Measurements made in 1910 indicate that the common flea is an impressive jumper, given its size. Assume that a flea’s initial speed is 2.1 m/s, and that it leaps at an angle of 21° with respect to the horizontal. The jump lasts 0.16 s.
The graph above shows velocity as a function of time for an object moving along a straight line. For which of the following sections of the graph is the acceleration constant and nonzero?
A bullet of mass \(0.0500 \, \text{kg}\) traveling at \(50.0 \, \text{m/s}\) is fired horizontally into a wooden block suspended from a long rope. The mass of the wooden block is \(0.300 \, \text{kg}\) and it is initially at rest. The collision is completely inelastic and after impact the bullet + wooden block move together until the center of mass of the system rises a vertical distance \(h\) above its initial position.
A ice skater that is spinning in circles has an initial rotational inertia Ii. You can approximate her shape to be a cylinder. She is spinning with velocity ωi. As she extends her arms she her rotational inertia changes by a factor of x and her angular velocity changes by a factor of y. Which one of the following options best describe x and y.
A \(1.5 \, \text{kg}\) object is located at a distance of \(1.7 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m}\) from the center of a larger object whose mass is \(7.4 \times 10^{22} \, \text{kg}\).
A stone hangs by a fine thread from the ceiling, and a section of the same thread dangles from the bottom of the stone. If a person gives a sharp pull on the dangling thread, where is the thread likely to break: below the stone or above it? What if the person gives a slow and steady pull?
A \(70 \, \text{kg}\) woman and her \(35 \, \text{kg}\) son are standing at rest on an ice rink. They push against each other for a time of \(0.60 \, \text{s}\), causing them to glide apart. The speed of the woman immediately after they separate is \(0.55 \, \text{m/s}\). Assume that during the push, friction is negligible compared with the forces the people exert on each other.

A \(0.50 \, \text{kg}\) mass is attached to a spring constant \(20 \, \text{N/m}\) along a horizontal, frictionless surface. The object oscillates in simple harmonic motion and has a speed of \(1.5 \, \text{m/s}\) at the equilibrium position. What is the total energy of the system?

An object at rest suddenly explodes into two fragments (\(m_1\) and \(m_2\)) by an explosion. Fragment \(m_1\) acquires \(3\) times the kinetic energy of the other. What is the ratio of \(m_1\) to \(m_2\)?
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?
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 planet of constant mass orbits the sun in an elliptical orbit. Neglecting any friction effects, what happens to the planet’s rotational kinetic energy about the sun’s center?
A student is designing an experiment to find the spring constant \( k \) of a spring using only a set of known masses and a stopwatch. Which procedure would work?
The coefficient of static friction between hard rubber and normal street pavement is about \(0.85\). On how steep a hill (maximum angle) can you leave a car parked?
A 0.5 kg pendulum bob is raised to 1.0 m above the floor, as shown in the figure. The bob is then released from rest. When the bob is 0.8 m above the floor, its speed is most nearly
Why does a child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward?
A car travels east at a steady \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \) for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). What is its acceleration during this motion?
The speed of a \(40 \, \text{N}\) hockey puck, sliding across a level ice surface, decreases at the rate of \(0.61 \, \text{m/s}^2\). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and ice is
Two students start \( 100 \) \( \text{m} \) apart.
• Student A walks to the right at \( 2 \) \( \text{m/s} \).
• Student B walks to the left at \( 3 \) \( \text{m/s} \).
At what time do the students meet, and how far has each student walked when they collide?
