Four blocks of masses \( 20 \, \text{kg}, \, 30 \, \text{kg}, \, 40 \, \text{kg}, \, \text{and} \, 50 \, \text{kg} \) are stacked on top of one another in an elevator in order of decreasing mass with the lightest mass on the top of the stack. The elevator moves downward with an acceleration of \( 3.2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Find the contact force between the \( 30 \, \text{kg} \) and \( 40 \, \text{kg} \) masses.
A mechanical wheel initially at rest on the floor begins rolling forward with an angular acceleration of \( 2\pi \, \text{rad/s}^2 \). If the wheel has a radius of \( 2 \, \text{m} \), what distance does the wheel travel in \( 3 \) seconds?
Which of the following graphs represent an object at rest?
A solid sphere, solid cylinder, and a hollow pipe all have equal masses and radii. If the three of them are released simultaneously at the top of an inclined plane and do not slip, which one will reach the bottom first? \( I_{sphere} = \frac{2}{5}MR^2\), \( I_{cylinder} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2\), \( I_{pipe} = MR^2\)
A \(1200 \, \text{kg}\) car moving at \(15.6 \, \text{m/s}\) suddenly collides with a stationary car of mass \(1500 \, \text{kg}\). If the two vehicles lock together, what is their combined velocity immediately after the collision?
In 2014, the European Space Agency placed a satellite in orbit around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and then landed a probe on the surface. The actual orbit was elliptical, but we can approximate it as a 50 km diameter circular orbit with a period of 11 days.
Which of the following graphs represent an object having zero acceleration?
When the brakes of an automobile are applied, the road exerts the greatest retarding force
Consider an object on a rotating disk at a distance \( r \) from its center, held in place on the disk by static friction. Which of the following statements is not true concerning this object?

An object is suspended from a spring scale first in air, then in water, as shown in the figure above. The spring scale reading in air is \( 17.8 \) \( \text{N} \), and the spring scale reading when the object is completely submerged in water is \( 16.2 \) \( \text{N} \). The density of water is \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \).
Traveling at a speed of 15.9 m/s, the driver of an automobile suddenly locks the wheels by slamming on the brakes. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.659. What is the speed of the automobile after 1.59 s have elapsed? Ignore the effects of air resistance.
A solid sphere is rotating about an axis through its center at a constant rotation rate. Another hollow sphere of the same mass and radius is rotating about its axis through the center at the same rotation rate. Which sphere has a greater rotational kinetic energy?
A golf ball is hit with a golf club. While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance.
An airplane accelerates down a runway at \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). It reaches a final velocity of \( 200 \, \text{m/s} \) until it finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.

The graph above represents the motion of an object traveling in a straight line as a function of time. What is the average speed of the object during the first four seconds?
A pendulum with a period of \( 1 \) \( \text{s} \) on Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is \( g \), is taken to another planet, where its period is \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \). The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is most nearly
A \( 240 \) \( \text{kg} \) block is dropped from \( 3.0 \) meters onto a spring, compresses the spring and comes to rest.
Two blocks made of different materials, connected by a thin cord, slide down a plane ramp inclined at an angle \( \theta = 32^\circ \) above the horizontal. If the coefficients of friction are \( \mu_A = 0.2 \) and \( \mu_B = 0.3 \) and if \( m_A = m_B = 5.0 \) \( \text{kg} \), determine:
A friend is balancing a fork on one finger. Which of the following are correct explanations of how he accomplishes this? Select two answers.
A block with mass \( m \) slides at speed \( v_0 \) on a smooth surface and hits a stationary block with mass \( M \). They stick together and move at speed \( \frac{v_0}{3} \). Find \( M \) in terms of \( m \).
Water balloons are tossed from the roof of a building, all with the same speed but with different launch angles. Which one has the highest speed when it hits the ground? Ignore air resistance. Without using equations, explain your answer.
A car moves forward at a steady \( 10 \) \( \text{m/s} \) for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). The driver slams the brakes and brings it to rest in \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \). Without waiting, the driver immediately accelerates backward (negative velocity) for \( 3 \) \( \text{s} \) until reaching \( 8 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in reverse. Draw the velocity vs. time graph.
A disk of radius 35 cm rotates at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad/s. How fast does a point on the rim of the disk travel (in m/s)?
During projectile motion (neglecting air resistance), what is the vertical acceleration at the highest point, assuming the initial velocity is upwards in the positive direction?
