A 1.0-kg object is moving with a velocity of 6.0 m/s to the right. It collides and sticks to a 2.0-kg object moving with a velocity of 3.0 m/s in the same direction. How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?
Which pair of quantities will always have the same magnitude if motion is in a straight line and in one direction?
A car traveling to the right with a speed \( v \) brakes to a stop in a distance \( d \). What is the work done on the car by the frictional force \( F \)? (Assume that the frictional force is constant)
A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude \(23 \, \text{N}\) on the free end of the crank handle on the ice-cream maker, and this end moves on a circular path of radius \(0.25 \, \text{m}\). The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every \(1.7 \, \text{s}\), what is the average power being expended?
A block is given a brief push so that it slides up a ramp. After the block reaches its highest point, it slides back down, but the magnitude of its acceleration is less on the descent than on the ascent. Why?
A car is driving to the right at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \). A motorcycle starts \( 30 \) \( \text{m} \) behind the car and is moving at \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in the same direction.
How does the time t1 of a block m reaching the bottom of slide 1 compare with t2, the time taken block of mass 2m to reach the end of slide 2 that’s curved? The blocks are released from the same height.
A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of \( 4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) for a time of \( 6.8 \, \text{s} \). The car then slows to a stop with an acceleration of \( 5.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the total distance traveled by the car?
A linear spring of negligible mass requires a force of \( 18.0 \, \text{N} \) to cause its length to increase by \( 1.0 \, \text{cm} \). A sphere of mass \( 75.0 \, \text{g} \) is then attached to one end of the spring. The distance between the center of the sphere \( M \) and the other end \( P \) of the un-stretched spring is \( 25.0 \, \text{cm} \). Then the sphere begins rotating at constant speed in a horizontal circle around the center \( P \). The distance \( P \) and \( M \) increases to \( 26.5 \, \text{cm} \).
A rocket-powered hockey puck has a thrust of \(4.40 \, \text{N}\) and a total mass of \(1.00 \, \text{kg}\). It is released from rest on a frictionless table, \(2.10 \, \text{m}\) from the edge of a \(2.10 \, \text{m}\) drop. The front of the rocket is pointed directly toward the edge. Assuming that the thrust of the rocket is present for the entire time of travel, how far does the puck land from the base of the table?
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 new car is tested on a \(230 \, \text{m}\)-diameter track. If the car speeds up at a steady \(1.4 \, \text{m/s}^2\), how long after starting is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration equal to the tangential acceleration?
A car of mass \( M \) moves around a circularly banked curve on a freeway off-ramp. The off-ramp has a radius of curvature \( R \) and is raised to an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal. The road is slick, and friction is negligible.
A car accelerates from \( 0 \) to \( 25 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). If the car’s tires have a diameter of \( 70 \) \( \text{cm} \), how many revolutions does a tire make while accelerating?
An elevator carrying a person of mass \( m \) is moving upward and slowing down. How does the magnitude \( F \) of the force exerted on the person by the elevator floor compare with the magnitude \( mg \) of the gravitational force?
When the speed of a rear-wheel-drive car is increasing on a horizontal road, what is the direction of the frictional force on the tires?
A \(2 \, \text{kg}\) ball is swung in a vertical circle. The length of the string the ball is attached to is \(0.7 \, \text{m}\). It takes \(0.4 \, \text{s}\) for the ball to travel one revolution (assume the ball travels at constant speed).

A particle of mass \(m\) slides down a fixed, frictionless sphere of radius \(R\), starting from rest at the top.
In terms of \(m\), \(g\), \(R\), and \(\theta\), determine each of the following for the particle while it is sliding on the sphere.
What is the relationship between the period \( T \) and frequency \( f \) of an object in simple harmonic motion?
Two balls are launched at the same time from opposite sides of a \( 100 \) \( \text{m} \) wide and \(1000 ~\text{m}\) canyon. Ball A is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at \( 45^{\circ} \) from the left side. Ball B is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at \( 45^{\circ} \) from the right side.
Two identical blocks are connected to the opposite ends of a compressed spring. The blocks initially slide together on a frictionless surface with velocity \( v \) to the right. The spring is then released by remote control. At some later instant, the left block is moving at \( \frac{v}{2} \) to the left, and the other block is moving to the right. What is the speed of the center of mass of the system at that instant?
A particle moves along the x-axis with an acceleration of \( a = 18t \), where \( a \) has units of \( \text{m/s}^2 \). If the particle at time \( t = 0 \) is at the origin with a velocity of \( -12 \, \text{m/s} \), what is its position at \( t = 4.0 \, \text{s} \)? Note this requires calculus to solve.
Johnny the auto mechanic is raising a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) car on her hydraulic lift so that she can work underneath. If the area of the input piston is \( 12 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \), while the output piston has an area of \( 700 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \), what force must be exerted on the input piston to lift the car?
Ball 1 is dropped from rest at time \( t = 0 \) from a tower of height \( h \). At the same instant, ball 2 is launched upward from the ground with the initial speed \( v_0 \). If air resistance is negligible, at what time \( t \) will the two balls pass each other?
