Why is more fuel required for a spacecraft to travel from the Earth to the Moon than to return from the Moon to the Earth?

A cart begins to move from rest on a horizontal track. Which of the following correctly indicates the magnitude of the average velocity of the cart during the interval shown and provides a valid explanation?
Hint: when solving this, its consider that the area of the acceleration vs time graph tells you the change in velocity.
An object is projected vertically upward from ground level. It rises to a maximum height \( H \). If air resistance is negligible, which of the following must be true for the object when it is at a height \( H/2 \) ?
You try to open a door, but you are unable to push at a right angle to the door. So, you push the door at an angle of \( 35^{\circ} \) from the horizontal. How much harder would you have to push to open the door just as fast as if you were to push it at \( 90^{\circ} \)?

The figure above shows a cart of mass \( M \) accelerating to the right with acceleration \( a \). A block of mass \( m \) is pressed against the cart’s front vertical surface and is held there only by friction. The coefficient of friction between the block and the cart is \( \mu \). What is the minimum acceleration \( a \) of the cart such that the block will not fall?

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?
A student kicks a soccer ball. The ball exerts a force back on the student’s foot. Why doesn’t the student’s foot accelerate backward as much as the ball accelerates forward?

A disk of radius \( R = 0.5 \) \( \text{cm} \) rests on a flat, horizontal surface such that frictional forces are considered to be negligible. Three forces of unknown magnitude are exerted on the edge of the disk, as shown in the figure. Which of the following lists the essential measuring devices that, when used together, are needed to determine the change in angular momentum of the disk after a known time of \( 5.0 \) \( \text{s} \)?
Two masses, \( m_y = 32 \) \( \text{kg} \) and \( m_z = 38 \) \( \text{kg} \), are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius \( R = 0.311 \) \( \text{m} \) and mass \( 3.1 \) \( \text{kg} \). Initially, \( m_y \) is on the ground and \( m_z \) rests \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground.

In the figure above, the marble rolls down the track and around a loop-the-loop of radius \( R \). The marble has mass \( m \) and radius \( r \). What minimum height \( h_{min} \) must the track have for the marble to make it around the loop-the-loop without falling off? Express your answer in terms of the variables \( R \) and \( r \).

The figure shows scale drawings of four objects, each of the same mass and uniform thickness, with the mass distributed uniformly. Which one has the greatest moment of inertia when rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the drawing at point P?
The Moon does not crash into the Earth because:
A person stands on a scale in an elevator. If the scale reads \( 600 \, \text{N} \) when that person is riding upward at a constant velocity of \( 4 \, \text{m/s} \), what is the scale reading when the elevator is at rest? Hint: The reading on the scale is simply the normal force.
An airliner arrives at the terminal, and the engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angular velocity of \( 2000 \) \( \text{rad/s} \). The engine’s rotation slows with an angular acceleration of magnitude \( 80.0 \) \( \text{rad/s}^2 \).
A mass \( m_1 \) traveling with an initial velocity \( v \) has an elastic collision with a mass \( m_2 \) that is initially at rest.
A block is attached to a horizontal spring. The block is held so the spring is stretched and the block is released from rest, undergoing simple harmonic motion with a frequency of \( 2 \) \( \text{Hz} \). How long after release will the block first reach a point where it is momentarily at rest?
A meter stick of mass \( .2 \) kg is pivoted at one end and supported horizontally. A force of \( 3 \) N downwards is applied to the free end, perpendicular to the length of the meter stick. What is the net torque about the pivot point?
A fountain with an opening of radius \( 0.015 \) \( \text{m} \) shoots a stream of water vertically from ground level at \( 6.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \). The density of water is \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \).
An object has a mass of 10 kg. For each case below answer the questions and provide an example.
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.
Which launch angle gives the greatest horizontal range, assuming level ground and no air resistance?

On another planet, a ball is in free fall after being released from rest at time \( t = 0 \). A graph of the height of the ball above the planet’s surface as a function of time \( t \) is shown. The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is most nearly
A \( 0.0350 \) \( \text{kg} \) bullet moving horizontally at \( 425 \) \( \text{m/s} \) embeds itself into an initially stationary \( 0.550 \) \( \text{kg} \) block.

You have a giant cask of water with a spigot some height below the water surface. The surface of the water, which is essentially at rest, is exposed to atmosphere (\( \approx 10^5 \text{Pa} \)). The water density is \( \approx 1000 \text{kg/m}^3 \). The water pours out of the spigot at \( 3 \text{m/s} \). How far below the water surface is the spigot positioned?
