A force of \(17 \, \text{N}\) is applied to the end of a \(0.63 \, \text{m}\) long torque wrench at an angle \(45^\circ\) from a line joining the pivot point to the handle. What is the magnitude of the torque about the pivot point produced by this force?
You drop a rock off a bridge. When the rock has fallen \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \), you drop a second rock. As the two rocks continue to fall, what happens to their velocities?
Two equal-magnitude forces are applied to a door at the doorknob. The first force is applied perpendicular to the door, and the second force is applied at \( 30^\circ \) to the plane of the door. Which force exerts the greater torque about the door hinge?
A stone is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of \( 20.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \). How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of \( 12.0 \) \( \text{m} \)?
Find the net gravitational force on a \(2.0 \, \text{kg}\) sphere midway between a \(4.0 \, \text{kg}\) sphere and a \(7.0 \, \text{kg}\) sphere that are \(1.2 \, \text{m}\) apart.
The drawing shows the harmonic motion of a mass on a spring at the extremes of its motion. The middle drawing shows the midpoint of travel. Indicate on the drawing (a) the points of greatest and least velocity (b) the points of greatest and least acceleration (c) the points of greatest and least potential \( E \) and kinetic \( E \).
Two satellites are in circular orbits around Earth. Satellite A has speed \(v_A\). Satellite B has an orbital radius nine times that of satellite A. What is the speed of satellite B?
A child slides down a slide with a \( 34^\circ \) incline, and at the bottom her speed is precisely half what it would have been if the slide had been frictionless. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the slide and the child.
Find the downward acceleration of an elevator, given that the ratio of a person’s stationary weight to their weight in the elevator is \(5:4\).
A person with a weight of \( 600 \) \( \text{N} \) stands on a scale in an elevator. What is the acceleration of the elevator when the scale reads \( 900 \) \( \text{N} \)?
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 vehicle is moving at a speed of 12.3 m/s on a decline when the brakes of all four wheels are fully applied, causing them to lock. The slope of the decline forms an angle of 18.0 degrees with the horizontal plane. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road surface is 0.650.
A comet of mass \( m_c = 3.2 \times 10^{14} \) \( \text{kg} \) is orbiting a star with mass \( m_s = 1.8 \times 10^{30} \) \( \text{kg} \). The comet’s orbit is elliptical. At its closest point, the comet is a distance \( r_1 = 8.3 \times 10^{10} \) \( \text{m} \) from the star, and at its farthest point, the comet is a distance \( r_2 = 4.9 \times 10^{11} \) \( \text{m} \) from the star. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the comet as it moves along its orbit from distance \( r_2 \) to distance \( r_1 \) from the star?
The downward motion of an elevator is controlled by a cable that unwinds from a cylinder of radius \( 0.20 \) \( \text{m} \). What is the angular velocity of the cylinder when the downward speed of the elevator is \( 1.2 \) \( \text{m/s} \)?
A person is standing on a railroad station platform when a high-speed train passes by. The person will tend to be

A \(1 \, \text{kg}\) mass and an unknown mass \(M\) hang on opposite sides of a pulley suspended from the ceiling. When the masses are released, \(M\) accelerates downward at \(5 \, \text{m/s}^2\). Find the value of \(M\).
A rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically upward with an acceleration of \( 12.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). At an altitude of \( 1.00 \, \text{km} \), the rocket engine cuts off. Drag is negligible.
A diver descends from a salvage ship to the ocean floor at a depth of \(35 \text{ m}\) below the surface. The density of ocean water is \(1.025 \times 10^3 \text{ kg/m}^3\).
A rod may freely rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to the rod and is along the plane of the page. The rod is divided into four sections of equal length of 0.2 m each, and four forces are exerted on the rod, as shown in the figure. Frictional forces are considered negligible. Which of the following describes an additional torque that must be applied in order to keep the rod from rotating?
A linear spring of force constant \( k \) is used in a physics lab experiment. A block of mass \( m \) is attached to the spring and the resulting frequency, \( f \), of the simple harmonic oscillations is measured. Blocks of various masses are used in different trials, and in each case, the corresponding frequency is measured and recorded. If \( f^{2} \) is plotted versus \( \frac{1}{m} \), the graph will be a straight line with slope
A student places a wooden block of mass \( m \) in a container of water. The block floats with half of its volume above the surface of the water. The student then begins to stack small objects on top of the block until the wooden block is completely submerged but none of the objects stacked on top are submerged. What is the buoyant force acting on the block now?
A pendulum bob of mass \(m\) on a cord of length \(L\) is pulled sideways until the cord makes an angle \(\theta\) with the vertical. The change in potential energy of the bob during the displacement is:
