Find the approximate minimum mass needed for a spherical ball with a \(40\) \(\text{cm}\) radius to sink in a liquid of density \(1.4 \times 10^3\) \(\text{kg/m}^3\). Use \(9.8 \text{m/s}^2\) for \(g\).
A \( 1000 \) \( \text{kg} \) car is traveling east at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \) when it collides perfectly inelastically with a northbound \( 2000 \) \( \text{kg} \) car traveling at \( 15 \) \( \text{m/s} \). If the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( 0.9 \), how far, and at what angle do the two cars skid before coming to a stop?
A child of mass \( 3 \) \( \text{kg} \) rotates on a platform of \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \). They start walking towards the center while the platform is rotating. Which of the following could possibly decrease the total angular momentum of the child-platform system?
One end of a spring is attached to a solid wall while the other end just reaches to the edge of a horizontal, frictionless tabletop, which is a distance \(h\) above the floor. A block of mass \(M\) is placed against the end of the spring and pushed toward the wall until the spring has been compressed a distance \(x\). The block is released and strikes the floor a horizontal distance \(D\) from the edge of the table. Air resistance is negligible. Derive expressions for the following quantities only in terms of \(M, x, D, h,\) and any constants.
The side of an above-ground pool is punctured, and water gushes out through the hole. If the total depth of the pool is \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \), and the puncture is \( 1 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground level, what is the efflux speed of the water?
The diagram above shows a marble rolling down an incline, the bottom part of which has been bent into a loop. The marble is released from point A at a height of \(0.80 \, \text{m}\) above the ground. Point B is the lowest point and point C the highest point of the loop. The diameter of the loop is \(0.35 \, \text{m}\). The mass of the marble is \(0.050 \, \text{kg}\). Friction forces and any gain in kinetic energy due to the rotating of the marble can be ignored. When answering the following questions, consider the marble when it is at point C.
The figure shows a person’s foot. In that figure, the Achilles tendon exerts a force of magnitude F = 720 N. What is the magnitude of the torque that this force produces about the ankle joint?
Above is the graph of the velocity vs. time of a duck flying due south for the winter. At what point might the duck begin reversing directions?
Consider a neutron star with a mass equal to the sun, a radius of 10 km, and a rotation period of 1.0 s. What is the radius of a geosynchronous orbit about the neutron star? The mass of the sun can be found in the formula sheet above.
A sphere of mass \(0.5\) \(\text{kg}\) is dropped into a column of oil. At the instant the sphere becomes completely submerged in the oil, the sphere is moving downward at \(8\) \(\text{m/s}\), the buoyancy force on the sphere is \(4.0\) \(\text{N}\), and the fluid frictional force is \(4.0\) \(\text{N}\). Which of the following describes the motion of the sphere at this instant?
A rubber ball and a lump of clay have equal mass. They are thrown with equal speed against a wall. The ball bounces back with nearly the same speed with which it hit. The clay sticks to the wall. Which one of these objects experiences the greater impulse?
Two identical metal balls are being held side by side at the top of a ramp. Alex lets one ball, \( A \), start rolling down the hill. A few seconds later, Alex’s partner, Bob, starts the second ball, \( B \), down the hill by giving it a push. Ball \( B \) rolls down an identical, parallel path to the first ball and passes it. At the instant ball \( B \) passes ball \( A \) (select all that apply):
Three blocks are stacked on top of one another. The top block has a mass of \( 4.6 \, \text{kg} \), the middle one has a mass of \( 1.2 \, \text{kg} \), and the bottom one has a mass of \( 3.7 \, \text{kg} \).
Identify and calculate any normal forces between the objects.
A block rests on a frictionless incline. Which statement is correct?
A truck of mass 3500 kg hits the back of a small car of mass 1400 kg. Which car exerted more force on the other and why?
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 comet of mass \( m_c = 3.2 \times 10^{14} \) \( \text{kg} \) is orbiting a star with mass \( m_s = 1.8 \times 10^{30} \) \( \text{kg} \). The comet’s orbit is elliptical. At its closest point, the comet is a distance \( r_1 = 8.3 \times 10^{10} \) \( \text{m} \) from the star, and at its farthest point, the comet is a distance \( r_2 = 4.9 \times 10^{11} \) \( \text{m} \) from the star. What is the change in the kinetic energy of the comet as it moves along its orbit from distance \( r_2 \) to distance \( r_1 \) from the star?
A neighbor’s child wants to go to a carnival to experience the wild rides. The neighbor is worried about safety because one of the rides looks particularly dangerous. She knows that you have taken physics and so asks you for advice. The ride in question has a \(4 \, \text{kg}\) chair which hangs freely from a \(10 \, \text{m}\) long chain attached to a pivot on the top of a tall tower. When the child enters the ride, the chain is hanging straight down. The child is then attached to the chair with a seat belt and shoulder harness. When the ride starts up, the chain rotates about the tower. Soon the chain reaches its maximum speed and remains rotating at that speed, which corresponds to one rotation about the tower every \(3 \, \text{seconds}\). When you ask the operator, he says the ride is perfectly safe. He demonstrates this by sitting in the stationary chair. The chain creaks but holds, and he weighs \(90 \, \text{kg}\).
A body starting from rest moves along a straight line under the action of a constant force. After traveling a distance \( d \) the speed of the body is \( v \). The speed of the body when it has travelled a distance \( \dfrac{d}{2} \) from its initial position is
A ball is kicked at a speed of \( v_0 \) at an angle \( \theta \) above the horizontal. The ball travels 25 meters horizontally. If the ball is kicked at \( 2v_0 \), what will the horizontal displacement be?
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 hoop with a mass \(m\) and unknown radius is rolling without slipping on a flat surface with an angular speed \(\omega\). The hoop encounters a hill and continues to roll without slipping until it reaches a maximum height \(h\).
Three students are pulling on a bag of skittles. Each is pulling with a horizontal force. If student 1 pulls Eastward with \(170 \, \text{N}\), student 2 pulls Southward with \(100 \, \text{N}\) and student 3 pulls with \(200 \, \text{N}\) at an angle of \(20^\circ\) west of north, what is the net force caused by the three students on the bag of skittles?
A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of \( 24.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \).
