You stand at the edge of a vertical cliff and throws a stone vertically upwards. The stone leaves your hand with a speed v = 8.0 m/s. The time between the stone leaving your hand and hitting the sea is 3.0 s. Assume air resistance is negligible. Calculate:
A \(25 \, \text{g}\) steel ball is attached to the top of a \(24 \, \text{cm}\)-diameter vertical wheel of negligible mass. Starting from rest, the wheel accelerates at \(470 \, \text{rad/s}^2\). The ball is released after \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a revolution. How high does it go above the center of the wheel?
Two students hold a large bed sheet vertically between them. A third student, who happens to be the star pitcher on the school baseball team, throws a raw egg at the center of the sheet. Explain why the egg does not break when it hits the sheet, regardless of its initial speed.
A \(0.10 \, \text{kg}\) ball, traveling horizontally at \(25 \, \text{m/s}\), strikes a wall and rebounds at \(19 \, \text{m/s}\). What is the magnitude of the change in the momentum of the ball during the rebound?
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?
A ladder at rest is leaning against a wall at an angle. Which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor?
An object moves at constant speed in a circular path of radius \( r \) at a rate of \( 1 \) revolution per second. What is its acceleration in terms of \(r\)?
A ski tow carries people to the top of a nearby mountain. It operates on a slope of angle \( 15.7^\circ \) of length \( 260 \) \( \text{m} \). The rope moves at a speed of \( 13.0 \) \( \text{km/h} \) and provides power for \( 54 \) riders at one time, with an average mass per rider of \( 67.0 \) \( \text{kg} \).

A beaker weighing \( 2.0 \) \( \text{N} \) is filled with \( 5.0 \times 10^{-3} \) \( \text{m}^3 \) of water. A rubber ball weighing \( 3.0 \) \( \text{N} \) is held entirely underwater by a massless string attached to the bottom of the beaker, as represented in the figure above. The tension in the string is \( 4.0 \) \( \text{N} \). The water fills the beaker to a depth of \( 0.20 \) \( \text{m} \). Water has a density of \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). The effects of atmospheric pressure may be neglected.

The axle (the black dot) in Figure 1 is half the distance from the center to the rim. Suppose \( d = 30 \) \( \text{cm} \). What is the torque that the axle must apply to prevent the disk from rotating? Express your answer in newton-meters. Use positive value for the counterclockwise torque and negative value for the clockwise torque.
A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 21 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-third its dry road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?
The angular velocity of a rotating disk of radius \(20 \, \text{cm}\) increases from \(1 \, \text{rad/s}\) to \(3 \, \text{rad/s}\) in \(0.5 \, \text{s}\). What is the linear tangential acceleration of a point on the rim of the disk during this time interval?
Find the approximate minimum mass needed for a spherical ball with a \(40\) \(\text{cm}\) radius to sink in a liquid of density \(1.4 \times 10^3\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\). Use \(9.8 \text{m/s}^2\) for \(g\).
A karate master is about to split a piece of wood with her hand. Select all she must do in order to deliver the maximum force to split the wood.
An object undergoing simple harmonic motion has a maximum displacement of \(6.2\) \(\text{m}\) at \(t = 0.0\) \(\text{s}\). If the angular frequency of oscillation is \(1.6\) \(\text{rad/s}\), what is the object’s displacement when \(t = 3.5\) \(\text{s}\)?
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 kickball is rolled by the pitcher at a speed of 10 m/s and it is kicked by another student. The kickball deforms a little during the kick, and then rebounds with a velocity of 15 m/s as its shape restores to a perfect sphere. Select all that must be true about the kickball and the kicking foot system.

Which statement is true about the distances the two objects have traveled at time \( t_f \)?

You have a giant cask of water with a spigot some height below the water surface. The surface of the water, which is essentially at rest, is exposed to atmosphere (\( \approx 10^5 \text{Pa} \)). The water density is \( \approx 1000 \text{kg/m}^3 \). The water pours out of the spigot at \( 3 \text{m/s} \). How far below the water surface is the spigot positioned?
A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed of the boat
A cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis) of mass \( 3.80 \times 10^{-2} \) \( \text{kg} \) and a baseball of mass \( 0.150 \) \( \text{kg} \) have the same kinetic energy. What is the ratio of the cardinal’s magnitude \( p_c \) of momentum to the magnitude \( p_b \) of the baseball’s momentum?
