While driving fast around a sharp right turn, you find yourself pressing against the car door. What is happening?
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?
A wheel 31 cm in diameter accelerates uniformly from 240rpm to 360rpm in 6.8 s. How far will a point on the edge of the wheel have traveled in this time?
A ladder at rest is leaning against a wall at an angle. Which of the following forces must have the same magnitude as the frictional force exerted on the ladder by the floor?
A car can decelerate at \( -3.80 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) without skidding when coming to rest on a level road. What would its deceleration be if the road is inclined at \( 9.3^\circ \) and the car moves uphill? Assume the same static friction coefficient.
A new car is tested on a 230-m-diameter track. If the car speeds up at a steady [katex] 1.4 \, m/s^2[/katex], how long after starting is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration equal to the tangential acceleration?
The system above is NOT balanced since \(m_2\) is twice the mass of \(m_1\). Which of the following changes would NOT balance the system so that there is 0 net torque? Assume the plank has no mass of its own.
Two identical satellites are placed in orbit of two different planets. Satellite \(A\) orbits Mars, and Satellite \(B\) orbits Jupiter. The orbital speeds of each satellite are the same. Which satellite has a greater orbital radius?
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?
While flying horizontally in an airplane, you notice that a string dangling from the overhead luggage compartment hangs at rest at 15° away from the vertical toward the back of the plane. Using this observation, you can conclude that the airplane is:
A Christmas ornament made from a thin hollow glass sphere hangs from a thin wire of negligible mass. It is observed to oscillates with a frequency of \( 2.50 \) \( \text{Hz} \) in a city where \( g = 9.80 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \). What is the radius of the ornament? The moment of inertia of the ornament is given by \( I = \frac{5}{3} mr^2 \).
A runner is moving at \( 4 \) \( \text{m/s} \). She is opposed by magic in the form of air resistance, which exerts a constant \( 20 \) \( \text{Newtons} \) force in the direction opposite her velocity. At what rate is she using energy to remain at constant velocity?
Priscilla the Penguin stands at the edge of a rock ledge and tosses a small ice cube directly upward with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \). The ice cube’s initial height above the ground is \( 3.25 \, \text{m} \), and it reaches its maximum height above the ground \( 0.586 \, \text{s} \) after being thrown. The ice cube then plummets to the ground, missing the edge of the rock ledge on its way down.
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 \( 4 \)-\( \text{kg} \) ball and a \( 1 \)-\( \text{kg} \) ball are positioned a distance \( L \) apart on a bar of negligible mass. How far from the \( 4 \)-\( \text{kg} \) mass should the fulcrum be placed to balance the bar?
In an experiment where a constant horizontal force pulls on a box across a rough floor starting from rest, what would happen to the acceleration of the box if its mass were doubled but the pulling force remained unchanged?
The speed of a \(40 \, \text{N}\) hockey puck, sliding across a level ice surface, decreases at the rate of \(0.61 \, \text{m/s}^2\). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and ice is
Initially, a ball has an angular velocity of \( 5.0 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) counterclockwise. Some time later, after rotating through a total angle of \( 5.5 \) \( \text{radians} \), the ball has an angular velocity of \( 1.5 \) \( \text{rad/s} \) clockwise.
A crane’s trolley at point \( P \) moves for a few seconds to the right with constant acceleration, and the \( 870 \, \text{kg} \) load hangs on a light cable at a \( 5^\circ \) angle to the vertical as shown. What is the acceleration of the trolley and load?
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.
