The \( 70 \) \( \text{kg} \) student in the figure balances a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) elephant on a hydraulic lift. Assume that it is filled with oil, which is incompressible and has a density \( \rho = 900 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). What is the diameter of the piston the student is standing on? Assume each piston has a cylindrical shape, i.e., a circular cross-sectional area. Note: The two pistons are at the same height. Also, the diameter of the wider piston is given in the figure to be \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m} \).
A coffee cup on the dashboard of a car slides forward when the driver decelerates from \(45 ~ \frac{\text{km}}{\text{hr}}\) to rest in \(3.5 \, \text{s}\) or less. What is the coefficient of static friction between the cup and the dash? Assume the road and the dashboard are completely horizontal.

A projectile is launched at an upward angle of \( 30^\circ \) to the horizontal with a speed of \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \).

In a town’s water system, pressure gauges in still water at street level read \( 150 \) \( \text{kPa} \). If a pipeline connected to the system breaks and shoots water straight up, how high above the street does the water shoot?
You are working out on a rowing machine. Each time you pull the rowing bar toward you, it moves a distance of \(1.25 \, \text{m}\) in a time of \(0.84 \, \text{s}\). The readout on the display indicates that the average power you are producing is \(76 \, \text{W}\). What is the magnitude of the force that you exert on the handle?
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.
The coefficient of static friction between hard rubber and normal street pavement is about \(0.85\). On how steep a hill (maximum angle) can you leave a car parked?
A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15,000 rpm in 240 s. Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?
A \(15 \, \text{g}\) marble moves to the right at \(3.5 \, \text{m/s}\) and makes an elastic head-on collision with a \(22 \, \text{g}\) marble. The final velocity of the \(22 \, \text{g}\) marble is \(2.0 \, \text{m/s}\) to the right, and the final velocity of the \(15 \, \text{g}\) marble is \(5.4 \, \text{m/s}\) to the left. What was the initial velocity of the \(22 \, \text{g}\) marble?
Two paper cups are suspended by strings and hung near each other. They are separated by about \( 10 \) \( \text{cm} \). Explain what happens to the cups when you blow air between them. Hint: Do they remain still, moves away from each other or move towards each other?
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.
A pendulum bob of mass m on a cord of length L is pulled sideways until the cord makes an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical. The change in potential energy of the bob during the displacement is:
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 uniformly from rest to \( 29.4 \) m/s in \( 6.93 \) s along a level stretch of road. Ignoring friction, determine the average power in both watts and horsepower (\( 1 \text{ horsepower} = 745.7 \text{ Watts} \)) required to accelerate the car if:
Two blocks, \( m_2 > m_1 \), having the same kinetic energy, move from a frictionless surface onto a surface having friction coefficient \( \mu_k \). Which block will travel further before stopping.
Two satellites of equal mass, \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \), orbit the Earth. \( S_1 \) is orbiting at a distance \( r \) from the Earth’s center at speed \( v \). \( S_2 \) orbits at a distance \( 2r \) from the Earth’s centre at speed \( \dfrac{v}{\sqrt{2}} \). The ratio of the centripetal force on \( S_1 \) to the centripetal force on \( S_2 \) is
A vertical rope of negligible mass supports a block that weighs \(30 N\). The breaking strength of the rope is \( 50 N\). The largest acceleration that can be given to the block by pulling up on it with the rope without breaking the rope is most nearly
A block is attached to a horizontal spring and is initially at rest at the equilibrium position \( x = 0 \), as shown in Figure \( 1 \). The block is then moved to position \( x = -A \), as shown in Figure \( 2 \), and released from rest, undergoing simple harmonic motion. At the instant the block reaches position \( x = +A \), another identical block is dropped onto and sticks to the block, as shown in Figure \( 3 \). The two–block–spring system then continues to undergo simple harmonic motion. Which of the following correctly compares the total mechanical energy \( E_{\text{tot},2} \) of the two–block–spring system after the collision to the total mechanical energy \( E_{\text{tot},1} \) of the one–block–spring system before the collision?
It takes \(4 \, \text{s}\) for an individual to push a \(70 \, \text{kg}\) box up a \(5 \, \text{m}\) long, \(12^\circ\) ramp. The box starts from rest and achieves a speed of \(2.5 \, \text{m/s}\) at the top. Friction does \(350 \, \text{J}\) of work during its ascent. Calculate the power output of the individual pushing the box.
A circus cannon fires an acrobat into the air at an angle of \( 45^\circ \) above the horizontal, and the acrobat reaches a maximum height \( y \) above her original launch height. The cannon is now aimed so that it fires straight up, at an identical speed, into the air at an angle of \( 90^\circ \) to the horizontal. In terms of \( y \), what is the acrobat’s new maximum height?
A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam. The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long. The goodies weigh 80 N.
A \(250 \, \text{newton}\) centripetal force acts on a car moving at a constant speed in a horizontal circle. If the same force is applied, but the radius is made smaller, what happens to the speed \(v\) and the frequency \(f\) of the car?
