A small block of mass \( M \) is released from rest at the top of the curved frictionless ramp shown above. The block slides down the ramp and is moving with a speed \( 3.5v_0 \) when it collides with a larger block of mass \( 1.5M \) at rest at the bottom of the incline. The larger block moves to the right at a speed \( 2v_0 \) immediately after the collision.
Express your answers to the following questions in terms of the given quantities and fundamental constants.
Find the following three values using just rotational kinematics.
A car travels at a constant speed around a circular track whose radius is \(2.6 \, \text{km}\). The car goes once around the track in \(360 \, \text{s}\). What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car?
Wanda watches the fish in her fish tank and notices that the angelfish like to feed at the water’s surface, while the catfish feed \( 0.300 \) \( \text{m} \) below at the bottom of the tank. If the average density of the water in the tank is \( 1000\) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \), what is the absolute pressure on the catfish?
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 \( P_{\text{atm}} \).
Which of the following expressions is equal to the absolute pressure exerted by the fluid on the top surface of the cube?
To increase the moment of inertia of a body about an axis, you must
For linear motion the term “inertia” refers to the same physical concept of

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
A clothesline is stretched between two trees. A tire hangs in the middle of the line, and the two halves of the line make equal angles with the horizontal. The tension in the line is

The elliptical orbit of a comet is shown above. Positions 1 and 2 are, respectively, the farthest and nearest positions to the Sun, and at position 1 the distance from the comet to the Sun is 10 times that at position 2. What is the ratio \(v_1\)/\(v_2\) of the speed of the comet at position 1 to the speed at position 2?
A speed skater goes around a turn that has a radius of \(31 \, \text{m}\). The skater has a speed of \(14 \, \text{m/s}\) and experiences a centripetal force of \(460 \, \text{N}\). What is the mass of the skater?
Two balls are launched at the same time from opposite sides of a \( 100 \) \( \text{m} \) wide and \(1000 ~\text{m}\) canyon. Ball A is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at \( 45^{\circ} \) from the left side. Ball B is launched at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at \( 45^{\circ} \) from the right side.
A \( 15 \) \( \text{N} \) force is pushing a \( 40 \) \( \text{N} \) block down a incline. The angle of the inline is \( \alpha = 40^{\circ} \). The coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline is \( \mu_s = 0.75 \) and the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( \mu_k = 0.65 \).
Vector \( V_1 \) is \( 6.0 \) units long and points along the negative \( y \) axis. Vector \( V_2 \) is \( 4.5 \) units long and points at \( +45^\circ \) to the positive \( x \) axis.
A golf ball is hit with a golf club. While the ball flies through the air, which forces act on the ball? Neglect air resistance.
A ski lift carries skiers along a \(695 \, \text{m}\) slope inclined at \(34^\circ\). To lift a single rider, it is necessary to move \(72 \, \text{kg}\) of mass to the top of the lift. Under maximum load conditions, five riders per minute arrive at the top. If \(65\%\) of the energy supplied by the motor goes to overcoming friction, what average power must the motor supply?

A baseball is hit high and far across a field. Which of the following statements is true? At the highest point:
An Olympic bobsled team goes through a horizontal curve at a speed of \( 120 \) \( \text{km/hr} \). If the radius of curvature is \( 10.0 \) \( \text{m} \), what is the apparent weight the crew experiences—express in terms of \( mg \)?
A block is projected up a ramp with an initial speed \( v_0 \). It travels along the surface of the ramp with constant acceleration \( a \). Take the positive direction of motion to be up the ramp. If the acceleration vector points opposite the initial velocity vector, which of the following MUST be true?

You are lying in bed and want to shut your bedroom door. You have a bouncy “superball” and a blob of clay, both with the same mass \( m \). Which one would be more effective to throw at your door to close it?
A \(0.10 \, \text{kg}\) ball, traveling horizontally at \(25 \, \text{m/s}\), strikes a wall and rebounds at \(19 \, \text{m/s}\). What is the magnitude of the change in the momentum of the ball during the rebound?
