A sample of an unknown material appears to weigh \( 285 \) \( \text{N} \) in air and \( 195 \) \( \text{N} \) when immersed in alcohol of specific gravity \( 0.700 \).
A car is traveling 20 m/s when the driver sees a child standing on the road. She takes 0.8 s to react then steps on the brakes and slows at 7.0 m/s2. How far does the car go before it stops?
Why do you tend to slide across the car seat when the car makes a sharp turn?

A \( 0.20 \) \( \text{kg} \) object moves along a straight line. The net force acting on the object varies with the object’s displacement as shown in the graph above. The object starts from rest at displacement \( x = 0 \) and time \( t = 0 \) and is displaced a distance of \( 20 \) \( \text{m} \). Determine each of the following.
Two satellites of equal mass, \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), orbit the Earth. \( S_1 \) is orbiting at a distance \( r \) from the Earth’s center at speed \( v \). \( S_2 \) orbits at a distance \( 2r \) from the Earth’s centre at speed \( \dfrac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \). The ratio of the centripetal force on \( S_1 \) to the centripetal force on \( S_2 \) is
Wile E. Coyote is (still) chasing after his arch-nemesis, the Roadrunner across a cliff that is \(125 \, \text{m}\) high. The Coyote is running in the horizontal direction towards the edge of a cliff when, at the last second, the Roadrunner steps out of the way and the witless coyote falls to the canyon floor.
A projectile is launched at \( 25 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at an angle of \( 45^\circ \). It lands on a slope \( 5 \) \( \text{m} \) below the launch height. On landing, it rebounds vertically with \( 80\% \) of its speed and falls straight down from there. Find the total time from launch to final impact at the base of the slope.
A rubber ball with a mass of \(0.25 \, \text{kg}\) and a speed of \(19.0 \, \text{m/s}\) collides perpendicularly with a wall and bounces off with a speed of \(21 \, \text{m/s}\) in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the impulse acting on the rubber ball?
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?
To increase the moment of inertia of a body about an axis, you must
Marc’s favorite ride at Busch Gardens is the Flying Umbrella, which is lifted by a hydraulic jack. The operator activates the ride by applying a force of \( 72 \) \( \text{N} \) to a \( 30 \)\( \text{cm}^2 \) cylindrical piston, which holds the \( 20,000 \)\( \text{N} \) ride off the ground. What is the area of the piston that holds the ride?
A simple pendulum consists of a sphere tied to the end of a string of negligible mass. The sphere is pulled back until the string is horizontal and then released from rest. Assume the gravitational potential energy is zero when the sphere is at its lowest point.
What angle will the string make with the horizontal when the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the sphere-Earth system are equal?
Why do pilots sometimes black out while pulling out at the bottom of a dive?
Two uniform solid balls, one of radius \( R \) and mass \( M \), the other of radius \( 2R \) and mass \( 8M \), roll down a high incline. They start together from rest at the top of the incline. Which one will reach the bottom of the incline first?
A lighter car and a heavier truck, each traveling to the right with the same speed \( v \) hit their brakes. The retarding frictional force F on both cars turns out to be constant and the same. After both vehicles travel a distance \( D \) (and both are still moving), which of the following statements is true?
Vector \( A \) is \( 44.0 \) units and \( 28.0^\circ \) above the \( +x \) axis, vector \( B \) is \( 26.5 \) units and \( 56.0^\circ \) above the \( -x \) axis, and vector \( C \) is \( 31.0 \) units along the \( -y \) axis. Determine the resultant (sum) of the three vectors.
What is the relationship between the period \( T \) and frequency \( f \) of an object in simple harmonic motion?
On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass \( 0.249 \) \( \text{kg} \)) is moving toward puck B (with mass \( 0.375 \) \( \text{kg} \)), which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A has velocity \( 0.115 \) \( \text{m/s} \) to the left, and puck B has velocity \( 0.645 \) \( \text{m/s} \) to the right.
An elevator starts at rest on the ground floor. It accelerates upward smoothly for \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \) until reaching a steady upward speed. It continues at that constant speed for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \) before gently slowing to rest at the next floor in \( 3 \) \( \text{s} \). Draw the velocity vs. time graph.
Above is the graph of the velocity vs. time of a duck flying due south for the winter. At what point might the duck begin reversing directions?
A kickball is rolled by the pitcher at a speed of 10 m/s and it is kicked by another student. The kickball deforms a little during the kick, and then rebounds with a velocity of 15 m/s as its shape restores to a perfect sphere. Select all that must be true about the kickball and the kicking foot system.
A centrifuge rotor rotating at \( 9200 \) \( \text{rpm} \) is shut off and is eventually brought uniformly to rest by a frictional torque of \( 1.20 \) \( \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \). If the mass of the rotor is \( 3.10 \) \( \text{kg} \) and it can be approximated as a solid cylinder of radius \( 0.0710 \) \( \text{m} \), through how many revolutions will the rotor turn before coming to rest? The moment of inertia of a cylinder is given by \( \frac{1}{2} m r^2 \).
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 \( I = \frac{5}{3} mr^2 \).
Two spherical objects have equal masses and experience a gravitational force of \( 25 \) \( \text{N} \) towards one another. Their centers are \( 36 \) \( \text{cm} \) apart. Determine each of their masses.
