What does displacement mean in the context of motion?
A horizontal uniform meter stick of mass 0.2 kg is supported at its midpoint by a pivot point. A mass of 0.1 kg is attached to the left end of the meter stick, and another mass of 0.15 kg is attached to the right end of the meter stick. The meter stick is free to rotate in the horizontal plane around the pivot point. What is the tension in the string supporting the left end of the meter stick?
A \( 1.0 \)\( \text{-kg} \) object is moving with a velocity of \( 6.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) to the right. It collides and sticks to a \( 2.0 \)\( \text{-kg} \) object moving with a velocity of \( 3.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in the same direction. How much kinetic energy was lost in the collision?
A 135.0 N force is applied to a 30.0 kg box at 42 degree angle to the horizontal. If the force of friction is 85.0, what is the net force and acceleration? If the object starts from rest, how far has it traveled in 3.3 sec?
A pendulum has a period of \(2.0 \, \text{s}\) on Earth. What is its length?
Find the tension in each cable supporting the gymnast who weighs \( 600 \) \( \text{N} \). The gymnast is at rest, holding a junction point where two cables are attached: one cable is horizontal, and the second cable is attached to the ceiling making an angle of \( 37^{\circ} \) above the horizontal, as shown in the diagram.
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
Water flowing in a horizontal pipe speeds up as it goes from a section with a large diameter to a section with a small diameter. Which of the following can explain why the speed of the water increases?
A golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated \(2.80 \, \text{m}\) above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of \(18.9 \, \text{m/s}\) at an angle of \(52.0^\circ\) above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.
Why are doorknobs located on the side of the door opposite the hinges?
A uniform ladder with mass \( m_2 \) and length \( L \) rests against a smooth wall. A do-it-yourself enthusiast of mass \( m_1 \) stands on the ladder a distance \( d \) from the bottom (measured along the ladder). The ladder makes an angle \( \theta \) with the ground. There is no friction between the wall and the ladder, but there is a frictional force of magnitude \( f \) between the floor and the ladder. \( N_1 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder, and \( N_2 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder. Throughout the problem, consider counterclockwise torques to be positive.
Ball \(A\) of mass \(m\) is dropped from a building of height \(H\). Ball \(B\) of mass \(1.7 \, \text{m}\) is dropped from a building of height \(1.7H\). Using energy, what the ratio of \(v_A\) to \(v_B\) (final velocity of ball \(A\) to final velocity of ball \(B\)). Air resistance is negligible.
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 block of mass \( m \) is attached to a horizontal spring with spring constant \( k \) and undergoes simple harmonic motion with amplitude \( A \) along the \( x \)-axis. Which of the following equations could represent the position \( x \) of the object as a function of time?
A typical \( 68 \text{-kg} \) person generates a steady mechanical power output of \( 120 \text{ W} \) at the pedals of a bicycle. Approximately how many Calories are “burned” (total metabolic energy expended) when the person rides a bicycle for \( 15 \text{ minutes} \)? A typical energy efficiency for the human body is \( 25\% \), which takes into account the release of thermal energy. Note (\( 1 \text{ Cal} = 4186 \text{ J} \)).
An object undergoes constant acceleration. Starting from rest, the object travels \( 5 \, \text{m} \) in the first second. Then it travels \( 15 \, \text{m} \) in the next second. What additional distance will be covered in the third second?
In the lab, a student is given a glass beaker filled with water with an ice cube of mass \( m \) and volume \( V_c \) floating in it.
The downward force of gravity on the ice cube has magnitude \( F_g \). The student pushes down on the ice cube with a force of magnitude \( F_P \) so that the cube is totally submerged. The water then exerts an upward buoyant force on the ice cube of magnitude \( F_B \). Which of the following is an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the ice cube when it is released?
A ski tow carries people to the top of a nearby mountain. It operates on a slope of angle \( 15.7^\circ \) of length \( 260 \) \( \text{m} \). The rope moves at a speed of \( 13.0 \) \( \text{km/h} \) and provides power for \( 54 \) riders at one time, with an average mass per rider of \( 67.0 \) \( \text{kg} \).
While traveling in its elliptical orbit around the Sun, Mars gains speed during the part of the orbit where it is getting closer to the Sun. Which of the following can be used to explain this gain in speed?
A driver is traveling at a speed of \( 18.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of \( 3.65 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \). If it takes her \( 0.350 \) \( \text{s} \) to get the brakes on and she is \( 20.0 \) \( \text{m} \) from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time? How far from the beginning of the intersection will she be, and in what direction?
A ball of radius \( r \) rolls on the inside of a circular track of radius \( R \). If the ball starts from rest at the left vertical edge of the track, what will be its speed when it reaches the lowest point of the track, rolling without slipping? For a solid spherical ball, the moment of inertia is \(\frac{2}{5} m r^2\).
If you want to double the momentum of a gas molecule, by what factor must you increase its kinetic energy?
Which pair of quantities will always have the same magnitude if motion is in a straight line and in one direction?
