the \( 20,000 \) \( \text{N} \) ride off the ground. What is the diameter of the piston that holds the ride?
Will Clark throws a baseball with a horizontal component of velocity of \(25 \, \text{m/s}\). It takes \(3 \, \text{s}\) to come back to its original height. Calculate the baseball’s:
A lighter car and a heavier truck, each traveling to the right with the same speed \( v \) hit their brakes. The retarding frictional force F on both cars turns out to be constant and the same. After both vehicles travel a distance \( D \) (and both are still moving), which of the following statements is true?
An elevator of height \(h\) ascends with constant acceleration \(a\). When it crosses a platform, it has acquired a velocity \(u\). At this instant a bolt drops from the top of the elevator. Find the time for the bolt to hit the floor of the elevator. Give your answer in terms of \(h\), \(a\), and any constant.
A rubber ball bounces off of a wall with an initial speed \(v\) and reverses its direction so its speed is \(v\) right after the bounce. As a result of this bounce, which of the following quantities of the ball are conserved?
Car A of mass \( m_A \) is moving to the east along a straight road. Car B of mass \( m_B \) is moving to the north along another straight road. At the instant \( t = 0 \) shown in the figure, both cars are at their closest point to a flagpole, with Car A a distance \( d_A \) from the flagpole and Car B a distance \( d_B \) from the flagpole. The cars continue, each moving with constant speed, and reach the intersection of the two roads at time \( t = t_f \). Which of the following correctly expresses the magnitude of the total angular momentum of the two-car system about the flagpole at time \( t = 0 \)?
Why do you float higher in salt water than in fresh water?
The Moon does not crash into the Earth because:
Caleb is filling up water balloons for the Physics Olympics balloon toss competition. Caleb sets a \( 0.50 \text{-kg} \) spherical water balloon on the kitchen table and notices that the bottom of the balloon flattens until the pressure on the bottom is reduced to \( 630 \frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2} \). What is the area of the flat spot on the bottom of the balloon?
A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15,000 rpm in 240 s. Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?
A system consists of two small disks, of masses \( m \) and \( 2m \), attached to a rod of negligible mass of length \( 3l \) as shown above. The rod is free to turn about a vertical axis through point \( P \). The two disks rest on a rough horizontal surface; the coefficient of friction between the disks and the surface is \( \mu \). At time \( t = 0 \), the rod has an initial counterclockwise angular velocity \( \omega_0 \) about \( P \). The system is gradually brought to rest by friction. Develop expressions for the following quantities in terms of \( \mu \), \( m \), \( l \), \( g \), and \( \omega_0 \).
Which statement is true about the distances the two objects have traveled at time \( t_f \)?
An ice skater performs a pirouette (a fast spin) by pulling in his outstretched arms close to his body. What happens to his angular momentum about the axis of rotation?
You kick a ball straight up. Compare the sign of the work done by gravity on the ball while it goes up with the sign of the work done by gravity while it goes down.
An airplane with a speed of \( 97.5 \, \text{m/s} \) is climbing upward at an angle of \( 50.0^\circ \) with respect to the horizontal. When the plane’s altitude is \( 732 \, \text{m} \), the pilot releases a package.
The \( 70 \) \( \text{kg} \) student in the figure balances a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) elephant on a hydraulic lift. Assume that it is filled with oil, which is incompressible and has a density \( \rho = 900 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). What is the diameter of the piston the student is standing on? Assume each piston has a cylindrical shape, i.e., a circular cross-sectional area. Note: The two pistons are at the same height. Also, the diameter of the wider piston is given in the figure to be \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m} \).
A sphere of mass \( M \) and radius \( r \), and rotational inertia \( I \) is released from the top of an inclined plane of height \( h \). The surface has considerable friction. Using only the variables mentioned, derive an expression for the sphere’s center of mass velocity.
