Consider a ball thrown up from the surface of the earth into the air at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) above the horizontal. Air resistance is negligible. The ball’s acceleration just after release is most nearly
A disk of known radius and rotational inertia can rotate without friction in a horizontal plane around its fixed central axis. The disk has a cord of negligible mass wrapped around its edge. The disk is initially at rest, and the cord can be pulled to make the disk rotate. Which of the following procedures would best determine the relationship between applied torque and the resulting change in angular momentum of the disk?
A sled glides across ice and eventually stops. This stopping is best explained by ____.
A uniform stick has length \( L \). The moment of inertia about the center of the stick is \( I_0 \). A particle of mass \( M \) is attached to one end of the stick. The moment of inertia of the combined system about the center of the stick is
An object at rest suddenly explodes into two fragments (\(m_1\) and \(m_2\)) by an explosion. Fragment \(m_1\) acquires \(3\) times the kinetic energy of the other. What is the ratio of \(m_1\) to \(m_2\)?
Two satellites are in circular orbits around Earth. Satellite A has speed \(v_A\). Satellite B has an orbital radius nine times that of satellite A. What is the speed of satellite B?
The box is sitting on the floor of an elevator. The elevator is accelerating upward. The magnitude of the normal force on the box is
A net force of \( 8.0 \) \( \text{N} \) accelerates a \( 4.0 \) \( \text{kg} \) body from rest to a speed of \( 5.0 \) \( \text{m s}^{-1} \). Which of the following is equal to the work done by the force?
A golf club exerts an average horizontal force of \(1000 \, \text{N}\) on a \(0.045 \, \text{kg}\) golf ball that is initially at rest on the tee. The club is in contact with the ball for \(1.8 \, \text{milliseconds}\). What is the speed of the golf ball just as it leaves the tee?
A “doomsday” asteroid with a mass of \( 1010 \, \text{kg} \) is hurtling through space. Unless the asteroid’s speed is changed by about \( 0.20 \, \text{cm/s} \), it will collide with Earth and cause tremendous damage. Researchers suggest that a small “space tug” sent to the asteroid’s surface could exert a gentle constant force of \( 2.5 \, \text{N} \). For how long must this force act?
Two balls are thrown off a building with the same speed, one straight up and one at a 45° angle. Which statement is true if air resistance can be ignored?
What is the weight of a person who has a mass of \(75 \, \text{kg}\)?
