If an object is moving, is it possible for the net force acting on it to be zero? Explain.
A centrifuge in a medical laboratory is rotating at an angular speed of \( 3600 \) \( \text{rev/min} \). When switched off, it rotates \( 50.0 \) times before coming to rest. Find the constant angular deceleration of the centrifuge.
A rocket launches upward by expelling exhaust gases downward. This is an illustration of Newton’s ____ Law.
A projectile is launched at an angle of \( 30^{\circ} \) and hits a vertical wall \( 40 \) \( \text{m} \) away. After bouncing back horizontally, it lands \( 15 \) \( \text{m} \) behind the launch point. How high up on the wall did the projectile strike?
A projectile is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) and lands \( 35 \) \( \text{m} \) away on level ground. At what two horizontal positions is the projectile exactly \( 5.0 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground?
A \(2 \, \text{kg}\) model rocket is launched with a thrust force of \(275 \, \text{N}\) and reaches a height of \(90 \, \text{m}\), at which point the thrust cuts out, but the rocket continues moving at \(150 \, \text{m/s}\). What is the average air resistance force acting on the rocket during its ascent?
The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of \( 250 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). What force must be applied to the small piston with a radius of \( 25 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) in order to raise a car of mass \( 1500 \) \( \text{kg} \)?
A \(3300 \, \text{m}\)-high mountain is located on the equator. How much faster does a climber on top of the mountain move than a surfer at a nearby beach? The Earth’s radius is \(6400 \, \text{km}\) and the Earth’s mass is \(5.97 \times 10^{24} \, \text{kg}\).
A race car traveling at a constant speed of \( 50 \) \( \text{m/s} \) drives around a circular track that is \( 500 \) \( \text{m} \) in diameter. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the car?
A \(6 \, \text{kg}\) cube rests against a compressed spring with a force constant of \(1{,}800 \, \text{N/m}\), initially compressed by \(0.3 \, \text{m}\). Upon release, the cube slides on a horizontal surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of \(\mu_k = 0.12\) for \(3 \, \text{m}\), then ascends a \(12^\circ\) slope, stopping after \(4.5 \, \text{m}\). Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction on the slope.
Which of the following graphs represent an object having zero acceleration?
A textbook is launched up with a speed of 20 m/s, at an angle of 36°, from a 12 m high roof.
A train consists of \(50\) cars, each of which has a mass of \(6.1 \times 10^{3} \, \text{kg}\). The train has an acceleration of \(8.0 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m/s}^2\). Ignore friction and determine the tension in the coupling at the following places:

A Venturi meter is a device used for measuring the speed of a fluid within a pipe. The drawing shows a gas flowing at a speed \( v_2 \) through a horizontal section of pipe with a cross-sectional area \( A_2 = 542 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). The gas has a density of \( 1.35 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). The Venturi meter has a cross-sectional area of \( A_1 = 215 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) and has been substituted for a section of the larger pipe. The pressure difference between the two sections \( P_2 – P_1 = 145 \) \( \text{Pa} \).
You are a bungee jumping fanatic and want to be the first bungee jumper on Jupiter. The length of your bungee cord is \( 45.0 \) \( \text{m} \). Free fall acceleration on Jupiter is \( 23.1 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the ratio of your speed on Jupiter to your speed on Earth when you have dropped \( 45 \) \( \text{m} \)? Ignore the effects of air resistance and assume that you start at rest.
A particle moves along the x-axis with an acceleration of \( a = 18t \), where \( a \) has units of \( \text{m/s}^2 \). If the particle at time \( t = 0 \) is at the origin with a velocity of \( -12 \, \text{m/s} \), what is its position at \( t = 4.0 \, \text{s} \)? Note this requires calculus to solve.
A uniform solid cylinder of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \) is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is attached to the cylinder and is wrapped around it. The string is then pulled with a constant force \( F \) , causing the cylinder to rotate about its center of mass. After the cylinder has rotated through an angle \( \theta \), what is the kinetic energy of the cylinder in terms of \( F \) and \( \theta \)?
Consider the following cases of inelastic collisions.
Case (1) – A car moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) collides with another car of equal mass moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) in the opposite direction and comes to a stop.
Case (2) A car moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) hits a stationary steel wall and rolls back.
The collision time is the same for both cases. In which of these cases would result in the greatest impact force?
Find the escape speed from a planet of mass \(6.89 \times 10^{25} \, \text{kg}\) and radius \(6.2 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m}\).
A \(2.2 \times 10^{21} \, \text{kg}\) moon orbits a distant planet in a circular orbit of radius \(1.5 \times 10^8 \, \text{m}\). It experiences a \(1.1 \times 10^{19} \, \text{N}\) gravitational pull from the planet. What is the moon’s orbital period in Earth days?
A box of mass \( 20 \) \( \text{kg} \) moves to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of \( 4.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \). The box collides with and remains attached to one end of a spring of negligible mass whose other end is fixed to a wall. After the collision, the spring compresses a maximum distance of \( 0.50 \) \( \text{m} \), and the box then oscillates back and forth.
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 mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 60 N/m along a horizontal, frictionless surface. The spring is initially stretched by a force of 5.0 N and let go. It takes the mass 0.50 s to go back to its equilibrium position when it is oscillating. What is the amplitude?
