In which of the following is the rate of change of the particle’s momentum zero?
A cart with a mass of \( 20 \) \( \text{kg} \) is pressed against a wall by a horizontal spring with spring constant \( k = 244 \) \( \text{N/m} \) placed between the cart and the wall. The spring is compressed by \( 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \). While the spring is compressed, an additional constant horizontal force of \( 20 \) \( \text{N} \) continues to push the cart toward the wall. What is the resulting acceleration of the cart?
On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on Earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball \(3.5\) times as far as he would have on Earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of \(45 \, \text{m/s}\) at an angle of \(29^\circ\) above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee. On the distant planet find:
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 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 kg chair which hangs freely from a 10 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 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 kg.
Determine the distance from the Earth’s center to a point outside the Earth where the gravitational acceleration due to the Earth is \( \dfrac{1}{10} \) of its value at the Earth’s surface.
A horizontal, uniform board of weight 125 N and length 4 m is supported by vertical chains at each end. A person weighing 500 N is sitting on the board. The tension in the right chain is 250 N. How far from the left end of the board is the person sitting?

Three blocks of masses \(m_3 = 1.0 \, \text{kg}\), \(m_2 = 2.0 \, \text{kg}\), and \(m_1 = 4.0 \, \text{kg}\) are connected by massless strings, one of which passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass, as shown above.
A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 5 seconds for a distance of 100 m. Determine the acceleration of the car.
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
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 bald eagle in level flight at a height of \(135 \, \text{m}\) drops the fish it caught. If the eagle’s speed is \(25.0 \, \text{m/s}\) how far from the drop point will the fish land?
A red car, initially at rest, travels east with an acceleration of \( 3.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). At the same time as the red car starts to move, a blue car is traveling west at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \) and accelerating at \( 1.2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). If they are \( 600 \, \text{m} \) apart the moment the red car starts to move and they are traveling towards each other, where and when will they meet?
A string is wound tightly around a fixed pulley having a radius of 5.0 cm. As the string is pulled, the pulley rotates without any slipping of the string. What is the angular speed of the pulley when the string is moving at 5.0 m/s?
A uniform solid cylinder of mass [katex] M [/katex] and radius [katex] R [/katex] is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A massless string is attached to the cylinder and is wrapped around it. The string is then pulled with a constant force [katex] F [/katex] , causing the cylinder to rotate about its center of mass. After the cylinder has rotated through an angle [katex] \theta [/katex], what is the kinetic energy of the cylinder in terms of [katex] F [/katex] and [katex] \theta [/katex]?
If a baseball pitch leaves the pitcher’s hand horizontally at a velocity of \( 150 \) \( \text{km/h} \), by what \( \% \) will the pull of gravity change the magnitude of the velocity when the ball reaches the batter, \( 18 \) \( \text{m} \) away? For this estimate, ignore air resistance and spin on the ball.
A force of \(17 \, \text{N}\) is applied to the end of a \(0.63 \, \text{m}\) long torque wrench at an angle \(45^\circ\) from a line joining the pivot point to the handle. What is the magnitude of the torque about the pivot point produced by this force?
A \(10 \, \text{meter}\) long pendulum on the earth, is set into motion by releasing it from a maximum angle of less than \(10^\circ\) relative to the vertical. At what time \(t\) will the pendulum have fallen to a perfectly vertical orientation?
List at least 2 everyday forces that are not conservative, and explain why they aren’t.
A \(3800 \, \text{kg}\) open railroad car coasts along with a constant speed of \(8.60 \, \text{m/s}\) along a level track. Snow begins to fall vertically and fills the car at a rate of \(3.50 \, \text{kg/min}\). Ignoring friction with the tracks, what is the speed of the car after \(90 \, \text{min}\)?
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 car traveling to the right with a speed \( v \) brakes to a stop in a distance \( d \). What is the work done on the car by the frictional force \( F \)? (Assume that the frictional force is constant)
