A 5.5 kg block slides down a 30º incline that is 2.2 m long. If µ = 0.20, what is the acceleration of the block?
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 car travels at \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) for 5 minutes and then travels another 2 km at \( 40 \, \text{m/s} \). What is the total distance traveled and time of travel for the car?
A train consists of 50 cars, each of which has a mass of 6.1 x 103 kg. The train has an acceleration of 8.0 × 10-2 m/s2?. Ignore friction and determine the tension in the coupling at the following places:
An airplane accelerates down a runway at \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). It reaches a final velocity of \( 200 \, \text{m/s} \) until it finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
A child of mass 3 kg rotates on a platform of 10 kg. They start walking towards the center while the platform is rotating. Which of the following could possibly decrease the total angular momentum of the child-platform system?
Find the downwards acceleration of an elevator, given that the ratio of a person’s stationary weight to their weight in the elevator is 5:4.
A [katex] 2 \, \text{kg}[/katex] mass is attached to a spring with spring constant [katex] k = 100 \, \text{N/m}[/katex] and negligible mass.
The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. Because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. Any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. Suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample.
If the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 60000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?
A pool cue ball, mass 0.7 kg, is traveling at 2 m/s when it collides head on with another ball, mass 0.5 kg, traveling in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.2 m/s. After the collision, the cue ball travels in the opposite direction at 0.3 m/s. What is the velocity of the other ball?
Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. Answer the following:
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?
