The figure shows a graph of the position \(x\) of two cars, \(C\) and \(D\), as a function of time \(t\). According to this graph, which statements about these cars must be true? (There could be more than one correct choice.)
A \(0.025 \, \text{kg}\) golf ball moving at \(18.0 \, \text{m/s}\) crashes through the window of a house in \(5.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{s}\). After the crash, the ball continues in the same direction with a speed of \(10.0 \, \text{m/s}\).
Which graph below shows that one of the runners started 10 meters further ahead of the other? Assume the y-axis is measured in meters and the x-axis is measured in seconds.
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?
Two balls are launched at the same speed. Ball A is launched at an angle of \( 45^{\circ} \) and Ball B is launched at an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \). Which one reaches a higher point?
When a horizontal force of \( 4.5 \, \text{N} \) acts on a block on a resistance-free surface, it produces an acceleration of \( 2.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Suppose a second \( 4.0 \, \text{kg} \) block is dropped onto the first. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the combination if the same force continues to act? Assume that the second block does not slide on the first block.
Two satellites of equal mass, \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), orbit the Earth. \( S_1 \) is orbiting at a distance \( r \) from the Earth’s center at speed \( v \). \( S_2 \) orbits at a distance \( 2r \) from the Earth’s centre at speed \( \dfrac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \). The ratio of the centripetal force on \( S_1 \) to the centripetal force on \( S_2 \) is
A compressed spring mounted on a disk can project a small ball. When the disk is not rotating, as shown in the top view above, the ball moves radially outward. The disk then rotates in a counterclockwise direction as seen from above, and the ball is projected outward at the instant the disk is in the position shown above. Which of the following best shows the subsequent path of the ball relative to the ground?
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.
In lacrosse, a typical throw is made by rotating the stick through an angle of roughly \(90^\circ\), then releasing the ball when the stick is vertical, as shown above. If the \(1 \, \text{meter}\) long stick is at rest when horizontal and the ball leaves the stick with a velocity of \(10 \, \text{m/s}\), what angular acceleration must the stick experience?
A car suddenly stops and a passenger lurches forward. This motion is best explained by Newton’s ____ Law.
An object is moving to the west at a constant speed. Three forces are exerted on the object. One force is \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) directed due north, and another is \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) directed due west. What is the magnitude and direction of the third force if the object is to continue moving to the west at a constant speed?
An airplane of weight \( W \) is flying horizontally with constant velocity. The total forward thrust of the engines is \( 3W \). What is the magnitude of the force of air on the plane in terms of \( W \)?
A linear spring of force constant \( k \) is used in a physics lab experiment. A block of mass \( m \) is attached to the spring and the resulting frequency, \( f \), of the simple harmonic oscillations is measured. Blocks of various masses are used in different trials, and in each case, the corresponding frequency is measured and recorded. If \( f^{2} \) is plotted versus \( \frac{1}{m} \), the graph will be a straight line with slope
By pressing a painting of mass \( 2.00 \) \( \text{kg} \) against a wall, a man is trying to determine whether it is appropriately positioned. The wall is perpendicular to the pushing force. The coefficient of static friction between the image and the wall is \( 0.660 \). What is the bare minimum pushing force that must be applied?
