A typical \( 68 \)\(-\text{kg} \) person can maintain a steady energy expenditure of \( 480 \) \( \text{W} \) on a bicycle. Approximately how many Calories are “burned” when the person rides a bicycle for \( 15 \) minutes? A typical energy efficiency for the human body is \( 25\% \), which takes into account the release of thermal energy.
A skier is accelerating down a \( 30.0^{\circ} \) hill at \( 3.80 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \).
A cart is initially moving at 0.5 m/s along a track. The cart comes to rest after traveling 1 m. The experiment is repeated on the same track, but now the cart is initially moving at 1 m/s. How far does the cart travel before coming to rest?
A neighbor’s child wants to go to a carnival to experience the wild rides. The neighbor is worried about safety because one of the rides looks particularly dangerous. She knows that you have taken physics and so asks you for advice.
The ride in question has a 4 kg chair which hangs freely from a 10 m long chain attached to a pivot on the top of a tall tower. When the child enters the ride, the chain is hanging straight down. The child is then attached to the chair with a seat belt and shoulder harness. When the ride starts up, the chain rotates about the tower. Soon the chain reaches its maximum speed and remains rotating at that speed, which corresponds to one rotation about the tower every 3 seconds.
When you ask the operator, he says the ride is perfectly safe. He demonstrates this by sitting in the stationary chair. The chain creaks but holds, and he weighs 90 kg.
The system above is NOT balanced since \(m_2\) is twice the mass of \(m_1\). Which of the following changes would NOT balance the system so that there is 0 net torque? Assume the plank has no mass of its own.
A curve with a radius of \( 125 \) \( \text{m} \) is properly banked for a car traveling \( 40 \) \( \text{m/s} \). What must be the coefficient of static friction \( (\mu_s) \) for a car not to skid on the same curve when traveling at \( 53 \) \( \text{m/s} \)?
A \( 50 \) \( \text{g} \) ice cube can slide up and down a frictionless \( 30^{\circ}\) slope. At the bottom, a spring with spring constant \( 25 \) \( \text{N/m} \) is compressed \( 10 \) \( \text{cm} \) and is used to launch the ice cube up the slope. How high does it go above its starting point? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A car travels at a constant speed around a circular track whose radius is 2.6 km. the car goes once around the track in 360 s. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car?
A bald eagle in level flight at a height of \(135 \, \text{m}\) drops the fish it caught. If the eagle’s speed is \(25.0 \, \text{m/s}\) how far from the drop point will the fish land?
A 2.0 kg ball on the end of a 0.65 m long string is moving in a vertical circle. At the bottom of the circle, its speed is 4.0 m/s. Find the tension in the string.
An arrow is shot horizontally from a distance of \( 20 \, \text{m} \) away. It lands \( 0.05 \, \text{m} \) below the center of the target. If air resistance is negligible, what was the initial speed of the arrow?
A block attached to spring demonstrates simple harmonic motion about its equilibrium position with amplitude [katex] A [/katex] and angular frequency [katex] \omega [/katex]. What is the maximum magnitude of the block’s velocity?
