The first \(10 \, \text{meters}\) of a \(100 \, \text{meter}\) dash are covered in \(2 \, \text{seconds}\) by a sprinter who starts from rest and accelerates with a constant acceleration. The remaining \(90 \, \text{meters}\) are run with the same velocity the sprinter had after \(2 \, \text{seconds}\).
At time \( t = 0 \), a cart is at \( x = 10 \, \text{m} \) and has a velocity of \( 3 \, \text{m/s} \) in the \( -x \) direction. The cart has a constant acceleration in the \( +x \) direction with magnitude \( 3 \, \text{m/s}^2 < a < 6 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). Which of the following gives the possible range of the position of the cart at \( t = 1 \, \text{s} \)?
A block is attached to a horizontal spring and is initially at rest at the equilibrium position \( x = 0 \), as shown in Figure \( 1 \). The block is then moved to position \( x = -A \), as shown in Figure \( 2 \), and released from rest, undergoing simple harmonic motion. At the instant the block reaches position \( x = +A \), another identical block is dropped onto and sticks to the block, as shown in Figure \( 3 \). The two–block–spring system then continues to undergo simple harmonic motion. Which of the following correctly compares the total mechanical energy \( E_{\text{tot},2} \) of the two–block–spring system after the collision to the total mechanical energy \( E_{\text{tot},1} \) of the one–block–spring system before the collision?

A person’s center of mass is easily found by having the person lie on a reaction board. A horizontal, \( 2.3 \) \( \text{m} \)-long, \( 6.1 \) \( \text{kg} \) reaction board is supported only at the ends, with one end resting on a scale and the other on a pivot. A \( 64 \) \( \text{kg} \) woman lies on the reaction board with her feet over the pivot. The scale reads \( 27 \) \( \text{kg} \). What is the distance from the woman’s feet to her center of mass? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A \(25 \, \text{g}\) steel ball is attached to the top of a \(24 \, \text{cm}\)-diameter vertical wheel of negligible mass. Starting from rest, the wheel accelerates at \(470 \, \text{rad/s}^2\). The ball is released after \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a revolution. How high does it go above the center of the wheel?
A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed of the boat will
A skier with a mass of \(58 \, \text{kg}\) glides up a snowy incline that forms an angle of \(28^\circ\) with the horizontal. The skier initially moves at a speed of \(7.2 \, \text{m/s}\). After traveling a distance of \(2.3 \, \text{m}\) up the slope, the skier’s speed reduces to \(3.8 \, \text{m/s}\).
Ball A is dropped from the top of a cliff. At the same time, Ball B is thrown straight upward from the ground at \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \). The two balls pass each other after \( 2.0 \) \( \text{s} \).
A pendulum has a period of \(2.0 \, \text{s}\) on Earth. What is its length?
Consider a neutron star with a mass equal to the sun, a radius of 10 km, and a rotation period of 1.0 s. What is the radius of a geosynchronous orbit about the neutron star? The mass of the sun can be found in the formula sheet above.
A teacher walks the following path in \( 10 \) \( \text{s} \): \( 2 \) \( \text{m} \) south, \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \) east, \( 2 \) \( \text{m} \) north, \( 4 \) \( \text{m} \) west. What is the teacher’s average velocity?
If a baseball pitch leaves the pitcher’s hand horizontally at a velocity of \( 150 \) \( \text{km/h} \), by what \( \% \) will the pull of gravity change the magnitude of the velocity when the ball reaches the batter, \( 18 \) \( \text{m} \) away? For this estimate, ignore air resistance and spin on the ball.
Water circulates throughout a house in a hot water heating system. If the water is pumped at a speed of \( 0.5 \) \( \frac{\text{m}}{\text{s}} \) through a \( 2 \) \( \text{cm} \) diameter pipe in the basement under a pressure of \( 3 \) \( \text{atm} \), what will be the flow speed and pressure in a \( 1.3 \) \( \text{cm} \) diameter pipe on the second floor \( 5 \) \( \text{m} \) above?
A baseball rolls off a 0.70 m high desk and strikes the floor 0.25 m away from the base of the desk. How fast was the ball rolling?
A seesaw is balanced on a fulcrum, with a boy of mass \( M_1 \) sitting on one end and a girl of mass \( M_2 \) sitting on the other end. The seesaw is a uniform plank of length \( L \) and mass \( M \). The fulcrum is located at the midpoint of the plank. Does \( M_1 = M_2 \)? Justify your working.
A wheel 31 cm in diameter accelerates uniformly from 240rpm to 360rpm in 6.8 s. How far will a point on the edge of the wheel have traveled in this time?
A mass is attached to a spring of spring constant 60 N/m along a horizontal, frictionless surface. The spring is initially stretched by a force of 5.0 N and let go. It takes the mass 0.50 s to go back to its equilibrium position when it is oscillating. What is the amplitude?
A disk increases from 2 complete revolutions in 2 seconds to 5 complete revolutions in 2 seconds. What is its average angular acceleration?
Pulleys \( X \) and \( Y \) are each attached to a block by a string that wraps around the pulley. Both blocks are released and have the same linear acceleration \( a \). As the blocks fall, the pulleys rotate about their centers. Pulley \( Y \) has a larger radius than Pulley \( X \). How does the angular acceleration \( \alpha_X \) of Pulley \( X \) compare to the angular acceleration \( \alpha_Y \) of Pulley \( Y \)?
Consider a uniform hoop of radius \( R \) and mass \( M \) rolling without slipping. Which is larger, its translational kinetic energy or its rotational kinetic energy? Hint: The moment of inertia of a uniform hoop is \(I = M R^2\)
A crane’s trolley at point \( P \) moves for a few seconds to the right with constant acceleration, and the \( 870 \, \text{kg} \) load hangs on a light cable at a \( 5^\circ \) angle to the vertical as shown. What is the acceleration of the trolley and load?
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.
A cart begins to move from rest on a horizontal track. Which of the following correctly indicates the magnitude of the average velocity of the cart during the interval shown and provides a valid explanation?
Hint: when solving this, its consider that the area of the acceleration vs time graph tells you the change in velocity.
