Two blocks made of different materials, connected by a thin cord, slide down a plane ramp inclined at an angle \( \theta = 32^\circ \) above the horizontal. If the coefficients of friction are \( \mu_A = 0.2 \) and \( \mu_B = 0.3 \) and if \( m_A = m_B = 5.0 \) \( \text{kg} \), determine:

A super dart of mass \(20 \, \text{g}\), traveling at \(350 \, \text{m/s}\), strikes a steel plate at an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the plane of the plate, as shown in the figure. It bounces off the plate at the same angle but at a speed of \(320 \, \text{m/s}\). What is the magnitude of the impulse that the plate gives to the bullet?
Which of the following must be true for an object at translational equilibrium?
Flywheels (rapidly rotating disks) are widely used in industry for storing energy. They are spun up slowly when extra energy is available, then decelerate quickly when needed to supply a boost of energy. A flywheel, \( 20 \text{ cm} \) in diameter, can spin at \( 20{,}000 \text{ rpm} \).
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to \( 29.4 \) m/s in \( 6.93 \) s along a level stretch of road. Ignoring friction, determine the average power in both watts and horsepower (\( 1 \text{ horsepower} = 745.7 \text{ Watts} \)) required to accelerate the car if:
A point P is at a distance \( R \) from the axis of rotation of a rigid body whose angular velocity and angular acceleration are \( \omega \) and \( \alpha \) respectively. The linear speed, centripetal acceleration, and tangential acceleration of the point can be expressed as:
| Linear speed | Centripetal acceleration | Tangential acceleration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| \( (a) \) | \( R\omega \) | \( R\omega^{2} \) | \( R\alpha \) |
| \( (b) \) | \( R\omega \) | \( R\alpha \) | \( R\omega^{2} \) |
| \( (c) \) | \( R\omega^{2} \) | \( R\alpha \) | \( R\omega \) |
| \( (d) \) | \( R\omega \) | \( R\omega^{2} \) | \( R\omega \) |

To increase the moment of inertia of a body about an axis, you must

A point on the edge of a disk rotates around the center of the disk with an initial angular velocity of 3 rad/s clockwise. The graph shows the point’s angular acceleration as a function of time. The positive direction is considered to be counterclockwise. All frictional forces are considered to be negligible.

A block with mass \( m \) slides at speed \( v_0 \) on a smooth surface and hits a stationary block with mass \( M \). They stick together and move at speed \( \frac{v_0}{3} \). Find \( M \) in terms of \( m \).
A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of \(17 \, \text{m/s}\) on dry road. However, a long wet patch in the road appears and decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-fifth of its dry-road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, by what factor would the it need to change the original velocity?

A block with a mass of \( 4 \) \( \text{kg} \) is attached to a spring on the wall that oscillates back and forth with a frequency of \( 4 \) \( \text{Hz} \) and an amplitude of \( 3 \) \( \text{m} \). What would the frequency be if the block were replaced by one with one‑fourth the mass and the amplitude of the block is increased to \( 9 \) \( \text{m} \)?
The heaviest train ever pulled by a single engine was over \( 2 \, \text{km} \) long. A force of \( 1.13 \times 10^5 \, \text{N} \) is needed to get the train to start moving.

A \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg} \) car is traveling east at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) when it collides perfectly inelastically with a northbound \( 2000 \) \( \text{kg} \) car traveling at \( 15 \) \( \text{m/s} \). If the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( 0.9 \), how far, and at what angle do the two cars skid before coming to a stop?

A centripetal force of \( 5.0 \) newtons is applied to a rubber stopper moving at a constant speed in a horizontal circle. If the same force is applied, but the radius is made smaller, what happens to the speed, \( v \), and the frequency, \( f \), of the stopper?
On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on Earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball \(3.5\) times as far as he would have on Earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of \(45 \, \text{m/s}\) at an angle of \(29^\circ\) above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet find:
Two students push a \(1750\, \mathrm{kg}\) car with a force of \(758\, \mathrm{N}\) along a perfectly level road at a constant velocity of \(4.00\, \mathrm{m/s}\). Find the force of friction.
A circus cannon fires an acrobat into the air at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) above the horizontal, and the acrobat reaches a maximum height \( y \) above her original launch height. The cannon is now aimed so that it fires straight up, at an identical speed, into the air at an angle of \( 90^\circ \) to the horizontal. In terms of \( y \), what is the acrobat’s new maximum height?
