A bald eagle in level flight at a height of \(135 \, \text{m}\) drops the fish it caught. If the eagle’s speed is \(25.0 \, \text{m/s}\) how far from the drop point will the fish land?
A \(4 \, \text{kg}\) mass is traveling at \(10 \, \text{m/s}\) to the right when it collides inelastically 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 are the velocity and the angle of the \(4 \, \text{kg}\) mass?
A hoop with a mass [katex]m[/katex] and unknown radius is rolling without slipping on a flat surface with an angular speed [katex]\omega[/katex]. The hoop encounters a hill and continues to roll without slipping until it reaches a maximum height [katex]h[/katex].
When a golf ball is dropped to the pavement, it bounces back up.
Describe two examples in which the force of friction exerted on an object is in the direction of motion of the object.
Block \(m_1\) is stacked on top of block \(m_2\). Block \(m_2\) is connected by a light cord to block \(m_3\), which is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force \(F\) as shown in the diagram above. Block \(m_1\) is accelerated at the same rate as block \(m_2\) because of the frictional forces between the two blocks. If all three blocks have the same mass \(m\), what is the minimum coefficient of static friction between block \(m_1\) and block \(m_2\)?
A rocket, initially at rest, is fired vertically upward with an acceleration of \( 12.0 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). At an altitude of \( 1.00 \, \text{km} \), the rocket engine cuts off. Drag is negligible.
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 \( 10 \) \( \text{mg} \) larger than the opposing sample.
If the samples are \( 12 \) \( \text{cm} \) from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at \( 60000 \) \( \text{rpm} \), what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?
Measurements made in 1910 indicate that the common flea is an impressive jumper, given its size. Assume that a flea’s initial speed is 2.1 m/s, and that it leaps at an angle of 21° with respect to the horizontal. The jump lasts 0.16 s.
A mass moving with a constant speed \( u \) encounters a rough surface and comes to a stop. The mass takes a time \( t \) to stop after encountering the rough surface. The coefficient of dynamic friction between the rough surface and the mass is \( 0.40 \). Which of the following expressions gives the initial speed \( u \)?

A ball is launched and lands \( 20 \) \( \text{m} \) away below the launch point \( 2.5 \) \( \text{s} \) later. The maximum height reached is \( 8.0 \) \( \text{m} \). What was the original launch velocity?
A cart with a mass of \( 20 \) \( \text{kg} \) is pressed against a wall by a horizontal spring with spring constant \( k = 244 \) \( \text{N/m} \) placed between the cart and the wall. The spring is compressed by \( 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \). While the spring is compressed, an additional constant horizontal force of \( 20 \) \( \text{N} \) continues to push the cart toward the wall. What is the resulting acceleration of the cart?
Car A, mass 1000 kg, is traveling at 40 m/s when it collides with a stationary car B. They stick together and travel at 7 m/s. What is the mass of car B?
A big bird has a mass of about 0.021 kg. Suppose it does 0.36 J of work against gravity, so that it ascends straight up with a net acceleration of 0.625 m/s2. How far up does it move?
A horizontal spring with spring constant 162 N/m is compressed 50 cm and used to launch a 3 kg box across a frictionless, horizontal surface. After the box travels some distance, the surface becomes rough. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the box on the rough surface is 0.2. Find the total distance the box travels before stopping.
An object is thrown downward at \(23 ~\text{m/s}\) from the top of a \(200 ~\text{m}\) tall building.
Are astronauts really “weightless” while in orbit?
A ball is attached to the end of a string. It is swung in a vertical circle of radius \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \). What is the minimum velocity that the ball must have at the top to make it around the circle?
A block of weight \( W \) is floating in water, and one-third of the block is above the surface of the water. Which of the following correctly describes the magnitude \( F \) of the force that the block exerts on the water and explains why \( F \) has that value?
An object weighs \( 432 \) \( \text{N} \) on the surface of Earth. At a height of \( 3R_{\text{Earth}} \) above Earth’s surface, what is its weight?
While driving fast around a sharp right turn, you find yourself pressing against the car door. What is happening?
Two workers are holding a thin plate with length \(5 \, \text{m}\) and height \(2 \, \text{m}\) at rest by supporting the plate in the bottom corners. The workers are standing at rest on a slope of \(10^\circ\). Treat these supporting forces as vertical normal forces and calculate their magnitudes and state if both workers are sharing “the job” fairly.
You kick a ball straight up. Compare the sign of the work done by gravity on the ball while it goes up with the sign of the work done by gravity while it goes down.
