Does the odometer of a car measure a scalar or a vector quantity? What about the speedometer?

The motion of a particle is described in the velocity vs. time graph shown above. Over the nine-second interval shown, we can say that the speed of the particle…

The diagram above shows a top view of a child of mass \(M\) on a circular platform of mass \(2M\) that is rotating counterclockwise. Assume the platform rotates without friction. Which of the following describes an action by the child that will increase the angular speed of the platform-child system and gives the correct reason why?
A golfer hits her ball in a high arcing shot. Air resistance is negligible. When the ball is at its highest point, which of the following is true?
A ball is thrown straight up. What are the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the highest point in its path?
What force is necessary to stretch an ideal spring with a spring constant of \( 120 \) \( \text{N/m} \) by \( 30 \) \( \text{cm} \)?
A solid plastic cube with uniform density (side length = \(0.5\) \(\text{m}\)) of mass \(100\) \(\text{kg}\) is placed in a vat of fluid whose density is \(1200\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\). What fraction of the cube’s volume floats above the surface of the fluid?
A solid metal bar is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is free to rotate about a vertical axis at the left end. The figures below show forces of different magnitudes that are exerted on the bar at different locations. In which case does the bar’s angular speed about the axis increase at the fastest rate?
What is the weight of a person who has a mass of \(75 \, \text{kg}\)?
A mass \( m_1 \) traveling with an initial velocity \( v \) has an elastic collision with a mass \( m_2 \) that is initially at rest.
A spring stretches \( 8.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) when a \( 13 \) \( \text{N} \) force is applied. How far does it stretch when a \( 26 \) \( \text{N} \) force is applied?
A solid sphere of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \) rolls without slipping down an inclined plane starting from rest. Select all that would affect the angular velocity of the sphere at the bottom of the incline.
A \(4 \, \text{kg}\) mass is traveling at \(10 \, \text{m/s}\) to the right when it collides elastically with a stationary \(7 \, \text{kg}\) mass. The \(7 \, \text{kg}\) mass then travels at \(2 \, \text{m/s}\) at an angle of \(22^\circ\) below the horizontal. What is the velocity of the \(4 \, \text{kg}\) mass?

Two wires support an unknown mass as shown in the diagram. The tension in the left wire is measured to be \( 17.5 \) \( \text{N} \) and the tension in the right wire is \( 30.3 \) \( \text{N} \). The left wire makes an angle of \( 30^{\circ} \) with the horizontal, and the right wire makes an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \) with the horizontal. What is the mass of the object?
At what distance from the Earth will a spacecraft traveling directly from the Earth to the Moon experience zero net force because the Earth and Moon pull in opposite directions with equal force?
A car moving at 30 m/s makes a head-on collision with a stone wall. From what height would the car have to fall in order to make an equally hard collision with the ground?

A 0.5 kg pendulum bob is raised to 1.0 m above the floor, as shown in the figure. The bob is then released from rest. When the bob is 0.8 m above the floor, its speed is most nearly
A fisherman is standing in the back of his small fishing boat (the mass of the fisherman is the same as the mass of the boat) and he is a few meters from shore. He is done fishing so he starts walking towards the shore so he can get off the boat. What happens to the boat and the fisherman? Select all that apply and assume there is no friction between the boat and the water.
You throw a rock straight up with an initial velocity of \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \).
A \( 1.5 \; \text{kg} \) mass attached to a spring with a force constant of \( 20.0 \; \text{N/m} \) oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless track. At \( t = 0 \), the mass is released from rest at \( x = 10.0 \; \text{cm} \). (That is, the spring is stretched by \( 10.00 \; \text{cm} \).)
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?
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 speed of a point on the equator of the star?
An apple is released from rest \(500 \, \text{m}\) above the ground. Due to the combined forces of air resistance and gravity, it has a speed of \(40 \, \text{m/s}\) when it reaches the ground. What percentage of the initial mechanical energy of the apple–Earth system was dissipated due to air resistance? Take the potential energy of the apple–Earth system to be zero when the apple reaches the ground.
Suppose you are a passenger traveling in car along a road that bends to the left. Why will you feel like you are being thrown against the door. What causes this force?
