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 force \(F\) is exerted by a broom handle on the head of a broom, which has a mass \(m\). The handle is at an angle \(\theta\) to the horizontal. The work done by the force on the head of the broom as it moves a distance \(d\) across a horizontal floor is
A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \), and air resistance is negligible.
A \( 7.3 \) \( \text{kg} \) mass is placed on a spring with a spring constant of \( 34 \) \( \text{N/cm} \). How much does this stretch the spring?
A uniform, rigid rod of length \( 2 \) \( \text{m} \) lies on a horizontal surface. One end of the rod can pivot about an axis that is perpendicular to the rod and along the plane of the page. A \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) force is applied to the rod at its midpoint at an angle of \( 37^{\circ} \). A second force \( F \) is applied to the free end of the rod so that the rod remains at rest, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the torque produced by force \( F \) is most nearly
A block is initially at rest on top of an inclined ramp that makes an angle \( \theta_0 \) with the horizontal. The distance measured along the base of the ramp is \( D \). After the block is released from rest, it slides down the frictionless ramp and then continues onto a rough horizontal surface until it finally comes to rest at the position \( x = 4D \) measured from the base of the ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough horizontal surface is \( \mu_k \).
In the diagram above, block \(A\) has a mass of \(3.2 \, \text{kg}\) and block \(B\) a mass of \(2.4 \, \text{kg}\). The pulley is frictionless and has no mass.
The motion of a particle is described in the velocity vs. time graph shown above. Over the nine-second interval shown, we can say that the speed of the particle…
A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of \( 4.3 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) for a time of \( 6.8 \, \text{s} \). The car then slows to a stop with an acceleration of \( 5.1 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the total distance traveled by the car?

A cat chases a mouse across a \(1.0 \, \text{m}\) high table. The mouse steps out of the way, and the cat slides off the table and strikes the floor \(2.2 \, \text{m}\) from the edge of the table. When the cat slid off the table, what was its speed?
A car travels east at a steady \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \) for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). What is its acceleration during this motion?
A person is standing at the edge of the water and looking out at the ocean. The height of the person’s eyes above the water is \( h = 1.8 \, \text{m} \), and the radius of the Earth is \( R = 6.38 \times 10^6 \, \text{m} \). How far is it to the horizon (in meters)? In other words, find the distance \( d \) from the person’s eyes to the horizon. Note at the horizon, the angle between the line of sight and the radius of the Earth is \( 90^\circ \).)
When a falling meteoroid is at a distance above the Earth’s surface of \( 3.00 \) times the Earth’s radius, what is its acceleration due to the Earth’s gravitation?
Only \( 1 \) non-zero force acts on an object. Can the object have \( 0 \) acceleration? Can it have \( 0 \) velocity? Explain.
Block \( 1 \) of mass \( m_1 \) and Block \( 2 \) of mass \( m_2 = 2 m_1 \) are each attached to identical horizontal springs. Each block is displaced from equilibrium by an unknown amount and the blocks are released from rest simultaneously, undergoing simple harmonic motion. A student claims that Block \( 1 \) will make its first return to its equilibrium position before Block \( 2 \) first returns to its equilibrium position. Is this claim correct? Why or why not?
Two forces produce equal torques on a door about the door hinge. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door; the second force is applied at the doorknob. Both forces are applied perpendicular to the door. Which force has a greater magnitude?
A car of mass \( M \) moves around a circularly banked curve on a freeway off-ramp. The off-ramp has a radius of curvature \( R \) and is raised to an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal. The road is slick, and friction is negligible.
Consider a solid uniform sphere of radius \(R\) and mass \(M\) rolling without slipping. Which form of its kinetic energy is larger, translational or rotational?
A uniform rod of length \( L \) and mass \( M \) is free to rotate about one end, as shown in the diagram. The free end is released from rest at a horizontal position, as shown. The pivot point is supported by a stand so that only the free end can move. The moment of inertia of a rod about its end is \(\tfrac{1}{3} M L^{2}\).

The radius of the left piston is \( 0.12 \) \( \text{m} \) and the radius of the right piston is \( 0.65 \) \( \text{m} \). If \( f \) were raised by \( 14 \) \( \text{N} \), how much would \( F \) need to be increased to maintain equilibrium?
Ben’s favorite ride at the Barrel-O-Fun Amusement Park 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 \( 3.0 \) \( \text{cm} \) wide cylindrical piston, which holds the \( 20,000 \) \( \text{N} \) ride off the ground. What is the diameter of the piston that holds the ride?
