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…
A \( 50 \, \text{kg} \) person is sitting on a seesaw \( 1.2 \, \text{m} \) from the balance point. On the other side, a \( 70 \, \text{kg} \) person is balanced. How far from the balance point is the second person sitting?
A person whose weight is \(4.92 \times 10^2 \, \text{N}\) is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is \(35.2 \, \text{m}\) deep. The maximum tension that the rope can withstand without breaking is \(592 \, \text{N}\). What is the shortest time, starting from rest, in which the person can be brought out of the cave?
If an elephant were chasing you, its enormous mass would be most threatening. But if you zigzagged, its mass would be to your advantage. Why?
Why is the stopping distance of a truck much shorter than for a train going the same speed? Hint: try deriving a formula or stopping distance.
A child on Earth has a weight of \(500 \, \text{N}\). Determine the weight of the child if the Earth were to triple in both mass and radius (\(3M\) and \(3r\)).
Pulleys \( X \) and \( Y \) are each attached to a block by a string that wraps around the pulley. Both blocks are released and have the same linear acceleration \( a \). As the blocks fall, the pulleys rotate about their centers. Pulley \( Y \) has a larger radius than Pulley \( X \). How does the angular acceleration \( \alpha_X \) of Pulley \( X \) compare to the angular acceleration \( \alpha_Y \) of Pulley \( Y \)?
A uniform ladder with mass \( m_2 \) and length \( L \) rests against a smooth wall. A do-it-yourself enthusiast of mass \( m_1 \) stands on the ladder a distance \( d \) from the bottom (measured along the ladder). The ladder makes an angle \( \theta \) with the ground. There is no friction between the wall and the ladder, but there is a frictional force of magnitude \( f \) between the floor and the ladder. \( N_1 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder, and \( N_2 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder. Throughout the problem, consider counterclockwise torques to be positive.
You are piloting a small plane, and you want to reach an airport \(450 \, \text{km}\) due south in \(3.0 \,\text{hours}\). A wind is blowing from the west at \(50.0 \,\text{km/h}\). What heading and airspeed should you choose to reach your destination in time?
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 \( 10.00 \; \text{cm} \).)
A vertical rope of negligible mass supports a block that weighs \(30 N\). The breaking strength of the rope is \( 50 N\). The largest acceleration that can be given to the block by pulling up on it with the rope without breaking the rope is most nearly
When a skier skis down a hill, the normal force exerted on the skier by the hill is
In a demonstration, a teacher holds the axle of a wheel that is spinning with constant angular speed. The teacher then releases the axle and the wheel begins to fall toward the ground. As the wheel falls, its angular speed remains constant. Which of the following correctly describes how the rotational kinetic energy \( K_{\text{rot}} \) of the wheel and the total kinetic energy \( K_{\text{tot}} \) of the wheel change, if at all, after the wheel is released but before it reaches the ground?
| \( K_{\text{rot}} \) | \( K_{\text{tot}} \) | |
|---|---|---|
| A | Constant | Constant |
| B | Constant | Increasing |
| C | Increasing | Constant |
| D | Increasing | Increasing |
A skier is accelerating down a \( 30.0^{\circ} \) hill at \( 3.80 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \).
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?
Three blocks of masses \( 1.0 \, \text{kg} \), \( 2.0 \, \text{kg} \), and \( 4.0 \, \text{kg} \) are connected by massless strings, one of which passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass, as shown above. Calculate each of the following.
Two paper cups are suspended by strings and hung near each other. They are separated by about \( 10 \) \( \text{cm} \). Explain what happens to the cups when you blow air between them. Hint: Do they remain still, moves away from each other or move towards each other?
A roller coaster car crosses the top of a circular loop-the-loop at twice the critical speed. What is the ratio of the normal force to the gravitational force?
When a basketball is dropped to the pavement, it bounces back up. Is a force needed to make it bounce back up? If so, what exerts the force?
A car moves at constant speed in a circle of radius 75 m on a horizontal road. The coefficient of static friction is 0.62. Find the maximum speed the car can go without sliding.
A \( 50 \) \( \text{g} \) ice cube can slide up and down a frictionless \( 30^{\circ}\) slope. At the bottom, a spring with spring constant \( 25 \) \( \text{N/m} \) is compressed \( 10 \) \( \text{cm} \) and is used to launch the ice cube up the slope. How high does it go above its starting point? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
| Speed | \( 10 \, \mathrm{m/s} \) | \( 20 \, \mathrm{m/s} \) | \( 30 \, \mathrm{m/s} \) |
| Braking Distance | \( 6.1 \, \mathrm{m} \) | \( 23.9 \, \mathrm{m} \) | \( 53.5 \, \mathrm{m} \) |
A car of mass \( 1500 \, \mathrm{kg} \) is traveling at one of the speeds listed when the brakes are first applied. Using the data above, what is the magnitude of the average braking force required to stop the car?
A cube of side length \( s \) rests on the bottom surface of a container of fluid. The fluid is at a height \( y \) above the bottom of the tank. The fluid has density \( \rho \) and the atmospheric pressure is \( P_{\text{atm}} \).
