A Christmas ornament made from a thin hollow glass sphere hangs from a thin wire of negligible mass. It is observed to oscillates with a frequency of \( 2.50 \) \( \text{Hz} \) in a city where \( g = 9.80 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the radius of the ornament? The moment of inertia of the ornament is given by \( I = \frac{5}{3} mr^2 \).
A \(2\)-N force is used to push a small piston \(10\) \(\text{cm}\) downward in a simple hydraulic machine. If the opposite large piston rises by \(0.5\) \(\text{cm}\), what is the maximum weight the large piston can lift?
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to [katex] 29.4 [/katex] m/s in [katex] 6.93 [/katex] s along a level stretch of road. Ignoring friction, determine the average power in both watts and horsepower ([katex] 1 \text{ horsepower} = 745.7 \text{ Watts} [/katex]) required to accelerate the car if:
In an experiment where a constant horizontal force pulls on a box across a rough floor starting from rest, what would happen to the acceleration of the box if its mass were doubled but the pulling force remained unchanged?
Priscilla the Penguin stands at the edge of a rock ledge and tosses a small ice cube directly upward with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \). The ice cube’s initial height above the ground is \( 3.25 \, \text{m} \), and it reaches its maximum height above the ground \( 0.586 \, \text{s} \) after being thrown. The ice cube then plummets to the ground, missing the edge of the rock ledge on its way down.
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 solid sphere, solid cylinder, and a hollow pipe all have equal masses and radii. If the three of them are released simultaneously at the top of an inclined plane and do not slip, which one will reach the bottom first? [katex] I_{sphere} = \frac{2}{5}MR^2[/katex], [katex] I_{cylinder} = \frac{1}{2}MR^2[/katex], [katex] I_{pipe} = MR^2[/katex]

A runner is moving at \( 4 \) \( \text{m/s} \). She is opposed by magic in the form of air resistance, which exerts a constant \( 20 \) \( \text{Newtons} \) force in the direction opposite her velocity. At what rate is she using energy to remain at constant velocity?
An object is suspended from a spring scale first in air, then in water, as shown in the figure above. The spring scale reading in air is \( 17.8 \) \( \text{N} \), and the spring scale reading when the object is completely submerged in water is \( 16.2 \) \( \text{N} \). The density of water is \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \).
On a harsh winter day, a \( 1500 \) \( \text{kg} \) vehicle takes a circular banked exit ramp (radius \( R = 150 \) \( \text{m} \); banking angle of \( 10^\circ \)) at a speed of \( 30 \) \( \text{mph} \), since the speed limit is \( 35 \) \( \text{mph} \). However, the exit ramp is completely iced up (frictionless). To make matters worse, a wind is blowing parallel to the ramp in a downward direction. The wind exerts a force of \( 3000 \) \( \text{N} \). Under these conditions, can the driver continue to follow a safe horizontal circle on the exit ramp and stay below the speed limit?
To convert \( \text{mph} \) into \( \text{m/s} \), use \( 1 \) \( \text{mi} = 1607 \) \( \text{m} \) and \( 1 \) \( \text{hr} = 3600 \) \( \text{s} \).
A box of mass \(m\) is initially at rest at the top of a ramp that is at an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. The block is at a height \(h\) and length \(L\) from the bottom of the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is \(\mu\). What is the kinetic energy of the box at the bottom of the ramp?
Which pair of quantities will always have the same magnitude if motion is in a straight line and in one direction?
A uniform solid cylinder of mass [katex] M [/katex] and radius [katex] R [/katex] is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is attached to the cylinder and is wrapped around it. The string is then pulled with a constant force [katex] F [/katex] , causing the cylinder to rotate about its center of mass. After the cylinder has rotated through an angle [katex] \theta [/katex], what is the kinetic energy of the cylinder in terms of [katex] F [/katex] and [katex] \theta [/katex]?
