A \(20 \, \text{g}\) piece of clay moving at a speed of \(50 \, \text{m/s}\) strikes a \(500 \, \text{g}\) pendulum bob at rest. The length of a string is \(0.8 \, \text{m}\). After the collision, the clay-bob system starts to oscillate as a simple pendulum.
A uniform, solid, \( 100 \) \( \text{kg} \) cylinder with a diameter of \( 1.0 \) \( \text{m} \) is mounted so it is free to rotate about a fixed, horizontal, frictionless axis that passes through the centers of its circular ends. A \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \) block is hung from a very light, thin cord wrapped around the cylinder’s circumference. When the block is released, the cord unwinds and the block accelerates downward. What is the acceleration of the block?
On a strange, airless planet, a ball is thrown downward from a height of \( 17 \, \text{m} \). The ball initially travels at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \). If the ball hits the ground in \( 1 \, \text{s} \), what is this planet’s gravitational acceleration?
A \(5.0 \, \text{g}\) coin is placed \(15 \, \text{cm}\) from the center of a turntable. The coin has coefficients of static and kinetic friction of \(\mu_s = 0.80\) and \(\mu_k = 0.50\). The turntable slowly speeds up to \(60 \, \text{rpm}\). Does the coin slide off the turntable?
When the mass of a simple pendulum is tripled, the time required for one complete vibration
Flywheels (rapidly rotating disks) are widely used in industry for storing energy. They are spun up slowly when extra energy is available, then decelerate quickly when needed to supply a boost of energy. A flywheel, \( 20 \text{ cm} \) in diameter, can spin at \( 20{,}000 \text{ rpm} \).
A whiffle ball is tossed straight up, reaches a highest point, and falls back down. Air resistance is not negligible. Which of the following statements are true?
Two identical blocks are connected to the opposite ends of a compressed spring. The blocks initially slide together on a frictionless surface with velocity \( v \) to the right. The spring is then released by remote control. At some later instant, the left block is moving at \( \frac{v}{2} \) to the left, and the other block is moving to the right. What is the speed of the center of mass of the system at that instant?
A major-league pitcher can throw a baseball in excess of \( 41.0 \, \text{m/s} \). If a ball is thrown horizontally at this speed, how much will it drop by the time it reaches a catcher who is \( 17.0 \, \text{m} \) away from the point of release?

A ball of mass \( m \) is suspended from two strings of unequal length as shown above. The magnitudes of the tensions \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) in the strings must satisfy which of the following relations?
A projectile is launched at a speed of \( 22 \) \( \text{m/s} \) at an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \) above the horizontal. It lands on a ramp that is \( 5 \) \( \text{m} \) lower than the launch height. How long does it take for the projectile to hit the ramp?
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 \( \mu_k = 0.65 \).
Will Clark throws a baseball with a horizontal component of velocity of \(25 \, \text{m/s}\). It takes \(3 \, \text{s}\) to come back to its original height. Calculate the baseball’s:
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.
One ball is dropped vertically from a window. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown horizontally from the same window. Which ball has the greater speed at ground level?
Which of the following must be true for an object at translational equilibrium?
Can an object have a non-zero distance and zero average speed?
A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed of the boat
If an object is moving, is it possible for the net force acting on it to be zero? Explain.
A box is sliding down an incline at a constant speed of \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \). The angle of the incline is \( \theta \). The magnitude of the total of the opposing forces is \( 16 \, \text{N} \). Derive an equation for the force of gravity acting on the box.
The International Space Station travels at \( 7660 \, \text{m/s} \). Find the average velocity of the space station if it takes \( 90 \, \text{minutes} \) to make one full orbit around Earth.
A rotating, rigid body makes 10 complete revolutions in 10 seconds. What is its average angular velocity?
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 rock is thrown from the top of a \( 15 \) \( \text{m} \) building at an unknown angle and speed. It hits a target on the ground \( 35 \) \( \text{m} \) away horizontally \( 3 \) \( \text{s} \) after launch. What was the rock’s launch angle?
