Alcohol has a specific gravity of \( 0.79 \). If a barometer consisting of an open-ended tube placed in a dish of alcohol is used at sea level, to what height in the tube will the alcohol rise?
A drinking fountain projects water at an initial angle of \( 50^ \circ \) above the horizontal, and the water reaches a maximum height of \( 0.150 \) \( \text{m} \) above the point of exit. Assume air resistance is negligible.

A student performs several experiments in which two carts collide as they travel along a horizontal surface. Cart X and Cart Y both have a mass of \( 1 \) \( \text{kg} \). Data collected from the three experiments are shown in the table above. During which experiment does the center of mass of the system of two carts have the greatest change in its momentum?
Two balls are dropped off a cliff, 3 seconds apart. The first ball dropped is twice as heavy as the second ball dropped. Air resistance is negligible. While both balls are falling, the distance between the two balls is
An object moves at constant speed in a circular path of radius \( r \) at a rate of \( 1 \) revolution per second. What is its acceleration in terms of \(r\)?
Two blocks of ice, one five times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person then pushes each block the same distance \(d\). Ignore friction and assume that an equal force \(F\) is exerted on each block. Which of the following statements is true about the kinetic energy of the heavier block after the push?
A bullet (mass: \(0.05 \, \text{kg}\)) is fired horizontally (\(v = 200 \, \text{m/s}\)) at a block (mass: \(1.3 \, \text{kg}\)) initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The block is attached to a spring (\(k = 2500 \, \text{N/m}\)). The bullet becomes embedded. Calculate:
The moment of inertia of a solid cylinder about its axis is given by \( I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2 \). If this cylinder rolls without slipping, the ratio of its rotational kinetic energy to its translational kinetic energy is
A man with mass \( m \) is standing on a rotating platform in a science museum. The platform can be approximated as a uniform disk of radius \( R \) that rotates without friction at a constant angular velocity \( \omega \). Two students are discussing what the man should do if he wishes to change the angular velocity of the platform.
Student A says that the man should run towards the center of the platform, because this will decrease the moment of inertia of the man-platform system. Since \( L \propto I \), the angular momentum will decrease proportionately and the platform will slow down.
Student B says that since the platform is rotating counterclockwise, the man should run in a clockwise direction to slow the platform down. His feet will exert a frictional torque on the platform, which will cause an angular acceleration of the man-platform system.
Explain what is correct and incorrect about each students statement if anything.
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?
The cart with mass \( M = 3 \, \text{kg} \) is pulled by a massless string and moving on a horizontal track. A weight with mass \( m = 1 \, \text{kg} \) is hung from the other end of the string through a pulley system. Due to the gravitational force acting on the weight of mass \( m \), the cart is accelerated to the left. Find the tension in the string.
If you want to double the momentum of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its kinetic energy?
An object is moving to the west at a constant speed. Three forces are exerted on the object. One force is \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) directed due north, and another is \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) directed due west. What is the magnitude and direction of the third force if the object is to continue moving to the west at a constant speed?
A hypothetical planet has a radius \( 2.0 \) times that of Earth, but has the same mass. What is the acceleration due to gravity near its surface?
The efficiency of a pulley system is 55%. The
pulleys are used to raise a mass of 90.0 kg to a height of
5.60 m. What force is exerted on the rope of the pulley
system if the rope is pulled for 22 m in order to raise
the mass to the required height?
Suppose a solid uniform sphere of mass M and radius R rolls without slipping down an inclined plane starting from rest. The angular velocity of the sphere at the bottom of the incline depends on
A \(250 \, \text{newton}\) centripetal force acts on a car 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 car?
A discus is held at the end of an arm that starts at rest. The average angular acceleration of \(54 \, \text{rad/s}^2 \) lasts for 0.25 s. The path is circular and has radius 1.1 m.
Note: A discuss is a heavy, flattened circular object for throwing.
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 person is standing on a railroad station platform when a high-speed train passes by. The person will tend to be
Shown above are three masses of \(6 \, \text{kg}\), \(3 \, \text{kg}\), and \(1 \, \text{kg}\) (in order from left to right). You pull on the 1kg mass with a force \(F\) of \(15 \, \text{N}\) along a frictionless surface.
Consider the following cases of inelastic collisions.
Case (1) – A car moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) collides with another car of equal mass moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) in the opposite direction and comes to a stop.
Case (2) A car moving at \(75 \, \text{mph}\) hits a stationary steel wall and rolls back.
The collision time is the same for both cases. In which of these cases would result in the greatest impact force?
The occupants of a car traveling at a speed of \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \) note that on a particular part of a road their apparent weight is \( 15\% \) higher than their weight when driving on a flat road.
