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 \( m \).
A meter stick with a uniformly distributed mass of \(0.5 \, \text{kg}\) is supported by a pivot placed at the \(0.25 \, \text{m}\) mark from the left. At the left end, a small object of mass \(1.0 \, \text{kg}\) is placed at the zero mark, and a second small object of mass \(0.5 \, \text{kg}\) is placed at the \(0.5 \, \text{m}\) mark. The meter stick is supported so that it remains horizontal, and then it is released from rest. Find the change in the angular momentum of the meter stick, one second after it is released.
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 piece of metal of weight \(W\) is suspended by two identical strings. Each string passes through a pulley and is attached to a block of mass \(m\) . The system is in equilibrium.What must be true for \(m\) such that the two strings attached to the piece of metal are almost horizontal.
A box is sliding down an incline at a constant speed of \( 2 \) \( \text{m s}^{-1} \). The angle of the incline is \( \theta \). The magnitude of the total of the opposing forces is \( 16 \) \( \text{N} \). What is the force of gravity acting on the box?
The side of an above-ground pool is punctured, and water gushes out through the hole. If the total depth of the pool is \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \), and the puncture is \( 1 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground level, what is the efflux speed of the water?
Wanda watches the fish in her fish tank and notices that the angelfish like to feed at the water’s surface, while the catfish feed \( 0.300 \) \( \text{m} \) below at the bottom of the tank. If the average density of the water in the tank is \( 1000. \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \), what is the pressure on the catfish?
A blue sphere and a red sphere with the same diameter are released from rest at the top of a ramp. The red sphere takes a longer time to reach the bottom of the ramp. The spheres are then rolled off a horizontal table at the same time with the same speed and fall freely to the floor. Which sphere reaches the floor first?
A \( 35 \) \( \text{kg} \) suitcase rests on a luggage‑loading ramp inclined \( 30.0^\circ \) above the horizontal. To keep it from sliding, a baggage‑handler pushes straight into the ramp (perpendicular to the surface) with a force of \( 45 \) \( \text{N} \). Find the coefficient of static friction \( \mu_s \) between the suitcase and the ramp.
A solid plastic cube with uniform density (side length = \(0.5\) \(\text{m}\)) of mass \(100\) \(\text{kg}\) is placed in a vat of fluid whose density is \(1200\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\). What fraction of the cube’s volume floats above the surface of the fluid?
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?
If I weigh \( 741 \) \( \text{N} \) on Earth at a place where \( g = 9.80 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \) and \( 5320 \) \( \text{N} \) on the surface of another planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?
A ball is attached to the end of a string. It is swung in a vertical circle of radius \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \). What is the minimum velocity that the ball must have at the top to make it around the circle?
Water flowing in a horizontal pipe speeds up as it goes from a section with a large diameter to a section with a small diameter. Which of the following can explain why the speed of the water increases?
Three pendulums are set in motion, oscillating through small amplitudes. Each has the same mass. Rank the period of the pendulums from shortest to longest.
A \(2 \, \text{kg}\) ball is swung in a vertical circle. The length of the string the ball is attached to is \(0.7 \, \text{m}\). It takes \(0.4 \, \text{s}\) for the ball to travel one revolution (assume the ball travels at constant speed).
A runner pushes against the track to sprint forward. Which two action–reaction FORCE pairs are involved? Select two letters.
A lighter car and a heavier truck, each traveling to the right with the same speed [katex] v [/katex] hit their brakes. The retarding frictional force F on both cars turns out to be constant and the same. After both vehicles travel a distance [katex] D [/katex] (and both are still moving), which of the following statements is true?
