The graph represents the position \( x \) as a function of time \( t \) for an object undergoing simple harmonic motion. Which of the following equations could represent the position \( x \) as a function of time \( t \)?
Barry Bonds hits a \(125 \,\text{m}\) home run. Assuming that the ball left the bat at an angle of \(45^\circ\) from the horizontal, calculate how long the ball was in the air.
A car can decelerate at \( -3.80 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) without skidding when coming to rest on a level road. What would its deceleration be if the road is inclined at \( 9.3^\circ \) and the car moves uphill? Assume the same static friction coefficient.
You are working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar toward you, it moves a distance of 1.25 m in a time of 0.84 s. The readout on the display indicates that the average power you are producing is 76 W. What is the magnitude of the force that you exert on the handle?
The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of \( 5.0 \) \( \text{rev/s} \) in \( 8.0 \) \( \text{s} \). At this point, the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub slows to rest in \( 12.0 \) \( \text{s} \). Through how many revolutions does the tub turn during the entire \( 20 \)-s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.
Which statements are not valid for a projectile? Take up as positive.
Flywheels (rapidly rotating disks) are widely used in industry for storing energy. They are spun up slowly when extra energy is available, then decelerate quickly when needed to supply a boost of energy. A flywheel, \( 20 \, \text{cm}\) in diameter can spin at \( 20 \, \text{rpm}\).
There are two cables that lift an elevator, each with a force of 10,000 N. The 1,000 kg elevator is lifted from the first floor and accelerates over 10 m until it reaches its top speed of 6 m/s. What is the mass of the people in the elevator?
The diagram above shows a top view of a child of mass \(M\) on a circular platform of mass \(2M\) that is rotating counterclockwise. Assume the platform rotates without friction. Which of the following describes an action by the child that will increase the angular speed of the platform-child system and gives the correct reason why?
A car is driving at \(25 \, \text{m/s}\) when a light turns red \(100 \, \text{m}\) ahead. The driver takes an unknown amount of time to react and hit the brakes, but manages to skid to a stop at the red light. If \(\mu_s = 0.9\) and \(\mu_k = 0.65\), what was the reaction time of the driver?
A solid sphere of mass [katex] 1.5 \, \text{kg} [/katex] and radius [katex] 15 \, \text{cm} [/katex] rolls without slipping down a [katex] 35^\circ[/katex] incline that is [katex] 7 \, \text{m} [/katex] long. Assume it started from rest. The moment of inertia of a sphere is [katex] I= \frac{2}{5}MR^2 [/katex].
