A 1100 kg car accelerates from 32 m/s to 8.0 m/s in 4.0 sec. What amount of force was needed to slow it down?
A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at \(4.0 \, \text{m/s}^2\) for \(5.0 \, \text{s}\). It next maintains the velocity it has reached for \(10 \, \text{s}\). Then it slows down at a steady rate of \(2.0 \, \text{m/s}^2\) for \(4.0 \, \text{s}\). What is the final speed of the car?
A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the merry-go-round. As he does this, it is true to say that

The motions of a car and a truck along a straight road are represented by the velocity–time graphs in the figure. The two vehicles are initially alongside each other at time \(t = 0\). At time \(T\), what is true of the distances traveled by the vehicles since time \(t = 0\)?
A curve with a radius of \( 125 \) \( \text{m} \) is properly banked for a car traveling \( 40 \) \( \text{m/s} \). What must be the coefficient of static friction \( (\mu_s) \) for a car not to skid on the same curve when traveling at \( 53 \) \( \text{m/s} \)?
Two points, A and B, are on a disk that rotates about an axis. Point A is \( 3 \) times as far from the axis as point B. If the speed of point B is \( v \), then what is the speed of point A?
The heaviest train ever pulled by a single engine was over \( 2 \, \text{km} \) long. A force of \( 1.13 \times 10^5 \, \text{N} \) is needed to get the train to start moving. If the coefficient of static friction is \( 0.741 \) and the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( .592 \), what is the train’s mass?
A new car is tested on a \(230 \, \text{m}\)-diameter track. If the car speeds up at a steady \(1.4 \, \text{m/s}^2\), how long after starting is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration equal to the tangential acceleration?
A person is standing on a railroad station platform when a high-speed train passes by. The person will tend to be
Which of the following must be true for an object at translational equilibrium?
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?
Two balls are launched at the same speed. Ball A is launched at an angle of \( 45^{\circ} \) and Ball B is launched at an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \). Which one reaches a higher point?
A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard \( 3.4 \) \( \text{s} \) later. If the speed of sound is \( 340 \) \( \text{m/s} \), how high is the cliff?
Suppose we wish to make a neutrally buoyant hollow sphere out of titanium (\(\rho = 4500 \text{kg/m}^3\)). If the sphere has an outer radius of \( 1.5 \) \( \text{m} \), what must be its inner radius?
A ball is launched horizontally from a height. At the same time, another ball is dropped vertically from the same height. Which hits the ground first?
A \(25 \, \text{g}\) steel ball is attached to the top of a \(24 \, \text{cm}\)-diameter vertical wheel of negligible mass. Starting from rest, the wheel accelerates at \(470 \, \text{rad/s}^2\). The ball is released after \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a revolution. How high does it go above the center of the wheel?
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?
Two blocks are on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Block \( A \) is moving with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \) toward block \( B \), which is stationary. The two blocks collide, stick together, and move off with a velocity of \( \frac{v_0}{3} \). Which block, if either, has the greater mass?
A spacecraft accelerates at a rate of \(20.0 \, \text{m/s}^2\).
A pulley system consists of two blocks of mass \( 5 \) \( \text{kg} \) and \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \), connected by a rope of negligible mass that passes over a pulley of radius \( 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \) and mass \( 2 \) \( \text{kg} \). The pulley is free to rotate about its axis. The system is released from rest, and the block of mass \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \) starts to move downwards. Assume the pulley has a frictional force of \(5.7\) Newtons acting on the outer edge of the pulley.
A student is running at her top speed of \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \) to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still \( 40.0 \, \text{m} \) from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of \( 0.170 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
A student designs an experiment to determine the density of an unknown fluid. The student pours the fluid into a graduated cylinder and attaches an object to a force probe. The object has a density greater than the density of the fluid. The student partially submerges the object into the fluid and records both the volume of fluid displaced in the graduated cylinder and the reading on the force probe. The student then submerges the object further and, at each trial, records the new values of displaced volume and force probe reading until the object is fully submerged. The student constructs a graph of force probe reading (vertical axis) as a function of volume of fluid displaced (horizontal axis). Which of the following statements correctly describes how a feature of this graph is related to the density of the fluid?
At what distance from the Earth will a spacecraft traveling directly from the Earth to the Moon experience zero net force because the Earth and Moon pull in opposite directions with equal force?
A bullet of mass \(0.0500 \, \text{kg}\) traveling at \(50.0 \, \text{m/s}\) is fired horizontally into a wooden block suspended from a long rope. The mass of the wooden block is \(0.300 \, \text{kg}\) and it is initially at rest. The collision is completely inelastic and after impact the bullet + wooden block move together until the center of mass of the system rises a vertical distance \(h\) above its initial position.
